Young Leaders Day

NYLD 2012!

On Monday the 28th of May 2012, some of the year 7 and 8s had the opportunity to attend national young leaders day. The event was placed at the Michael Fowler centre. there were 5 speakers talking about being the bast we can be and sparking our potential as a leader. The first speaker was Nick Tuatasi. He spoke about Sparking your undiscovered ability. ‘SPARK’ stands for S-Shaken, P-Pushed, A-Anger, R-Risk and K-Kick start. 

The second speaker was Jamie Fitzgerald. He talked about how him and his friend won a rowing competition by not giving up and walking across Antarctica. That is why he is so inspiring. She said to believe in your self and others will to. He said never let performance get in the way of safety 

The nest person to speak was Cassandra Treadwell. she talked about the homeless people in Kenya and how people said that she couldn’t make a Charity with 4 kids but she did and is currently building a school in Kenya. She said to believe in your self and others will to.

Cam Calkoen was the nest speaker and he had a disability called cerebal palsey. he was talking about how he loves sport and has competed for our country in sports.

His favourite word was awesome and he said: ‘dream big and achieve more.’

The last speaker was called Dave Atkinson. He was my favourite person of the day. He said that you become the people you hang out with so choose good friends and stick up for what is right. You don’t need to try and be like your friends so choose wisely. 

Young leaders day was very inspirational and I had a fun day. It was defiantly worth going.

Term 2 Goals(:

Term 3 Goals(:

Literacy- For my literacy I need to improve my spelling. I will do this by revising them everyday at home for homework to try and get 10/10 at the end of the week for testing.

Maths- For maths I need to work on getting faster with my basic facts test and try and get over 70/100 every time. I will do this by going on to Mathletics after school 4 times a week.

General- I need to improve on not fiddling on the mat and try to concentrate more. I will do this by not having anything to fiddle with and not sitting by anyone that will distract me.

My biography on a class member- Kees

He has two sisters, one nine year old called Bella and a thirty year old sister called Jazz who is married. When he was born he lived in Auckland for about six months with his Mum, Dad and older sister. They moved to Hamilton for two months, then to Khandalla for four months and then to Eastbourne where they live now.

When Kees was two, he went to a preschool in Lower Hutt. When he moved to Eastbourne he started going to Banardos. This was when he was three. Kees has been attending Muritai School ever since he first started and is still there now.

Ever since Kees was young, he has been interested in cars and planes and has always wanted to be a pilot. His dad works as an accountant and owns a business in the Eastbourne village called Edward Cristian.Co. 

When Kees was little one of the significant moments that he had was when he stuck his hand in the fire place on his first birthday.

One of Kees’s proudest moments was when he won the high jump 4 years in a row andalso when he scored the most goals in soccer for the season in his team. Kees is a sporty, athletic and competitive person. Some of the sports he plays are: cricket, rugby and soccer and although he is athletic, he has never broken a bone in his body. He plays two musical instruments: drums and a little bit of guitar. Kees is into Drum/Bass music and likes a band called ‘Skilliex.

In conclusion, Kees is a sporty, fun and athletic person. His favourite food is pie. His goal in life is to be a pilot because he was inspired by a man who landed a plane in the New York harbor and would now love to be a pilot himself.
