WALT- To achieve our goals

One of my goals is to complete all of my leadership badges I am going very well with this goal because I have earned my merit and my excellence, my next step is to continue to blog for my distinction. Another one of my goals is to improve in my maths I have improved a lot and completed a lot of maths goals such as decimal place values, negative numbers and multiplicative strategies I have also passed a lot of other of my maths goals, my next step is to make a maths prove it for multiplicative strategies. My last goal is to try and get a leadership role I think I am going good  with this because I am completing my leadership badges and homework challenges needed to get a leadership role.

DISTINCTION EVIDENCE CAN DO

Kapa Haka

On Friday I had Kapa Haka, since Kapa Haka is straight after Te  reo Maori I quietly walk over to the seats and put my book and my pencil case down and take my shoes off, I put my shoes neatly together so they are not in anybody's way. After I had taken my shoes off I walked respectfully and got into my line ready to listen to Matua Re Hari. The Kapa Haka group got to help make up some moves for our school song, some of the moves that Matua Re Hari made up were really funny and we all had a big laugh. I really like Kapa Haka because we get to learn new songs in a different language all the time and we get to perform in front of the community. 

Writing prove it

Stuck behind bars

My goal for writing was structure and language. I have passed this goal because I have done new paragraphs if there is a new speaker and I have structured my writing.

EXCELLENCE EVIDENCE CAN DO

Guitar

Today after school I had my weekly guitar lesson with Mr McCallum we have been practicing a lot for our Celebration of Learning Assembly. I am looking forward to performing Hallalujah and Nga Iwi E tomorrow. I have been working particularly to perfect my strumming patterns and changing chords fluently. I showed respect by listening to what I am meant to be working on and I will be doing some guitar practice during the holidays.

EXCELLENCE EVIDENCE MUST DO

Getting involved

I show leadership because I get involved in a variety of activities such as guitar, school band, Kapa Haka and Choir. I enjoy participating in a variety of activities around the school, it gives me the opportunity to get to know other students around the school, especially the Kakano team. These activities also allow me the opportunity to express my love of arts and culture outside of the class room. I look forward to my continued involvement at school over the next 2 years.

EXCELLENCE EVIDENCE CAN DO

KAPA HAKA
Today I had Kapa Haka I showed respect while Matua Rihari was telling us what order our items went in for the show. We kept going over the actions and Whakataka te Hau until we got them all right. We learnt a new song I really enjoyed it. It is to do with our school. I consistently show leadership because I turn up on time for Kapa Haka every week, I try my best with all the songs and actions that we do and I go home and practice the songs. At home I help my brother with the actions and give him some feedback on what I thought he did good and what he can improve on.

EXCELLENCE EVIDENCE CAN DO

GUITAR
Today after school I had my guitar lesson with Mr McCallum. We are still working towards our performance next week at the Celebration of Learning Assembly. I will be playing the guitar while the choir sings. I will also be playing the guitar while we sing Nga iwi E. As Mr McCallum had a little bit of extra time after my lesson today he taught me how to play a simple 4 count on the drums.
