Excellence Evidence Librarian 10

Librarian

On Monday I had Librarian with Samantha L, Samantha W, Monique, Xanthe and Isabella.

First we went to the library and got a few books and a couple of bean bags. Once we had got these we walked down to the junior area.

When we got there Samantha W, Monique and Xanthe sat down on the deck while the rest of us went around asking little kids if they wanted to listen to a story. We found a few little kids so we directed them over to the deck.

When everyone was there Samantha W started reading. She was reading a Barbie book. All the little kids were really respectful and everyone enjoyed the story.

When we were done we returned the books and bean bags to the library and went out to lunch. (What I did).

I showed Respect by listening to the reader.

I showed leadership by role modelling what I wanted others to do.

On Monday I had Librarian with Samantha L, Samantha W, Monique, Xanthe and Isabella.

First we went and got 2 books that were both about Barbie. Next we grabbed the beanbags and headed down to the junior area deck.

When we arrived we asked some little kids if they want to read a book. The people that usually come came as well. 

Then Samantha W and Samantha L started reading. Samantha W went first and read one of the Barbie books. We had little kids sitting on our laps.

I showed Respect by listening to the reader.

I showed leadership by being a role model.

I found it interesting how the English and Maori treaty's mean different things.

I would like to find out more about how the treaty is still used today.

Te Reo, Term 4 2016

Te Reo

Blog Post Title : Te Reo, Term 4 2016.

This term we have been learning all about the Marae. We have learned that…….

• The Marae is an important focal point for the community.
• The Marae is a place where tradition and customs can be carried out.
• The Marae is a place where people can express their values with dignity.
• There are many kawa ( protocols) that prevail on the marae.
• Marae kawa (protocols) can differ between maraes and iwi.

We have focused on some key concepts when doing this learning.

These are listed and explained in the table below.

Concept	Definition - give the meaning of these concepts in your own words.
Tikanga	The procedures of a Marae
Pōwhiri	A welcoming ceremony to the Manuhiri
Tangata whenua	Are the local people
Manuhiri	Visitors to a Marae
Tūrangawaewae	A home base on a Marae. It also includes rights and obligations
Whanaungatanga	A relationship/belonging
Manaakitanga	Care and respect for other people
Aroha	Love

See this video for an explanation of the roles and responsibilities of people on a marae.

Something I would like to learn more about the marae is how you can go visit one.

Parliament

This term we have been learning about Parliament. We have looked at the difference between government and parliament, NZ parliament, who is in government, how our government works and we compared democracy to dictatorship.

Three things that I learned are NZ parliament are:

• The prime minister sits 4 seats to the right of the speaker
• There are different parties in parliament
• The difference between democracy and dictatorship 

Here is the link to my compare and contrast map explaining the difference between democracy and dictatorship

C.A.R.E: My progress so far

The CARE award that I am working towards is Gold.

The one area of CARE that I am doing best in is Excellence because I only need 3 more highlights till I've got everything highlighted off in that column.

The one area of CARE that I need to work harder in is Community because I have the least amount of highlights in the column.

To show my leadership qualities I am a role model to others in the CARE values by doing/showing these leadership traits: Integrity, resilience, active thinker, trustworthy, goal focused and motivational.

On the CARE SOLO matrix below I am Extended Abstract because I can show the CARE values independently.

Prestructural	Unistructural	Multistructural	Relational	Extended Abstract
I am not aware of the CARE values yet.	I know what the CARE values mean. I need help to use them.	I can use the CARE values. I need reminding to use them.	I can use the CARE values independently.	I can use the CARE values independently. I can role model to others how to use the CARE values.
