Peer Mediation merit blog post 1

Last Week I had peer mediation with Jacob. First we walked around the junior area, then we walked around the field we also had a walk at the senior playground but we didn't have problems that day.

The leaner quality I showed was resilience because I walked around the school even though there were no problems.

I can read and interpret a range of graphs

For maths I have been learning to read and interpret a range of graphs. This relates to the National Standards as it meets the criteria of
  • I can compare distributions visually (Year ⅞ Standard)


Here is link to my Statistical Literacy spreadsheet Link which shows all of the graphs and tables I can read and interpret.


I have also compared and contrasted some of the graphs. Below are the links to them


My next step is to use these in my leadership investigation next term.

I can use appropriate skills and technologies to find and use a range of texts for specific purposes.

Year ⅞ -  I can use appropriate skills and technologies to find and use a range of texts for specific purposes.

For my “Evaluating Leaders” research I have been researching about Mother Teresa and Irene Van Dyk.


During this unit I have had to use a range of strategies to find the information I needed on Google. This include:Reference, cross checking, using tool bars.

I have achieved this goal because I used tools to help me find information I need.
My next step is to set a new reading goal.

Maths Convert between percents, fractions and decimals

WALT-Convert between percents, fractions and decimals

an example of my goal is How do you write 170% as a fraction or mixed number in simplest form?.

My next step is statistics.
