Something I have learned about the structure of short stories is:That the short stories are like long storys but the short stories have more information and are better.

Term 1 Integrated Learning

We have been learning all about What makes a good leader.

Here is a link to the Modelling Book

We identified that good leaders show 6 main character traits. These are:

Integrity	Goal Focused
Trustworthy	Active Thinker
Resilient	Motivational

The leadership trait that I think I show the most is:Goal Focused because when I start my work I what to get it done.

The leadership trait I would most like to develop is:Motivational because I like helping people and if I help someone then they can go help someone that needs help.

Something NEW I have learned about leadership is:Helping people can go a long way.

The SOLO level that I reached during this unit of learning is:I can compare and contrast the traits of different leaders i think this because i know the definitions of all the trait

Know relevant size and place valves

My Strengths

The throwing and catching strategies I was able to effectively demonstrate during the games we played were Cup your hands or reverse cup as early as possible and Keep your eye on the ball. Watch the ball all the way into your hands. Watch the ball all the way to its target.

My Next Steps

To improve my striking of a ball I need to Play through the shot - follow through

because To get more power in the shot.

To Improve my catching and fielding I need to I need to step forward when throwing the ball because Helps to get maximum power out of our throw. Helps you to get your body into the correct position for greater accuracy.

Jennifer Bricker was a child born with no legs.  She was found in a hospital up for adoption as a result of being abandoned by her real family.
That is when she was found by the Bricker family. The Bricker family had three boys and was happy they now had a baby girl.
When she was 7 years old she went on the tramp with her dad. After some goes she did a backflip .  From age 7 she was dominating tumbling  all because that one rule never say "I CAN'T ".
As well as being a champion she was also dominating in other sports eg Basketball and Baseball
You would think a person with no legs could do nothing well think again.
Jennifer was dominating all kind of things.
At the age of 16  out of  nowhere Jennifer asked her mother what her last name was.
She said that her last name would  have been Moceanu.
She knew what that meant that  Dominique Moceanu, the world champion tumbler, was her biological sister.

It all happened because that one rule "NEVER SAY I CAN'T".
