Leadership Food forest/Role model to the Kakano children

                                                                FOOD FOREST

Today the Year 8's and some of the Year 7's were in the food forest collecting seeds off the plants in the Food forest with the year 4's and Mr McAven. Afterwards we split up into four groups two group were using secateurs to shorten down all of the plants, then another group were doing chop and drop and they were chopping all the plants down to the ground with hedge clippers. The last group which was my group we setup like a big square with big metal gates then we put two chickens in so they could rip up the ground it was called the chicken tractor. The plants we were collecting the seeds from were called Red clovers, Borridge and Yaro.

Here is a photo of our chicken tractor.


It was pretty fun and next time I would do different things such as chop and drop.

Pals

Today for PAL's we put on our vests and we went out to set up, today we played touch for the Kauri students it was an alright turnout we had five people in each team and everyone played fair and passed the ball around. After a while one or two people left to go play a different game so I had to go in one team so it was fair. Then it got a bit boring so we mixed the teams up a bit so made the teams boys vs girls.

Intergrated Learning (Wellington)

For the past two weeks we have been learning about Wellington at the moment I am learning about Parliament, yesterday we learnt about the courts in New Zealand. In most city there is a District court and from what I know there is only two High courts in New Zealand and they are in Christchurch and Wellington. There is also the court of appeal which is in Wellington and the highest court there is is also in Wellington and its called the supreme court, all cases start in the District court or the high court, cases never start in the court of appeal or the supreme court.

On Friday we had our first session of dance, and on Friday we were told who our dance partners were, I was put with Alyssa and Prasanaa. The two dances that we are learning are the Rock'n and roll reel and the waltz. Here is a link to the songs we are doing in our dances.

Term 3 Reflection

This term 3 things I have done well are... I competed in the Koru Games, in the Koru Games we came close to last but it was still fun to play, something else I have done well is adding some stuff into my national standards spreadsheet. The last thing I did well is

Koru Games 2015

Over the last 3 days I have been playing football I played for the B team and I played goalkeeper and RM (right mid fielder).

I really enjoyed playing in goalkeeper because it felt good when someone would smash the ball at me and I saved it.

Thinking back to the beginning of the year something I have improved on was when I'm in goalkeeper I've have learnt to rush when someone is coming at me with the ball at their feet.

Overall I found the Koru Games very fun because we got to play 7 games and we just had fun and also we got to watch all of the other yr 7/8 football teams play. And I can't wait until next year.
