LI: To find out about the leaders we admire.
Our task was to find a leader we admire. These leaders could be a prime minister, a sport captain and many more. The leader that I admire is Jonah Lomu. I admire Jonah Lomu because he didn’t have a great background because Jonah Lomu came to New Zealand as a kid and got into Wesley College. He grew up and trialed for the All Blacks. He got into the All Blacks and he made a name for himself. I think Jonah Lomu is the best rugby player to ever touch a rugby ball.
I enjoyed this activity because I found my leader that I admire.
LI: To create goals to achieve at the end of the year.
Our activity today was to create a vision board. A vision board are goals you want to achieve at the end of the year. In my vison I put that I want to be like Rieko Ioane. If I want to be Rieko Ioane I need to be fit, hardworking, fast, a ball player, I need to have perseverance when I’m playing rugby. I also want to get into the Auckland Grammar first fifteen rugby team. I also want to do cultural dances and join the Samoan group and perform at Polyfest. Lastly I want to win the Dux Award at Panmure Bridge School to end my year 8 year positivly.

Kawa of care,
Being Cybersmart
Smart Media,

LI: To be cybersmart around our chrombooks
The whole reason that the Kawa of Care even exists, and your school and your whānau work together is that so you can use a netbook for your learning. Learning is a big part every school and keeping your netbook safe can help you keep your learning up to date. One of the most important rules is to keep foods and drinks away from your chromebook. This will break your netbook if you spill a drink or drop crums in between your keyboard.
