Tess Endrey – Year 6

Madrichim Term 3 report 

This term the Madrichim are continuing to work on their videos for assembly. The messages in the videos are from The Leader In Me and Minduflnesss programs. They teach us how to be calm and respectful of others.

During this process we have learnt many things, for example, we have been focusing on making sure our explanations and stories are clear. We want the videos to be interesting and entertaining, but we also want the messages to be understood by the younger children. A summary of our video series is below:

• Respect and Seeking First to Understand: Ethan and Ruby
• Organisation and Putting First Things First: Tess and Aaron
• Be Proactive and Think Before You Speak: Lucy and Zoe
• Mindfulness: Ethan and Jesse
• Feeling Fizzy or Wobbly: Jono and Coby
• Cybersafety: Lucy and Zoe.

We have also been running a table tennis competition for Years 5-6. Last term we ran a competition for Years 3-4 which was very successful and ran very smoothly. The Years 5-6 ping pong competition started with 44 children. Each round is a knock out in order to progress to the next level. The game is one against one and first to score 7 points wins. Thank you to Ethan and Ruby for organising and running this competition.

Another responsibility we have is running assembly every fortnight. We announce each part of the assembly and also prepare News of the Fortnight on current events. This year we have also been involved in running some of the Jewish Life prayers and events. Each Friday we also assist the Jewish Life Leaders as they run Shabbat.

It is an important responsibility to be the Primary Madrichim. We need to be role models for the younger students and lead the school in a way that will help the younger children. We hope that we will be remembered as good leaders.
