Here is Tamara and I helping out in Peer Mediation

This is us being Peer Mediators

Leadership

Last Thursday I had Peer Mediation with Sophie and Iona. An example of a problem we solved was with two little boys who wanted to play a game with each other. 

One boy (boy 1) wanted to play tag and the other boy (boy 2) wanted to play soccer. Boy 1 said that soccer was for stupid people. Boy 2 then started shouting and ran away. 

We helped by gathering them both up and let them 1 by 1 tell their own story of what happened. After that we asked if they were friends and they both said yes. We all came up with a soulation was that every 5 minutes they would play the other game.

Writing-My parody

I was just sitting there having a cup of tea on a usual Sunday afternoon. Then I looked out of my bubble home and to my surprise standing there was a massive wolf.
"AHHH" I yelled and galloped to my brothers house. When I arrived he was very confused and I tried to explain but words weren't coming out of my mouth. Finally I did spoke and I said "at least we will be safe in you brick home".        

M goal was vocabulary. I showed vocabulary it the blue parts.
I think that I'm at Relational because I can pick good words to use but I can't work with very much feedback.

Leadership Peer Mediation

Today I was being a Peer Mediator at lunch. This was one of the problems: One boy got a ball from his class room then a another boy took his ball. He got really mad and started yelling and screaming at the other boy. The other boy got really sad and got me, the peer mediator.
