Good Leader Writing

:A Good Leader:

What abilities do you think a good leader needs to have? Confidence, good Judgement,
Understandable, Dependability, and Confidence. Confidence, you know the decisions your
about to make. Judgement, judge carefully to make a difference. Understanding, know fully
what your saying, before you say it.

First, a leader should be confident in the decisions they make before they make those decisions.
Those decisions being made for the team or just for themselves. For example, if your team is a
performing team (that does musicals, music, songs, dances and so on,) and they have been
invited to perform somewhere, then you should let them know. Then decide if you go or not. A
good leader should also discuss the decisions with their team to make sure everyone agrees
with it, and then they can go ahead and make that decision.

Next, another quality a leader needs to have, is good judgement. But what does judgement
mean? Judgement means the ability to make decisions. For example, if you are a judge on a
show like American Idol, The Voice, Britain's Got Talent, and on, then you decide who wins or
did the best performance. A good leader needs to judge carefully. Not to hurt anyone’s feelings,
but to change up their work and edit it to be better. By doing that, they need to judge others work
to make a good difference. 

Then, there’s understanding. In order to be a good leader, you need to understand what your
doing. Why your doing it, and you also need to understand your team, what their doing, and if
it’s the right thing. For example, if a work employee has to take a day off work because someone
is sick, then you need to be able to understand. Understanding meaning know what your doing,
and getting what your other teammates are saying. Or just what’s going on there and then. Then
if there is a situation to fix, then you can fix it as a leader, for your team.

In conclusion, confidence, good judgement, and understanding is what all leads to a great leader!
Confidence, you know the decisions your about to make. Judgement, judge carefully to make a
difference. Understanding, know fully what your saying, before you say it. These are just the
things I think a leader should have in order to be a great leader! There are a lot of good qualities
that any leader can have. These are just some I think would be right for a great, amazing,
awesome leader! Are you thinking about becoming a leader now? Or being better with
those qualities?

Task Description:
For this task we had to explain/write about what we did for our first microscope project of Term 4. Here is a link to my Buddy's Blog post: Tha Zin's Blog!

Te Reo Maori- Should Be Compulsory?

  Te Reo Maori- Should be compulsory?

What do you think about Te Reo Maori? If you go to school, do you learn
it there, and if you do, do you enjoy it? Te Reo Maori is another language in
New Zealand. At my School, we do learn it. We have a Maori teacher, and
we have Maori lessons.

It is important to learn new things, especially things related to your country.
It is also quite cool to know things that you can teach to others as well. For
example, if you know something that your friend doesn’t know about Te Reo
Maori, then you can talk to them and teach or tell them about Te Reo
Maori, and then they will know/learn something new about that language.

If you are a little kid, or you have a little kid, and they go to school and learn
Te Reo Maori, then they will know more about it as they grow up, or when
they are much older. If you are learning Te Reo Maori, and you want to get
better at it, then practice, and help from others, makes perfect! For
example, if you learn a new sport, or song, or language, then you will
know more about that, and be able to tell others about it, and teach them
when they are older.

If you know more than one language, then good on you! Knowing Te Reo
Maori and maybe another language, is being bilingual, and that’s pretty cool!
Te Reo Maori is a very cool/important language, and learning it is pretty
great! Knowing another language, means that you can teach other people
as well (as said/wroten down in the other paragraph.)

In conclusion, I still agree on what I wrote. But it’s very exciting to learn,
It teaches kids a lot of different and new things, when/if you learn it then you
can teach a whole bunch of others, and it is important to learn. If you just
read this whole piece of writing, then thank you!

Meet The Kakapo Reading Task

Task Description:
This task was done, and connects with the latest/last post which was the information web. This was the Reading task that our reading group had to complete.

Cross Country

Yesterday Pt England school had Cross Country. It started at 1:00, and went from year 1-8's (Like every year.) It went in an unusual order this year though. I know quite a lot of people who weren't very excited for cross country, but I also knew some other people that were very excited, so it was very mixed.

The time before cross country for each class was spent in home class. We got changed into our house colour clothes at 2:15, and I noticed most of the year 8's dressing up fully for their last year at Pt England. Then we all had morning tea, and an early lunch. Then, it was time for cross country. Everyone was getting ready, talking, putting sun screen on, everyone at the water station was setting up, and (Even though most of us had sun screen on on,) burning in the heat.

We all made it to the end, and for the best part, was the water after the run. By the way, as you might know I am a year 7, and so the year 7 and 8's had to fun 2 laps. So it was pretty tiring and hard, but every single year 7 and 8 that came and did it, made it, and most people did their best. I enjoyed doing cross country with one of my friends, she was very engorging towards everyone that passed us, and we finished it together.

After everyone got back from the year 7's, the year 8's were off to go for their turn, and me and my friends talked and watched the others run the run, and do their thing. After all of the year 8's made it to the finish line, we all went to our teachers and went back to class, and then home from there. Thanks for reading, and have a nice day!
