library 6 excellence.

Today for pals Tracy and I did our librarian duty as we usually do on a Monday.


Unfortunately today we had lots of books away the whole shelf was fulled with books.It is not that hard but usually on a Monday we have lots and lots of people so it is hard to put books away and be at the library desk at the same time although we resolved by taking turns between putting books away and serving at the  desk which was a lot easier and got the books away quicker.

After we had finished putting the books away we started to  renew  and return our own and then put the remaining books that people had returned after we had put the ones that were at the started at first then we just finished some other renewing and returns ten we closed the library and we had some time left but as it was really cold outside we stayed inside since we were allowed to first I just read a little bit of my book wile waiting to play mancala against Tracy or Alex  I read the book Chinese Cinderella  and a little bit of  little women as classics are one of my favorite books to read.
After I just played a quick game of mancala and won and by then the bell had gone so we went to class the end.

CARE VALUE I SHOWED:Active thinking/excellence because I used my time wisely by getting out my own books and renewing and returning them and just doing my best.

pals excellence 10.

Today for Pals Tracy,Alex and I did pals for kakano we played tag games since we have never done tag games.


First, we set up and then I  went around telling the kakano that we had pals after that we explained how you can earn pozis and how to play.

Secondly, we played the game octopus and  we gave out a lot pozis and a little more to the students who were trying there best and showing care values to motivate children to do even better,although everyone was trying there best and showing care values.

After we switched the game to tricky tag aka all in tag which we thought people liked greater than octopus,Alex Tracy and I also got involved which got the kids a fun target to try and made them try harder to try and get us.After that the bell rang and we packed up we had some helpers who helped pack up and we rewarded them with pozis for showing care values.

Overall: we had a successful pals duty and did really well.
C.A.R.E VALUES: I think I sowed community by getting involved and showing excellence as it was really windy.

Reading,grammatical constructions

I can recognize and understand a variety of grammatical constructions and some rhetorical patterns


In this unit I have been learning about:
  • The parts of speech.
  • The types of nouns.
  • The types of sentences.


In this unit, I found challenging… Trying to remember the different descriptions/meaning for each of the nouns e.g pronouns,pronoun etc.

Something new I learnt was... what a conjunction is,it ties a word e.g and,but,or,so.
I know now what it is.

library 5 excellence

Today for library Tracy Alisha and I had our librarian duty as per usual on a Monday but today there were lots of people in the library because it was cold outside.

firstly, we put away the books then we stated to issue books as we put them away as we went. After about ten minutes of a long line of people, and rush, people started to sit down so then me and Tracy could renew and return books once that was finished we put away some books that people had left lying around the library after that we closed the library and all the children had gone.


after we had closed the library we found a big pile of books on the table so we put them away and then sat down while alex taught us a trick to do with the computer.

CARE VALUE I SHOWED: EXCELLENCE BY JUST DOING MY BEST TO DO A GOOD JOB.

P.A.L.S EXCELLENCE 9.

TODAY FOR PALS: Alex Tracy and I did pals we ran a game of octopus on the kakano courts.


first, we started off by setting up then by gathering people and telling them the  rules of the game,It was quite easy since everyone knew how to play.

Then,we started to plat the game and give pozis to people who were showing there care values and playing by the rules after awhile, when the game was going good we had a small argument to of  the boys were having a argument to do with the rules about moving seaweed  but we sorted it out quickly.

Lastly we gave out pozis and packed up we had some boys who helped out so we gave them pozis for showing the care values and for helping us.overall we had a successful lunchtime.

CARE VALUE I SHOWED: excellence because I tried my best to resolve the problems so that everyone was happy.

1. we put our vests on, unfortunately there were no pozis for us to hand out.
2.we set up near the fence on the at the start we only had 2 kids after about 2 minutes we had about 15 to 20.
3.then we just watched as we were on kauri so the kids were a bit more mature then the kakano team as they fight a little bit more,although we had a couple kakano but were year threes.
4.we finished the game as soon as the bell rang because people were having lots of fun luckily we had lots of people who helped packed up.

P.A.L.S-


Today Alex Tracy and I did pals for juniors as from now on the boys referee soccer and the girls do only juniors pals.

We played a game of soccer as that is one of the most popular games.We mainly only had boys and one girl.

First we set up luckily we already had a couple of year three boys who we're willing to play and help set up.

Next Tracy Alex and I sorted out the teams firstly we tried to let them choose team but it didn't work out very well so we just did random and still let people kinda have a couple friends on each side.(this is something I will remember next time to use the random technic for next time as it worked out very well.
Afterwards we ran the game we were going good until some of the boys kept teasing each other and only because someone would kick it out of the cones.

Then we tried to resolve the problem but everyone was angry at Sam who we did not see do anything so we told there teacher but we kind of had sorted it out.Though otherwise the game went quite well and every body got a pozi.

C.A.R.E values I showed were community because I tried to get involved in a positive way and was being a caring friends to those who were upset.
