Peer Mediation Distinction #10

On Friday I had Peer Mediation with Maddy  when it was time for our duty we went and put our vests on and our landlords so that people knew that they could come to us if they had a problem.
There weren't any  problems which makes it easier and is good.
Firstly we went around the junior area encase any juniors had a problem.
Secondly we went went around the junior side of the field because there are always a lot of people on it so just to make sure there weren't any problems around the junior area because the little kids sometimes have problems. Then we went around the senior side which is where a lot of people again are.
Next we walk around the netball and basketball courts to see if everyone was doing the write thing. Then we when around the classrooms to see what people were doing and make sure they where in the right place.


I showed active thinking by walking around the areas the have more problems than others.


I was also being self aware by showing up on time.


I continued being a role model by playing games that are sensible.

Librarian Distinction #10

On Thursday I had Librarian with Charlie, when we got there we started off by going and getting the books off the trolley and back on the shelves once again.
The first type of books we started with were the picture books with just have one letter of the alphabet on the side, the shelves have the same so they match up.
Next we did the chapter books which have three letters on the side that are dicided by the first three letters of the authors last name, the shelves have one letter but you put it in alphabetical order.
Secondly we started returning books by Charlie was on the computer and I was scanning.
Next we issued books out for people by Charlie typing in there name so that once I scan it the book will be out under there name.
Then we went around telling people that we were closing the library.
After that we went around tidying up the cushions, chairs and books.

I showed respect by staing the whole time and not just walking out.

I was also being trustworthy by putting the books in the right areas

I have continued being a role model by helping others find the books they were looking for.

Peer Mediation Distinction #9

On Friday I had Peer Mediation with Maddy when it was time for our duty we went and put our vests on and our landlords so that people knew that they could come to us if they had a problem.
There were no problems which is way better than having people waiting in a line.
Firstly we went around the the field because there are always a lot of people on it so just to make sure there weren't any problems. We mainly go on the junior side because they play mini games of soccer and the normally argue over the rules.
Secondly  we walked though the junior area and sandpit because the juniors sometimes have problems about someone pushing them or something.
Next we walk around the netball and basketball courts to see if everyone was doing the write thing. Then we when around the classrooms to see what people were doing and make sure they where in the right place.


I showed community by walking around the whole school.

I was also being trustworthy by showing up to my duty on time.

I continued being a role model by showing everyone how you should ware a vest properly.

Technology Distinction #5

On Tuesday I went to technology in the mornings. I traveled on bus to Lincoln Primary School.
I was in wood work and it was my fourth time in is group.
Firstly I got my handle out of the cupboard and then I got a piece of p320 sandpaper for me to sand my handles.
Secondly I keep on sanding then I moved onto p600 then after a while I moved onto p1000 again after a while I moved onto p1500.
Next I had finished sanding my handle so the teacher gave me the sides of my tray.
After that I got a new piece of p80 to sand my sides.
Then it was time to pack up so I got a broom and swept the dust into a pile for someone to vacuum up.
Finally the teacher read out some riddles for us to try and answer.


I showed active thinking by using my time wisely.

I was also being an active thinker by not going up to a higher sanding paper after I have only done like one minute with the on before.

I continued being a role model by getting on the bus respectfully by not pushing.
