Student leader Nomination

I am the perfect choice for the 2016 sports leader because of my love for sports and participation in everything I can. I am confident and encourage all students. I try my best to respect the rules, have a positive attitude, show confidence, and strive to do my best, making me a fit role model for our younger students. In all games, I follow instructions and make sure my team mates do as well. I look at all sports with a smile because I've been participating in them at every chance I get. I can show confidence when representing our school, attempt to do my best, and try to set a positive example for others to follow.The most important key to being a leader is encouraging others,lead by example and that is something I can do. I am supportive towards others, not only my friends and classmates, but students from other classes. Being a leader means I have to take of a lot of responsibilities, but I am ready. I will also be a fun leader, it’s not all about being serious. I will make sure others enjoy the sport, and face every challenge with a smile. Anything that involves sports, I will volunteer to do and participate in. I promise to try my best to do what I can to become a great leader,and fill the shoes of Samantha and Shantay. I am committed to becoming a leader and hope that I can be given the chance to prove myself in this important school role.

Student leader nomination has been done. The year 7's from room 5 and 6 were called in room 5 to nominate people for the student school leader in 2016. I was nominated for sports leader and i was very proud of my self because my main aim for this year was to become a sports leader and i have an opportunity to be what i want to be . Mrs Anderson told us to persuade others by write a paragraph telling why you should be the best choice to be picked for a school leader.

What is Problem solving

What is problem solving? Does it only happen in Maths?

 Problem solving is when you are trying to solve a question .You can use problem solving anywhere. You can do it while doing shopping, figuring what time it is until your late for school and at the airport if you don’t know what time your plane leaves. Problem solving is not just about using numbers. You can use problem solving when u are trying to find out complicated problems for example: You forget where you put your priceless watch and you don’t know where it is, you have to remember where was the last time you had it. People use them in maths problems like using different strategies to figure out the answer. There are so many different strategies to use.

Today for writing in room 5 we talked about What is Problem solving. We went around the room and each went to a different partner and talked about what is problem solving. Then we were told to make a paragraph about what is problem solving and does it only happen in maths in. After that we had to get a partner and have a look at their work and comment on it.

Choosing a new flag

Today room 5 have been talking about choosing a new flag. In the morning room 5 had a look at each flag to see which one was our favorite. We chose our best one and went around the room and told our idea of what flag we liked the most and gave a reason why for oral language (4-3-2-1). We did this so we can share each others ideas about the other flags and see which one they thought they liked. After that we went to the new class rooms and we got a token and we were told we were only allowed to put that token into one of the buckets. The buckets each represented one of the flags so if we put our token in the Koru flag bucket, that means you voted for the Koru flag.
