Overall I think that Richie Macaw is the better leader because he lead his team to back to back world cup titles in 2011/2015/the world cup is every four years. That is way I think Richie Mccaw is a better leader then Brendan Mccullum.

Term 1 Integrated Learning - Leadership

We have been learning all about What makes a good leader.

Here is a link to the Leadership modelling book.

We identified that good leaders show 6 main character traits. These are……. Integrity, Goal Focused, Trustworthy, Active Thinker, Resilient and Motivation.

The leadership trait that I think I show the most is…  Goal Focused because… I have focused on my learning and I don't give up and I get my work done.

The leadership trait I would most like to develop is… Motivation because… I don't really motivate other people in the classroom much.

Something NEW I have learned about leadership is… I have learnt that anyone can be a leader/ there are different types of leaders.

The SOLO level that I reached during this unit of learning is… connecting ideas because... I can compare and contrast the traits of different leaders.

(see slide 2 of the leadership modelling book for this)

My next step in learning about leadership is to apply everything that I have learned about leadership to my own leadership roles.

Music

I can describe the characteristics of music from songs of a different time and place

Over the past 7 weeks I have been learning to describe the characteristics of music from songs of a different time and place

I can describe these characteristics in a piece of music… (list them below and explain what they are)

• Form, 
• Timbre, 
• Melody, 
• Harmony, 
• Rhythm, 

Here is an example of my learning (add link)

My Argument

For writing we have been learning to write an argument using the writing process. The topic was “Are Devices Taking Over Our Lives”.

Something I did really well in my writing was… That I tried to persuade you in my writing that devices aren't taking over our lives.

Here is a section of my writing that shows this.

I.X.L maths can help you in your learning because it has games and challenges all about maths.

WALT into the blog post header

Year ⅞ -  I can use appropriate skills and technologies to find and use a range of texts for specific purposes.

For my “Evaluating Leaders” research I have been researching about… Brendan McCullum and Richie Macaw

During this unit I have had to use a range of strategies to find the information I needed on Google. This include: Reference, cross check

I have achieved this goal because… I cross checked all of my leader strengths.

My next step is to set a new reading goal. is to get more info.

Striking and Fielding Reflection

WALT: Apply Striking and Fielding activities in a range of sports and activities.

Link to modelling book on online zone.  

My Strengths

The striking strategies I was able to effectively demonstrate during the games we played were……. To hit the ball fair and catching the ball correctly by cupping my hands and doing the revues cup.

The throwing and catching strategies I was able to effectively demonstrate during the games we played were……. To catch the ball in a revues cup and a cup hands together.

My Next Steps

To improve my striking of a ball I need to… To hit the ball with more power because... If you don't have enaf power the ball want go how far you want the ball to go.

To Improve my catching and fielding I need to... cup my hands at the right time because...

If you don't cup your hands the ball will came out of your hands.

The game that I enjoyed the most was… That all of the team got a go and that everyone had fun. because… The game wouldn't have fun.

The Flag

Wait- I can gather, evaluate and synthesise information across a small range of texts.

They also used their own opinion in their story as we defined.			Overall the evidence for this side is strong/weak/uncertain… because Strong,  because all of those reasons wore persuasive and there were some strong words that linked a sentence all together.
