Merit evidence: meeting/playing with the little kids

23.3.16

Must do's

Today at morning tea time I didn't really want to play football today, so I went down to the junior area to hangout with some little kids. I couldn't find any kids that I knew so I decided to go back, and then all of a sudden some kids jump on me and said they would take me to jail. After that I tried to escape, but there was no point in trying. After trying for 10 minutes I gave in and then the bell rang and I then went back to class. I was showing active thinking by going over to the juniors and playing with the kids who didn't have any firends to play with.

Merit evidence: Garden show

Must do

The past few days Alex, Ryan ,Scott, Madyx and I went to Woolstons Working Men's Club for a garden show. On Wednesday and Thursday  we just had to set up our stand. It didn't take to long to set up on Wednesday because on Thursday we did most of the setting up, so today(Friday) we made some beetroot relish to put on some crackers to serve to the people so we could get votes from them, we needed those votes so we could get the people's choice award, we have also have a gold award from the judges. We were competing against 8-10 schools! I showed leadership these past few days by being resilient because some times some things kept falling apart but we kept on trying to fix it.

Merit Evidence: Leadership in the food forest

Must do

Yesterday me and other people worked on the food forest with Mr McAven because at this season that's when most of the flowers seeds come out and the group before us had already took the seeds so now all we have to do is to weed the food forest.

first we had put gloves on so we don't prick our self's.  It was pretty hard to find fitting pair because most of them weren't put together, so after I found a fitting pair I started weeding, it was really frustrating because the bushes were really prickly, after a while I got to use the scissors to cut so it was easier to pull the weeds out, also when I was weeding I found a Praying Mantis and a Snail whilst weeding.

After a while we had finished weed and my fingers were really tired when I pulled them out of the gloves, when I took my gloves of I put the in the box and then Mr McAven asked me to take the box to the shed which happily did so, after that I went to wash my hands and went back to class. I felt really happy because I enjoy gardening.

Merit evidence: Multicultural assembly

25/2/16

MERIT EVIDENCE

Can do

On Thursday the 25th of February we had a multicultural assembly which was run by Honor and I who are the cultural ambassadors for 2016, the assembly was awesome we has lots of different people from different cultures who preform, they preformed Taikwondo(Korean martial arts), dancing and lots of other things! My favourite thing was running the assembly with Honor because it was fun and also it's not something you do all the time! At the assembly the leadership trait I showed was goal focuses be cause I had to focus on my job otherwise I might muck up the assembly and everything would be out of order.

Merit evidence: Gardening club

22.2.16
Merit Evidence 

Can do
Last week on Thursday I did Gardening club, We were starting to create our model for the competition, this session we were stuffing Scarecrows with straw, I had to show resilience because it was really hard to stuff the straw all the way down to the bottom of the Scarecrow because The straw was wet and it was really prickly, So then after I got dozens of scratches we got the little kids to help to get the dry straw. After we finally finished stuffing the scarecrows the bell rang and we then we went back to class.
