Inspirational Leader

Recently, We had been studying Inspirational Leaders. We had to think of an inspirational leader and gather some information about them. I chose Abraham Lincoln, because I believe that he is an amazing leader and he changed the world. After deciding that I wanted to research about Abraham Lincoln, I then created a Google Slide that has a short paragraph with some information about him on it. The following Slide deck is the information that I gathered about Abraham Lincoln.

Quick Write ; The Magic Globe

A few days ago, Room 11 had done a quick write named 'The Magic Globe'. The photo was of two young boys staring at a magical, glowing globe. If you don't know what a Quick Write is, It is when our teacher shows us an image on the T.V and we have to interpret what we think the image is. It doesn't have to be long at all, just a short paragraph, but some of us like to add a lot of extra writing. This following image is my quick write about The Magic Globe!

Holes Character Profile

Have you ever seen the movie, or read the book 'Holes'? If you haven't, you really should! It is really entertaining and worth the watch. Last term, Our class read the book holes, and at the end of the term, we watched the movie and had a shared lunch. It is actually amazing how the book is just like the movie. After finishing the book and the movie, we had to do a character profile on one of the characters from Holes. I chose Khleo Thomas, Also known as Hector Zeroni in the movie. We had to include Information and facts about the the character. I made a presentation that only has two slides.

Here is the presentation

Manaiakalani Ambassador Presenting Day!

This morning, My teacher and I went to the Manaiakalani Ambassadors presentation day. Oh, Did I not mention? This year, I had been selected to become Glen Taylor Schools Manaiakalani Ambassador for 2017. Each term, I go to a few Ambassadors Presenting days. There are 13 Manaiakalani Ambassadors all together from different schools that present, as well as myself. It is really interesting to hear and watch other ambassadors presentation. You can also collect information and ideas from other ambassadors presentations. Today's Presenting day was the third time I had presented in front of different groups of people. It is an amazing opportunity to be a Manaiakalani Ambassador, I have learnt a lot of things while being one! I hope that I can learn even more while being a Manaiakalani Ambassador!

This image is me presenting this morning.

Today, My mum and I came into school for Student Led conference. We both looked at my learning and how I was doing in school. I showed her all of my learning with the use of my chromebook. Here is a photo of us working together.

Dream Team

Today, all of the seniors had gone into the hall to do some activities. We had a visitor from the Dream Team, Mike Hendricksen. He had been a lawyer for 21 years and he explained the importance of being a good leader. We went through a presentation with him and it included quotes and sayings from great leaders, leaders that have worked their way to where they are now. He encouraged us to believe in ourselves and reach for our dreams. We had got a lot of good advice  from him and I can;t wait to see him next year.
