Excellence Blog Post #16 Drum lesson - Can Do

This week at my Drum Lessons I got asked to learn a new song named "Give Me One Reason" by Tracy Chapman and it was a song that I requested to my Drum Teacher and he  thought that it was a pretty good song to learn because there was little to no auto tune since it was quite an old song.

The learner quality that I showed at my Drum lesson was Active Thinking because I suggested a song without any content from anyone which is good to do cause it shows that I can think for myself in the right situation.

I showed leadership in my Drum lesson by helping my teacher with finding out what drum beat we had to use for the introduction.

Excellence Blog Post #15 Peer Mediation - Can Do

This week on my Peer Mediation duty my partner and I walked around most of the school. We also went around the whole of the area beside rooms 1 &2 where know one really goes and we found one problem about someone threw the tennis ball at the hall foyer and it hit someone else and they thought that they threw it straight at them.

The leadership quality that I showed on my Peer Mediation duty was Active Thinking because even though I new that know one really goes by rooms 1&2 I still had the decency to go down there in the free time that we had.

I showed leadership on my duty by thinking out of the box about where to ho and how to sort out the problem that was happening since it wasn't our usual problem that we usually have.

Excellence Blog Post #14 Peer Mediation - Can Do

This week for my Peer Mediation duty I almost completely forgot about it and it was good that my partner told me or  would have never known that I had too. But on our duty we didn't have any problems except for the little ones with the smaller kids with "this person stole the ball" but those didn't really matter because it never went too far.

I showed leadership on my Peer Mediation duty by helping out my partner with a "problem student" who was involved in the problem at the time.

The leadership quality that I showed on my duty was Active Thinking by knowing that I had to help my partner when they couldn't handle the student.

Excellence Blog Post #13 Drum Lessons - Can Do

This week in my Drum lesson my Drum teacher and I were thinking that I could start to learn a new song and at the moment we are still deciding what song we are going to use because it has to has something without a lot of auto tune so we can really hear that there is a Drum beat or not because if there is a lot of auto tune then it can be difficult to see if I can learn it or not.

I showed leadership at my Drum lesson by helping my teacher pick a song and not making him do it by himself.

The leadership quality that I showed at my Drum lesson was Active Thinking because even though it wasn't really my place to step in and help I still did.

Excellence Blog Post #12 Peer Mediation - Can Do

This week when I was on my Peer Mediation duty I was on the very first day of the term so it was a little difficult to get back into doing the duty...but anyway, when I was on my duty I went around the junior sand pit area for a small amount of time and we had one problem when someone apparently stole another person's bucket and by the end of her explaining the problem the person was done with the bucket and gave it back to her.
The learner quality that I showed on my Peer Mediation duty was respect because even though it was quite funny that the person gave the bucket back as soon as she was finished talking, I didn't laugh.
I showed leadership on my Peer Mediation duty by still going around other places even though we had already sorted out a problem.

Excellence Blog Post #11 Drum Lesson- Can Do

The week at my drum lesson I have learn't and finished my whole song. It has taken me about 1 Term to learn this whole song and my Drum Teacher says that I am the only person that has learn't a song this entire year.

The learner quality that I showed at my Drum lesson was being goal focused by knowing to keep practicing and cleaning up the song even though I had finished it.

I showed leadership by knowing that even though in some parts It took me a very long time to get the beat correct I still keep trying to learn it.
