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.

Technology Merit #5

On Thursday the year 7/8's went to Lincoln primary school for technology. I'm in wood work and we are making speakers for my speaker it is a hexogen. Today we were painting our speakers, I'm paniting mine orange, white, black and grey. There are only three of us who aren't making a cube and I am one of them. We also started to cut our wires for the inside of them. After that I was waiting for my paint to dry.
I showed active thinking by when I wasn't sure about something I ask for help.

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.
