Key Leadership role Excellence #3

On Wednesday the heads and deputys went to student council and everyone else who got voted to be there classes representives. The meeting took place at 12:30 in the hall foyer set up in a circle.
This was our first meeting for this year and we started off by writing down our name on a piece of paper to say we were in the student council and it was kind of the roll.
Next we said how we got in the student council and I got in because it was part of my leadership role as deputy head girl.
Then  we said what we want to achive in the student council Eg. Fundrasie for charity, help with the ideas for the renivating of the school, sharing our voice to help the school. That was basically all we talked about seens it was our first meeting.

I showed respect by contributing to the group discussion positively.

I was also being trustworthy by showing up on time and not being late.

Probability

In Maths we have been learning to:

Compare and describe the variation between theoretical and experimental distributions in situations that involve elements of chance.

Calculate probabilities, using fractions, percentages, and ratios.

Here is a link to our online modelling book that supports this learning.

Here is some evidence of my learning.

Here is a link to some of my own experiments that I did.
Here are some screen shots of the IXL activities I have done.
Here is one of my figure it out activities.
Here is my other figure it out activities.

My next step is to continue to apply my knowledge of statistics and probability in a variety of real world situations and contexts.

Technology Excellence #2

On Thursday the year 7/8's had technology we traveled on a bus to get to Lincoln primary school.
I am in wood work and we are making speakers my speaker is a hexogon. The first thing I did was take the tape off that I had put on last week and aply new tape.
Next I started to finish painting that I didn't get done last week.  After that it was time to go to manderain, at manderain we were learning about how to say different drinks.
We also got given a sheet and we had to say the sentence that we learned. Then we shared with a partner and filled in the gaps.
When we got back I painted for a while then I stuck my speaker pat to the wood.

I showed community by being aware of others when painting by not swinging my brush around.

I also showed integrity by being honest when I didn't know what I was doing and asked for help.

Key Leadership role Excellence #1

On Tuesday all the sudent leaders had a leadership meeting, at this meeting we talked about how the run bike run went last Wednesday. We all thought I went really well and everyone participated.
All the leaders got some care ticks for what they had to do there e.g Anneke, Nicholas and I had to give a speech to open it and we had to give everyone who got first, second or thrid a medal.
The care ticks that we were given were one in each of the leadership column and display all the care values to the public and represent Oaklands school positively which were from the EOTC (education outside the classroom) column.

I showed respect by listening respectfully even if the imformation didn't aply to me.

I also showed integrity be being honest when putting my care ticks in.

Games with minimal or no equipment.

In PE we have been participating in a variety of games that require little or no equipment.

Below is the Matrix which shows our progression in this unit of learning.

The table below shows my understanding of games with minimal or no equipment.

Examples of Games that need minimal or no equipment.	What equipment would we usually need to play these games.	Why do we play games with minimal or no equipment?
Battle ships Tag games Invisible touch Cat and mouse Seek up granny Duck, duck, goose	Cones Bibs or bands Possibly a whistle.	If you don't have time to get lots of equipment. If you only have a small group and you don't want to waste time getting gear.

My Strengths.  

Some things that I have done well during this unit of learning are obeying the rules because I didn't cheat.

My Next Steps.

Some things I could improve on when playing games with minimal or no equipment are think of more ways to impove the game  Because playing it the same way over and over agian it can get boring.

Leadership article writing.

In writing I have been learning to use a wide range of punctuation appropriately and with increasing accuracy like . , ! ? “”
- colon :
- semi-colon ;
- hyphen -
- parentheses ( )
- brackets [ ]
- ellipses ...

I have been especially focusing on using parentheses and semi-colon. I have highlighted these in green where I have used them as well as other punctuation that I changed because it was used incorrectly. Here is a piece of my writing that shows this.

Leadership: is a skill of being able to motivate people/teams to work towards a goal. There are six traits of an effective leader; Integrity, Trustworthy, Active Thinker, Motivational, Resilient and Goal focused. My key leadership role for 2017 is Deputy Head Girl. This means I open and close some assemblies/ events, represent the school to the public including not at school or on official engagements. In order to be a good deputy head girl I need to show the effective leadership traits.

Getting Involved Merit #4

On Tuesday I got involved at morning tea and lunch by playing french cricket. When I was playing I was being fair by playing by the rules which were you, can't get out on the first go, you can move your feet after you hit the ball, if you catch the ball on the full or one hand one bounce the batter is out. The game worked well because we followed those rules and we kept passing the  bat around so everyone got a fair go.
I showed community by being fair and passing the ball and not hogging it.
