Emotional Safety

At school we have been learning about hazards.  One of the hazards is emotional safety.  Emotional safety is like getting bullied.  Some one could tease you or name call you or do physical harm to you. To keep safe from being bullied what you could do is stay near a teacher, or you could run away, or you could just ignore them and don't listen to what they say. It's important to learn about these hazards at school so you can keep safe.

L.P Goal (Learner Profile Goal)

Hi Again. We have been introduced to a new thing in class called your Learner Profile Goal. They're one of the most important things to learn at school. The names of them are Being a Questioner, Being Organised, Having Pride in my Achievments, Using my Intiative, Being an Active Listener, Having Responsibility for Self and Aware of Others, and Being a Problem solver.  My one is being organised.  I think that I can achieve this by cleaning my out my desk, keep my pencils sharp and ready to go, and put all of my pens, pencils, rubbers and that stuff in a pencil case and keep it there.  If I do this I reckon that I will pass the goal so that is what I am going to do.

Young Leaders Dunedin

On 29th of May 20911 we went to Dunedin for young leaders. It was a 3 hour bus drive to Dunedin . The first thing we did was go striaght to the theatre for the main point. When we walked in there was Charlie, who is one of the Whatnow hosts and some other random girl were the presenters of young leaders. We had lots of people come in to talk about what a leader was. There was Alison Shanks, Allison Mooney, Adam Hall, Pat Buckley, And DAVE. My favourite person was DAVE because he had really good humour. After that we all went to the art gallery and had an art session. What we had to do was think of 5 things that represents us. Then we had to draw them on a piece of paper. Each of them had to be bigger than your hand so you had to do lots of over lapping with the objects. Then we went over it with Indian ink. We used Indian ink instead of normal ink because it drys fast and you can smudge it in to make it look really cool. Then with yellow dye we went over the ink to give it a bit of glow on the outsides. After that we coulored everything in with dye and pastel. Then we were done. After that we went to the museum. We played in discovery world for half an hour. discovery world was really cool. There was really awesome contraptions in there. What you had to do for my favourite one was you had a giant cannon shaped thing that works like a hair dryer and you have to blow this inflatible ball though three hoops. It was really hard. Then we had pizza for tea and brownie and biscuits for pudding and then went to bed. In the morning we got up and did an activity in one of the gallarys. In the gallery there were lots of carvings of people. There was also four of these big tall wooden carvings with around 3 people on each of them. Some of the people on the carvings were holding a lizard in their hand. We found out that it meant that they had died from something. After that we looked at all of these wooden instruments that had been carved. They all made really cool noises. After that we left the museum and went to moana pool for a swim. It was really awesome fun. Then we had lunch. It was really yum. We had an orange drink thing, an apple, and a really yum big bun with chicken, cheese, lettuce, and more yum fillings. After lunch we left for home. I had an awesome time and i was sad to go but i was excited to get home aswell.
