leadership meeting blog post 3

during our leadership meeting today we learnt ten ways a school leader can contribute to your school . We also started planning what we are going to do to contribute to Oaklands. Maddy and I have finished our plan, all we have to do now is run it by the teachers then our plan is confirmed. This plan will take place in term 2 or 3.

leadership meeting merit blog post 2

Today we had a leadership meeting. Mr Ladbrook was away so Mrs McLeod filled in. We practiced our public speaking. first we did it with a partner, then in groups of four. In the group of four we had a poem, we all got parts to say in front of the other leaders and then we got feedback from them so we could improve.

wearing my hat at lunch Merit blog post 1

Today when the year 7/8 hub got back from technology we had to quickly put our bags in the class, grab what we need and go outside. After I ate my food under the shade I put my hat on and ran onto the field. when the year 3's ran past they put their hat on because they saw my friends and I wearing ours. I showed active thinking by role modeling my hat without being asked
