Young Leaders Day 2011

On the 24 of May 8 pupils (House Leaders) from Lytton Street School drove to Young Leaders day in Palmerston North at the Regent Theatre

Jack: My favourite speaker was Alison Mooney because it gave me more information about who I was eg. my personality type. She explained the story about a lion, otter, beaver and a golden Retriever. Then Alison gave us phrases, we chose the phrase that represented us the most. My animal was a bit of them all. Sometimes I want to be the lion and get everything done and sometimes I feel like studying so I am a beaver. I like to have fun with everything I do so that makes me a otter and I am a great listener like the golden retriever. I loved listening to all the speakers they had to offer. I really enjoyed going to Young Leaders. It was great



Kaea: My favorite speaker was Nick Tuitasi because he said a lot of good rules to help you in life. I think all of the other speakers were very helpful and gave a lot of advice of being a leader. I was a bit sad because 3 people were not able to come and they were John Key, Brook Fraser, and Jason Gunn. When we were playing games I got chosen to go on the stage and do a fitness contest that was called a beep test and I came third. It was lots of fun.



Riley: My favourite thing was when all the speakers said something about what they have been through in their life, for example Pat Buckley because he had so much disappointment in his young life, it was quite hard just listening to him. Also my favourite speaker was Dave Atkinson because he still taught us all of the stuff he was meant to but in a funny way and that drew me in.

Visualising in Reading

This term our reading focus is Visualising. Visualising is when you paint a picture in your mind of what you are reading to help with understanding the story.
We have been doing fun reading activities like the picture quilts from The BFG and the chapter - The Big Plan

After listening to the The Fly-away Umbrella we drew a picture of something that created a picture in our heads.

As a whole class we drew a story map from The Fly-away Umbrella using pictures and words. In our groups we then drew story maps of the current book we have been reading.
