Kapa Haka merit post #5

Last week at Kapa Haka we practised what we are going to do at the cultural festival and it took a while but we did that when all of the non performance group left. I had to show resilience because some new people joined and they did not know what they were doing and  I also had to be resilient when we were doing long poi for about 5 minutes before something else happened, which can't be said yet.

On Tuesday the year 7 and 8 students went to technology at another school. When I was on the bus on the way there, I was sitting with Hannah and I only talked to her and nobody else and on the way back I was sitting with Grace and Brooke and again I only talked to them.

When we arrived at technology we went to our class which is textiles or sewing as we call it.

Kapa Haka merit badge #2

Last week at Kapa haka we were just learning the songs and some of the actions. It was kinda hard because the people in front of us were doing it wrong or they were being silly, so I had to show resilience and just ignore what they were doing or help them with the actions.

Food forest and working with the juniors Merit Badge must do #2

Over the last 2 days we have been doing leadership rotations. They included working with the juniors and and weeding in the food forest and in the garden behind the junior classes.

Yesterday in the junior class Room 14 we helped them out in their action stations and also working outside with the chalk. We had to do a CARE values lesson once they had finished with Miss F. Today in the junior area we had a preschool visit. We still did the action stations with them. I was outside with Alyssa doing chalk and hula hoops. But after about 10 minutes I had to leave for a meeting.

Yesterday when we were in the garden with Mr M we were pulling weeds out of the food forest as it had lots of weeds. When we put the gloves on they were way to small as they were for the juniors. That day I also had to leave early as I had another meeting to go to. Today when we were doing the weeding we had to weed the maize maze and harvest all of the corn.

We are doing these leadership rotations because the year 7's are away on camp and we did not want to sit around doing nothing as we thought that it would not help out our learning as much. It also benefited the juniors so they now feel more comfortable with us and no think of us as scary giants.

It was really fun working with the juniors and helping them get used to me and all of the other seniors. My junior that was really comfortable with me was Matilda because she was so fun and energetic. The weeding not so much as there were lots of bugs and lots of spiders. But overall it was really fun and I would definitely do it again.

Leaders meeting Merit Badge #1

Today all of the leaders had a meeting with Mr L.
It was quite challenging becuase we had to say what it meant in the book by not being a goody two shoes. I said that you have to have a even level of fun and resposibility. I used the learner quality resilient because I did not know what to say when we read the book. That meant that I had to go back through the book and find answer.

Kapa Haka Merit Badge #1

On Friday was our first week at Kapa Haka. It was challening because the year 8 girls had to help out the younger kids and we also had to show responibility so we could get our long poi.

Kauri swim sports Merit badge #4

Last Friday all of the Kauri team had swim sports at Jellie Park.  While we were there Lauren and I had the opportunity to do all of the house points. During the day we handed out about 500 pozis. We also had to calculate all of them. The points were amazing. As well as doing the house points we also had to race. I did the length races and the class relay. It was really hard. While I was doing my races and the house points I had to show resilience and goal focused because I was struggling on my races and I was also goal focused to get all of the house points done.
