Legacy Writing 2017

Working hard, setting a goal. Crossing that line of success is what I'm about.

Rico is a fantastic leader because he makes mature decisions and he always uses respectful language to people. He makes sure everyone is included in games He also helps people if they get stuck on something they're not sure of. Rico self-managed on the polyfest night, by making sure he was there on time and looking after costumes. He took a risk and performed with pride.

A goal Rico achieved this year is being able to show leadership to younger students, and how he can be trustworthy. Another goal Rico achieved was being able to self-manage out of school and in school

Rico’s next steps are to gain more confidence so he is not shy in sharing his learning!, He is also working really hard to sit with the right people when he is working, and making sure he finishes his work on time.

Athletics learning story 2017

Athletics this year, Everyone use to be scared of athletics but this year people came ready like real athletes

I came first in four events the events I was good at was, High jump, Long distance, sprints, and vortex.

In high jump, I managed to make it over the cluster standard by following Mrs.Whiting’s advice which was lift your arms up high when you’re gonna jump and to lift your bottom up so it doesn’t touch the pole. I also told myself I could do it and I visualized myself jumping over the pole.

In long distance, I was good at keeping my pace and taking long steps. Tawhiri gave me some helpful advice and told me to go to the first line to my right so I would have less time to go around corners. I also stayed in front of people so they couldn’t go past me and if they tried to go around I moved with them.

 

In sprints, I got better at keeping my head up. I also put people off by waving to them. It was really challenging because I went up against the fastest people in the school!, But I just kept my head up and kept sprinting.

I was good at vortex by throwing a bit high but not to low. Vortex was kinda hard because there were heaps of strong people that could throw far and the cluster standard was kind of far. So I took a big step and threw it hard and high, by doing that I made it to the cluster standard

My next steps are to not be scared of my events and just do it and to keep listening out for helpful advice
