Term 1 Integrated Learning - Leadership

We have been learning all about What makes a good leader.

Here is a link to the Leadership modelling book.

We identified that good leaders show 6 main character traits. These are trustworthy, Resilient, Goal focused, active thinking, Integrity and Motivational

The leadership trait that I think I show the most is being Motivational because at Koru game trails I was cheering people on and helping them when they needed it.

The leadership trait I would most like to develop is being Resilient because during Koru games trail

Something NEW I have learned about leadership is you Don't have to have a badge to be a good leader.

The SOLO level that I reached during this unit of learning is Extended Abstract because I can evaluate the effectiveness of a leader

My next step in learning about leadership is to apply everything that I have learned about leadership to my own leadership roles.

peer mediation merit evidence (can do)(post 2)

a few days ago 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.

the care value I think my group and I showed the most at while we were doing peer mediation was probably showing resilience when the i pad was flat.

WALT: Apply Striking and Fielding activities in a range of sports and activities.

The striking strategies I was able to effectively demonstrate during the games we played were to stand side on when we were about to strike and keep an eye on the ball when you are about to strike.

The throwing and catching strategy I was able to effectively demonstrate during the games we played were to use soft hand when I was about to catch the ball.

My Next Steps

To improve my striking of a ball is to use a different technique because the technique I was using didn't work for me.

To Improve my catching and fielding I need to be able to know were the striker was going to hit the ball because I need to be able to be be in the right place to catch the ball.

The game that I enjoyed the most was all of thembecause I learnt a lot and I was also having fun at the same time.
