How To Be A Good Leader Of The School

Do you know how to be a good leader of the school? Do you treat students and school things with respect? This explanation writing will be explaining how to be one and show that you are one.

Good leaders show respect to newcomers and visitors,they welcome them with
respect and kindness. They will show respect by showing them around the
block or school,and also becoming friends with them,while showing kindness.
For example you see a new student come into your class, you could nicely
greet them with a “Hello” or “Hi”,and probably introduce yourself to them so
when they need help they can ask you or the teacher.

Being good leaders of the school means to be helpful.Being helpful means to
help teachers and students with things they are struggling to do in class.
For an example you saw a teacher carrying boxes with things in it because
she is going to do something with their class,you ran towards her to help,
and then they will thank you because you were showing them that you are a
good leader of the school.

If you were to be a good leader you would wear your uniform with pride and be
proud of yourself.Wearing your uniform with pride means you are proud of
yourself and you are proud of the school you are in.For example you could
wear the right uniform wear and coming in with full school uniform,because
some students come in with extra clothes from home like a jacket or a jumper.

So you now know what and how you should become a good leader of the
school? So are you going to be respectful,kind,helpful and have pride towards
others,well take my advice and see if it works.

Spaghetti and Marshmallow Tower

Today we learnt about how to demonstrate what Smart Relationships is and qualities about it.Our challenge for today was to build a Spaghetti and Marshmallow Tower with 15 sticks,1 big marshmallow in 15 minutes. When we started I was very excited to win and thought it would be easy,but as we started to build I didn't know what to do.As we were still trying to build,we broke parts of the marshmallow and put each of the Spaghetti sticks on each part of the small marshmallows, that we broke.We looked around to see how everybody else's one was going and some fell.

It was five minutes left and we still couldn't make our tower stand,our hands were sticky and our spaghetti sticks were mostly covered with marshmallow.Our tower wasn't in place but we were still trying to make stand.We only had less time left,we were struggling to make our tower stand 3...2...1... STOP! our teacher came to measure our tower but then it fell.She measured it and our height measure was 3 centimetres.We almost lost but at least we came 4th.The qualities that my team had and did was being helpful,patient,communication and loyal.

Task Description:

This week in Room 5 Literacy we learnt about why is it ok or why is it not ok to steal.Well my questions in my head were is it ok to steal on purpose,is it ok to save your family,well what would chose.

Technology Wood

Step 1 I used a piece of wood,a pencil and a steel ruler to make a full size
working drawing of my Box because it will show proof that it can be made and
that I can make too. Step 2 I also used a Tri-square to copy the measurements
from my drawing onto the wood that I’m using. Step 3 I marked a square line at
90 degrees across the wood to make it straight. Step 4 I cut off the first piece of
wood carefully using a Backed saw and a Bench hook. Step 5 I then marked
out the joint using a Tri-Square to check if it was straight.Step 6 I used a
Backed saw again to cut the line and stopped in the middle of the side of my
wood.Step 9 after I cut it,I used a Wood Chisel to make a joint on both of my
wood.Step 10 I got two spare of flat wood to make the sides of my box.Step 11
I glued all the pieces together and used rubber bands to tighten it,now I have
to wait for 30 minutes.Step 12 after 30 minutes my box dried up and now I am
getting a lid for my box.Step 13 I finished.

Evaluation

For my project I have created turned out to be very good,and I am actually
proud of myself for finishing it on time,than taking my time.Before I made my
Box I also had other ideas that I couldn’t have done. The ideas that I would’ve
done was a truck,jewellery tree, helicopter, bus,skateboard,ship,and a pencil
holder.But I made my decision and made a Box.I actually thought making a
Box was going to be easy but turned out to be hard.The working drawing of
my Box started of with a joint,then draw a box using a pencil and ruler to know
when I am going to stop measuring.The height of my woods was both 160
centimetres,and also the bottom wood.The marking out of my Box was very
important,I am very nervous that my teacher going to say that had mistakes
but it was actually OK.When I used a backed saw I was very nervous and
scared that thought I was going to cut my hand.The chiselling was kind of
scary too, because I thought I was going to chisel the wrong part of my wood.
After that I put all my pieces together.I looked at what I have done and checked
if it worked probably,and stayed together.If I had to make another box than this
one right now it would look better.

Geometry Maths Introduction

WALT: Use and Understand Geometry terms to solve our MathsTask Discription: Geometry is about Maths and about Transformation,Symmetry,Translated,Reflection,and Rotation.Translation and Translated is very simmlar to eachother,they both move.Translation and Translated is about moving the number to a direction,example 5 up 2 left that means you have to move the number 5 times up and 2 times left.Symmetry and Reflection is also very similar too.Symmetry is about splitting it and Reflection is about is a reflection of it,example split the square in to half and make sure it is the same shape as the other half like a Reflection.Last one is Rotation.Rotation is about rotating the shape,example rotate the shape anticlockwise 2 times then you rotate the shape see where it is.Thank you for reading.

Guest Speakers

Today we had Guest Speakers come into our school,and there names are Jason Young,Fiona Bakulich and Tanielu Tele'a there family.The reason why we had this is because team 5 is working on there Malanga which means journey and also our future career.

They have been very close ever since.The other schools that he went to was Tamaki Intermediate and then Tamaki Collage.

The second person who went was Fiona Bukalich. Fiona Bukalichis Mrs Tele'a sister,but the weird part about them was that Mrs Tele'a was born first then Fiona came passed and was born 1 mouth in an 11 days,so there probably there same age. Fiona graduated as a Funeral director and now a senior Funeral director at a Tipene home.The schools that she went to was mangare school with Mrs Tele'a.

Last person of all to talk is Tanielu Tele'a.He plays for Rugby Union and his team are The Blues.He came to Pt England school as well,followed by his little siblings Toreka,Justice and Noelle.In one of his rugby games he got run away and got a try,but some of the years he got injured and mostly got injured on his knee.

Valentines Chart

Characteristics

What it means to be a good role model. Are you a good role model, do you show support, encourage &
show respect to other people? In this explanation writing I am going to be explaining the reasons of what
a good role model is & how a good role model sounds and acts.

Good role models are the types of people who encourage, motivate and respect other people. Good role
models encourage others to never ever give up, they motivate people to strive and succeed, respect their
peers and treat others the way they want to be treated. For example one of my role models is my mama.
My mama has always encouraged and motivated me throughout my life at school. My mama has always
encouraged me and told me that I should never give up with the things I do and achieve.

To me being a good role model is someone who is positive all the way, confident with all things in life and
someone who is bubbly and funny. Role models are people who are positive, being positive is a big thing
in being a role model. Being a role model you have to be confident and face the challenges in life. You
may not always be happy with the things you do but it’s best to be positive all the time. My mother is
another role model of mine because she is very confident with the things she does, she is positive most
of the time and always shows happiness towards others.

A role model is someone who is hard-working, mature and self-talkative. Most of my role models are
very hard-working and powerful women. They are very strong and mature and have  believed in
themselves all the way. My last two role models would have to be my teachers Mrs Ilaoa and Mrs Sio.
The reasons why they are my two role models are because they are very hard-working. They work hard,
never give up and always try to teach us new things at school. Our class can be a handful or more
sometimes but my two role model teachers are always strong and push us until we succeed.

So now that you’ve read my story about “Role Models” are you strong, powerful and motivational
enough to be a good role model? Everyone has the strength to be a role model. So use your strength
and become a better role model then you already are!
