leadership in the food forest

Over the last 2 days the year eight's have been working with the juniors in the food forest. the year eight's showed the juniors how to pick seeds from certain types of flowers and how to store them for next year’s food forest...here's a photo, We made envelopes to put the seeds in them the flower seeds were red clover, borage and yarrow.

After that we had morning tea in our own classes and talked about how we showed leadership during the 1st session a lot of people said that they showed leadership by helping the little kids sort out what flower seeds are what, and what envelopes they put the flowers in .

After morning tea we did chop n drop, chop n drop is we chop down useless plants and put them on trailer and they got taken away, after it was lunch, after lunch my group was sent to room 17 to help out the kakano students.

Next day we were sent to the same class room 17 to help out till lunch time, after lunch we we sent to room 18 to help out and we did little rotation on different activities.

peer mediation(post 1)

today me and my peer mediation group went to do peer mediation but when we went to get the i pad it was flat and there was no other i pad with the peer mediation form on it so we asked the teachers what to do and they said to just do it without the i pad .

at first me and my peer mediation group were a little  worried that we would have a problem but then we remembered that we hadn't had a problem any other time so we hoped that it would be the same as any other peer mediation Judy .

And it was the only problem we had was that a little girl couldn't tie her shoe lace up but that didn't count as a real problem though and it was easy fix too.

so yet again our peer mediation Judy went great even when we had no i pad.

today the year 8's have been helping out in the junior classes my group and I first went to room 18 for the first half hour we helped the juniors do art and other activities when it was time for us to go the juniors hugged us and waved us goodbye .

every thing went really well and it was fun helping out with the juniors.

When we got back to our classes we had morning tea while Mr McAven  explained to us that we were going to make up a game for the juniors to play with us after morning tea .we had to go in partners so Brooke and I went together we decided to play granny's treasure it's like sneak up granny except you have to try steal the treasure from the granny without them knowing who it was

it went really well and everything turned out the way it was planed if not better

 here's a photo of the first group we played it with

peer medation (post 3)

on Monday I did peer mediation 

my friends wanted me to draw with them in the library but I knew I had to do peer mediation for the first half of lunch so I had to tell them that I had to do peer mediation but I would draw with them in the 2nd half of lunch and luckily they totally understood.

when peer mediation finish I was so surprised because we had no problems at all I remember last year we always had to solve problem .

I took off my peer mediation gear and headed to the library to draw with my friends and tell them about peer mediation this was the best peer mediation I'd done so far and hopefully it stay this way

W.A.L.T Use graphs, tables, and rules to describe linear relationships found in number and spatial patterns. 

the question was...

Tina and Tom are twins.Tina saves and Tom spends.Tom found

a $20 note on Sunday evening and spent $2 a day starting on

 Monday. Coincidentally, Tina started work that Monday and 

gets $2.50 a day.

How long would it be before Tina has more money than Tom?

so this is my working out.......

       and this was my answer ....

I think I reached extended abstract because I can explain how I got the answer and I understand it clearly now......

I can apply some criteria to evaluate text

w.a.l.t: I can apply some criteria to evaluate text

I think my solo taxonomy went very well as i am at extended abstract as you will see how in this video

PLEASE ignore that the  video says writing prove it when it is meant to say reading prove it
