Excellence Must Do - Get involved, Help around the school and Be a good role model

Today I had Garden To Table. We had to get in partners so me and my friend partnered up. Each partner got assigned a job in the garden and a few kids depending on the jobs we had. Me and my partner got three little kids to help us with our job. Our job was to plant broccoli in patch C. We grabbed our pot of broccoli and headed to patch C. We started by showing the kids how to dig a hole in the soil. It was a bit hard to make sure they made a good size hole but I was resilient and helped them slowly dig the holes. While my partner was helping them dig holes and fill them up I started handing the little squares of the broccoli.

 After all the holes were filled and nicely watered we asked if there were anymore jobs but there weren't anymore left but the teachers let us help some other groups that had finished, pick up rubbish. The kids weren't so happy about the fact that they had to just walk around and pick up rubbish so we made it more fun for them by making it a competition to see who could get the most rubbish.

 I showed leadership by helping the little kids plant the broccoli and by showing the little kids how to plant broccoli properly . Overall it was so much fun and I enjoyed helping the little kids

Merit Must Do - Helping around the school, Being a good role model to Kakano students and Getting involved

Today I helped out my friends and Mrs Ward (School librarian) by reading books to the younger students. Even though it wasn't my duty today I was willing to help out. We picked out a wide selection of different types of picture books and headed off to the junior area. We all sat on some bright bean bags on the deck and waited. After a while we thought maybe the kids might be shy so we headed off to look for some kids that have nothing to do. We managed to round up a few kids and when others saw that there's a group of kids here they came along by them selfs. I was really happy that I got involved with the little kids and helping them get involved too. While reading the books it got a little annoying when some kids starting to wonder off but then u realised that I needed to show my learner quality of being resilient be use sometime little kids are hard to handle but then again we were like them before too and we just need to be resilient and patient. Overall I had a good time reading books down in the junior area and we can't wait to do it again.
