Distinction Evidence Can Do
Choir
On Friday I had choir. I demonstrated leadership because I reminded Xanthe that we had choir and I showed up on time, when the role was being called I was being respectful and listening so that I could hear my name being called. At the moment we are preparing for the music festival a lot of the songs that we have to sing for the music festival are quite difficult because the songs are sung really high and the timing of the song is tricky. My favourite songs that we are preparing for the music festival are California Dreaming, Mexican Wave and Poi e. I really like Poi e because the song is a good challenge because there are a lot of words that we have to sing really fast.

Yesterday we had technology, since our bus was a little late we had to wait in one line outside by the car park waiting for the bus to arrive. I was being a good role model to the younger students and their parents walking past because I was being patient waiting for the bus, I was being respectful and I wasn't being really noisy. When the bus arrived we all got on I got onto the bus politely and said good morning to the bus driver, I found a seat quietly and put my bag down. I followed the rules and expectations that we have on the bus e.g. only talk to the person next to you. when we arrived at technology I got off the bus and said thank you to the bus driver, I continue to follow the expectations that our tech teachers have set for us too.

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.

Winter
The snow is like a big soft pillow. I can see children building a
snowman as tall as a tree. Whoosh kerr as the frost hardens up.
I can see smoke coming out from the chimneys, it felt as cold
as Antarctica. I sat by the fire and had a hot chocolate.
That is the end of my winter treat. Now here comes spring with
a new heat.

On Tuesday I helped out with the sausage sizzle. I could see that they were really busy so I went and offered to help serve. I was fast and efficient at serving the sausages. When the queues had subsided I went to the kitchen and helped to cut the tops off juicies so they could be served. My friends wanted me to come play with them outside but I said no because I had already offered to help with the sausage sizzle.
