Getting involved leadership merit post 3

On Friday 8/4/16 at lunch time after I had come back from Te Hapua a few of my friends and I played football behind rm 8 - 11 with the goals as two rubbish bins and the side of the boiler room the game was pretty cool I think there were 2 goals scored after I came to play and it was fun there weren't a lot of people playing football with my friends and I believe it was a pretty close game.


I believe that I showed respect because when someone did something wrong I didn't hassle them because of that mistake they did.

Kapa Haka merit blog post 2

When I arrived at the hall on Friday the 8/3/16 about half the people were already there so we waited for everyone to come before we started doing some songs like hallelujah in Maori and Taitapu with the actions before Mr Brown asked the apprentice group to go back to class so they could do some work on the positions of the performance group for the cultural festival.


I think I showed resilience because I had to leave early so they could work on the performance group.

Peer Mediation Merit blog post 1

On Thursday the 7th of April I had my peer mediation duty, when I got my gear on a little kid came up to me and said that two of their friends had been fighting, so I helped them find one of the people involved in the fight and when we found them Mr Hillary was there so I let him fix the problem. Then Grace and I just walked through the year three area and went to the senior playground. We had a few little problems, there were some people playing in the bushes and people throwing bark at one another. Then we walked around the field with no issues but before the bell rung we had a final problem were a girl had pushed another girl, who then pushed her back and said some mean words. We told them to talk to their teacher about it then we went back to class.

I think I showed active thinking when I was doing Peer mediation because I told the girl and her friend to go tell their teacher about their problem.

My Strengths

The striking strategies I was able to effectively demonstrate during the games we played were playing through the shot (follow through), Wide base/ Good stance, Stand side on and Firm and correct grip on whatever you are batting with. Stronger hand lower down on bat.

The throwing and catching strategies I was able to effectively demonstrate during the games we played were Soft hands for catching.

My Next Steps

To improve my striking of a ball I need to use my feet more because when the balls to low low it is hard to hit but if you step into it you can catch it on the rise now that's a shot.

To Improve my catching and fielding I need to get in line to catch it because otherwise it will go over your head or ten meters in front of you.

The game that I enjoyed the most was Rounders. because I felt that it used all the skills for striking and fielding
