RADIO D2

Today I had radio, since the person who I'm rostered on with wasn't there, I had to find someone else to help with radio duty.  I found someone and we started on our script and songs.  We had started a bit late so we had to cut the show short.  I talked about the flags at our school then after a few songs we stopped and went back to class.  Today I showed leadership by getting someone to help me rather than doing it by myself which we are not allowed to do. If I had not found someone to help I could not have done my duty and radio would not have been on for the other students to listen to.

PEER MEDIATION D2

Today I had peer mediation but the field was closed so had to ask to do it with the people that were on the court area. We went to the juniors and there was no problems, so then we went to the senior area and we saw somone crying.  We helped them by asking if she was okay then we kept walking until it was time to swap over. I showed leadership by helping people even when they don't ask to be helped.

PALS D2

Today I had PALS with some of my friends and we decided to play football. I had to go and get some pozi's but I couldn't find anybody so I just went back to the game.  We had a few people but it wasn't enough to play football so I went and asked some People to come and play then we started. We made sure people got the ball and everything was fair. Some people scored goals and some of them were pretty good goals.  There were also some good saves.   The bell rang so we packed up and went to class. I showed leadership by making sure everyone got a fair and even go with the ball.

TECHNOLOGY AND ON THE BUS D1

Today I had technology at Lincoln school with the other year 7/8s.  We travel to Lincoln school on the bus.  I was showing leadership on the bus by only talking to the people next to me.  There are rules while we are on the bus that we are only allowed to talk to the people next to us. When we arrived at Lincoln I went to sewing class and started threading my machine and then we were allowed to start I made three hacky sacks.

RADIO D1

Today I had Radio station duty but I was running late for my duty.  At school we have a radio station and a handful of DJ's which I am one off.  Today when I arrived at radio duty the person I'm on with and Mr Mucullum were sorting what songs we were going to play and what articals to read. We started with our first song and one of the articles and then we played a few more songs. Then we stopped and we tidyed up because it was time to go to class and so we left.  This shows leadership by even if I was a bit late I still showed up instead of not coming.

PEER MEDIATION D1

Today I had peer mediation and since the field was closed I asked the people that were on the courts if I could do peer mediation with them and they said yes.  we put our jackets on and went to the junior area and then to the basketball courts. Then to the year 4,5,6 area and there were no problems so we went back to the junior area and there was a problem.  We tried to sort it out but the people involved kept running away so we had to get a duty teacher to help. I showed leadership by being able to get a duty teacher if needed rather than giving up and leaving it.

PALS D1

Today I had PALS and we were on kakano (little kids). We grabbed some skipping ropes,stilts and some hula hoops and let the kids play with everything. I played on the stilts and taught one little kid how to use them. Then I went to the skipping ropes and hula hoops and played with them for a we bit with the kids and showed them how to play with the things correctly. Then we packed up. I showed leadership by teaching the kids how to play with the equipment correctly.
