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:

• That Patsy Reddy is the Governor-general
• That Andrew Little is the leader of the opposition
• John Key has been kicked out of parliament by the speaker

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

Student Led Conference Reflection

The things I enjoyed most about my SLC were sharing my writing asttle because I got good scores in my writing test.

What went well and why? Explaining what the asttle scores meant because I said how many numbers had to be next to the goal to sign it off on national standard and that you have to get a certain overall score to sign anything off.

What were the challenges you faced when preparing and presenting your SLC? I was challenged by when I was putting my SLC slide together by trying to find all the things I needed to link.

What changes would you make for next time and why? Write some side notes

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 resilient, goal focused, trustworthy, integrity, active thinker and motivational.

The leadership trait that I think I show the most is goal focused because I get the job done and don't just talk to my friends when I have a duty on.

The leadership trait I would most like to develop is motivational because I would like to motivate others to build a positive attitude as they motivate me too.

Something NEW I have learned about leadership is that a leader is someone who motivates teams/individuals to achieve a goal.

The SOLO level that I reached during this unit of learning is extended abstract because I can evaluate the traits of a good leader.

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