Getting involved

This past week I think I have been getting involved.
At Lunchtime I have made sure I haven't been sitting doing nothing, I have been doing activities.
I have also made lots of new friend to hang out with.
Lastly I have made sure to turn up to my leadership roles.
The Care Value I used while getting involved was community.

Liberian

Today I had Liberian.
I was reading to a group of girls who liked me reading the Barbie books.
Thankfully the whole group of us doing Liberian brought a lot of Barbie books as their very popular.
I read a lot of books to them and then we went back to the library to return the books and bean bags.
The Care value I used was community because I was turning up for my job.

Kapa Haka

Today I had kapa Haka.
What we did was we did some practise for the cultural festival, we practised our lines and the school song. After that the year 8 girls got to practise long poi which was really good as it was my first time doing long poi.
It is much harder then it looks but I didn't do that bad I think.
The Care value I used was Excellence because I tried my best in long poi even though it was hard.

At Technology and on the bus.

Yesterday I had Technology and it was the last lesson of wood work, which was ashame as wood work is personally one of my favourite things to do at technology.
I made a little blue holder to hold my lip balms, I really liked painting it as I was trying to make it a light blue colour.
On the bus I think I did well as I followed the expectations.
The Care value I used was Respect as I followed the expectations.

librarian

Yesterday I helped one of my friends for librarian.
I really enjoy librarian because i love to read to people and reading to little kids can actually be really fun.
I read to a few little kids who liked the more girly books
Overall I think I did pretty well reading to the little kids.
The Care value I used was community because I was turning up for my job.

Librarian

Today I had Librarian (which is reading to the little kids)
Today was rather hard as the little kids were being very clingy but they liked the book i was reading.
My favourite part of Librarian is choosing the books to read to the little kids.
The Care value I used was community because I was turning up for my job.

Kapa Haka

Today I had Kapa Haka, Today we practised our new song.
We also made a new action for a school song I i personally prefer it to the old one.
Today we had a box of poi's but we sadly didn't get to use them.
Overall I hope we practise the long poi soon.
The Care value I used was community because I was turned up and stay committed

Kapa Haka

Today I did Kapa Haka and it was super fun going over all the songs we did last year.
I remember the actions and on our poi song we had to pretend we had a poi as we didn't have them.
I'm also very excited to do long poi.
Over all i'm getting used to getting back into Kapa Haka.
The Care value I used was community because I was getting into Kapa Haka

Kapa Haka

Today I had Kapa Haka.
We mainly practised the school song and some other songs that we did last year.
I enjoyed remembering the actions as they just came back to me.
Overall I really enjoyed this weeks session of Kapa Haka.
The Care value I used was community because I made sure to stay committed even though I really wanted to do long poi

Running Games With Little Kids (helping out around the school)

Today Polly and I were running mini games with the little kids.
We ran a few games as  little kids get bored very easily the games we played were what's the time Mr Wolf, Tricky tag, sneak up Granny.
It was rather hard at some points because some little kids can be difficult especially if they don't get it there own way. But overall I really enjoyed help though. I hard point is when a little kid wants it one way but everyone else wants it another way so we had to be open minded and try and do both ways.


The Care value I used was Active Thinking because sometimes it was hard but I still tried.

Being a role model

Today it was the first day of not having the year 7's as they were on camp.
So the year 8's were helping out with the little kids.
I think I helped out in a way because after lunch the group I was in was helping out in a junior class and we had to be a role model.
Also I was teaching the P.E with the Hula-Hoops so I had to be a role model then also.
The Care value I used was Community as I got involved and tried to be a good role model.

Kapa Haka

Today I had my first lesson of Kapa Haka.
I was really excited as I really like doing Kapa Haka as the year 8 girls are doing long poi this year.
So we split up into performance and apprentice groups and got the performance groups in lines based of height. We also practised out school song to go over the words and actions.
The Care value I used was community because I was made sure to turn up.

Liberian

Today I had Liberian and it was reading to the little kids again.
So me and my friends (as I asked them if they could help as the usual person I do it with wasn't at school today) got the bean bags out and  went to the Junior area to read to some books.
I read books that both boys and girls like and my friends read more girly books
Overall i'm really enjoy Liberian.

Swimming Sports

Today we had the Kauri Team swimming sports competitions, I was doing free style and backstroke in lengths and in backstroke I came 2nd I was really happy that I came a place and also 2nd!
We also had some fun house games which were collecting all the objects in the pool as fast as you can.
And there was a splash competition but Rata didn't do very well on either of those, Overall I had lots of fun at swimming sports!
The Care value I used was Respect as I tried to stay resilient.

Librarian

Today I did Librarian as tomorrow is my normal Librarian day but it is swimming tomorrow so I decided to help out today. So me and my friends got some picture books and headed to the Junior area and we read in separate areas. I read two books to a small group of little kids and after that we were finished and made the most of the rest of lunch.
Overall I enjoyed reading to little kids and looking forward to it the future.
The Care value I used was Active Thinking because I knew swimming sports was the next day.
