Classroom+Activities

= =    Peer Meditation: In term 1 I did peer mediation. Peer mediation is when you walk around the school during lunch break and fruit break. I solved a few problems. It was fun when you were solving a problem, but it was a bit boring when you were just walking around the school.

PMP helpers (perceptual motor program): PMP helpers are four grade six students who go down to help the preps during PMP. I enjoyed helping out. The preps are really cute as well.

Student Government: I am not a student government leader, but everyone in grade six is in a committee. I am in the Sports and Health committee. The committee leaders are Taylah Giddings and Aaron Boem. An idea that committee has come up with is tail tag. I really enjoy the committee and I can’t wait till we start doing things. YCDI awards: This year I have gotten two You Can Do It awards. My first one was for helping some preps and grade one’s with a bat tennis game because they were having some disagreements and getting upset (getting along). My second award was for persisting with a skipping trick with Maddy and to keep practising until we got it right (persistence). I got nominated for an award but I didn’t get the award. I was nominated by the teacher because I was keeping up to date with my reading and handing my diary in on time.

Canteen helpers: This year some of the grade sixes can choose to help in the canteen. I thought that it would be fun to help out. Some of the things that I’ve helped out with the canteen this year are, serving at the window during lunch, helping prepare things to serve at the window and also helping to make mouse for special lunch order days. Buddies: This year we have been doing buddies with the preps. I have two buddies. Their names are Kaleb and Jackson. The first task that we did with them was making a bunny hat for the Easter Hat Parade. It was kind of funny looking at the final piece. The second task that we did with them was tracing their hands to stick onto their class wreath for the ANZAC Day ceremony. Our third task was to make a teddy bear with them by colouring in the front and the back of a teddy and them staple them together and stuff them with paper. The forth thing we did was to help them plant some plants in the hot house.

Gardening: This year Dom has worked hard to get the hot house up and running. Most kids in the school have been able to help out by doing some planting. The grade sixes have done most of the work (a part from Dom), by flipping the soil to mix it and doing most of the planting. It was really fun working up in the hot house and I can’t wait till we get to pick them.
