Silver Attitude | Tutor Someone Who Needs Extra Help With a Skill

For my Silver Attitude award, I chose to help someone who needs extra help with a skill. The person I chose to help was Peyton. Peyton was in my activity group during camp. She wasn't too sure of what she was doing therefore, I helped her. 

Respect Silver | Thank You Letter

For my silver respect award, I chose to complete writing a thank you letter to a teacher. I wrote a thank you letter to: Mr Johnston, Mr Ogilvie and Miss Caroline. This was because they each helped with our camp experience for 2021. I enjoyed this activity because it gave me a chance to show my appreciation towards these teachers. 

Attitude Silver | Representing the School

One of the tasks I chose to complete in order to get my silver attitude badge was: representing the school at an inter-school competition. I went to Mt Wellington War Memorial Park to compete against other schools in cricket. I enjoyed the day and found it really fun. 

Confidence Silver | Leading a School Assembly

I chose to lead a school assembly for one of the five tasks in order to get my confidence badge. I was presenting the assembly with Ong. I was really nervous at first but then I got the hang of it and spoke more confidently. Ong and I made a few minor mistakes but besides that, we did really good. 

Confidence Silver | How to Stand Up to Bullies

I was completing my confidence silver tasks. This activity was based on creating a DLO that explains how people can stand up to bullies. I choose to write about using W.I.T.S. This acronym stands for: "Walk away, Ignore, Talk to an adult/teahcer and Stay away". Using these can resolve your problem because it doesn't cause any problems and is safe. I enjoyed this activity because it can help other people in the future. 

Duffy Assembly

LI: to understand why reading is very important.

Today we had our first duffy assembly of the year. Our special guest was Marc Duffy. Marc Duffy was a man who struggled to read when he was younger. As Marc struggled to read, he mixed into the wrong croud and ended up in prison. There was a teacher in his prison that took Marc under his wing and taught Marc how to read properly. Marc came to be a very successful person and is now running the biggest shopping centre in New Zealand. This story shows how successful you can be despite the devestating turns in your life. Marc has his own site: https://marcwduffy.wordpress.com/about-marc/

Key Competencies

LI: To compare the Key Competencies we think we will use on camp and the Key Competencies we actually used.

Before LS2 went to camp, our challenge was to think about when we might have used the key competencies as we overlooked each challenge. 

After coming back from camp, we looked at our key compentencies and compared how we thought we would use the key competencies to how we really used the key competencies. 

I found this activity helpful because we worked as a team to talk about our ideas and expanded the ideas more in depth.
