Peer mediation

On Wednesday I had peer mediation with Savannah. We got our lan yards, high vis and iPad and went to the junior area first. Once we got their we had juniors come up to us and say hi we let them talk to us for a little bit then they went off to play, then saw a little girl get pushed over (she was playing a game) so we took her to a duty teacher to get sorted. Then we left to go to the left side of the field to walk around and keep an eye out, we had more juniors come up to us and they talk to us then the bell rang and they ran to their classes and we started to head back to class to line up. 


The learner qualities/care values I used are:

PE- fielding and striking reflection

WALT: Apply Striking and Fielding activities in a range of sports and activities.

My Strengths Standing side on and having a good grip on the racket.

The striking strategies I was able to effectively demonstrate during the games we played were have a good grip and follow through a little bit.

The throwing and catching strategies I was able to effectively demonstrate during the games we played were watching the ball to where it went and followed through.

My Next Steps are to be more forward and be more involved physical.

To improve my striking of a ball I need to watch the ball coming towards me because the I can aim better.


To Improve my catching and fielding I need to watch the ball and cup my hands because then I'll be ready to catch the ball.


The game that I enjoyed the most was rounders because I got a go at fielding and striking all at one go.

We researched on if the flag should be changed or not and all the perspectives, then we had to put the research in categories e.g. common knowledge, expert opinion, personal opinion etc..

Once we were done we had an overall, I think I did well because I can explain why the flag shouldn't be changed and vis versa.

Today it was technology, I got to school got my hat and pencil case the bell rang and my bus we all lined up, on the way there I sat with Hannah we talked to each other the only time we talked to someone one else was to politely remind them to be quieter because it was getting louder. Once we arrived we went to foods we did the routine and made Cheese scrolls and mini pancakes, I brought the mini pancakes back to school. We lined up and waited to get on the bus when we got on we didn't talk loud and would remind people politely to be quieter. Then we all headed to class quietly.


The learner qualities I used are:
. Be self aware because when I had to move a sharp knife to the cooking table I was careful around the people walking around me.

Teaching the Yr 0's & 1's fun games

Today Hannah and I were lucky enough to teach the little kids some games we used to play when we were their age, we played heads down thumbs up, duck duck goose, Simon says and sleeping lions. We got two groups with three kids each rotation.

For the first group the kids were so excited to be playing with the us, they couldn't stop giggling and wanting to tell us what they did that day, we asked if they wanted to play the games we had in mind and they all happily agreed. The first game we played was Simon says and you could tell they were enjoying it, then we played duck duck goose, then heads down thumbs up, then finally we played sleeping lions to calm them down.


For our second group we played everything in the same order, because the order worked out well. They were like the first group excited to play with us and couldn't stop giggling, they played all the games really well when we went back and they were sad that we had to go.

We had heaps of fun and were happy the little kids did too.

What I did: I helped weed, chop, stomp and wheel barrow the weeds to the trailer.

Why: Because we needed to get all the weeds and needed to clear it out so we can to plant more.

Where: Behind room 12/13 in front of the chickens and behind room 14/15/16/17/18/19 (maize maze) where the corn is being planted.

When: the 2nd all day and the 3rd all day.

How I felt about it: I liked working with the Juniors because it's fun and I enjoy it. I didn't like the food forest that much because of the dirt always getting in my eye but it needed to be done.


This is the Maize maze where the corn was.
