GRIP Leadership

Hi!

On Wednesday the 10th of April the year 7s and I went to GRIP Leadership.

Luckily I am a year 7 this year because only the year 7s at our school could go.

Myself and lots of other year 7s expected it to be boring and they would just be talking the whole time.

Little did we know that it was not going to be like that.

On the way in there was a cafe and a hairdressing place.

We had to take a turn and go into a big room.

We went and sat down in the middle block of seats at the very back.

First they explained about a little booklet that we all had and it was what we would be using.

First we learnt about the first step in the leadership pathway where we had to write a bit then we had to go meet other leaders in the room.

Then we met the 'Loud Noise Boys' that were not very loud but they got us to be loud.

We played a game where 4 people went on stage in teams of 2 so there were 2 teams.

One person got blindfolded and the other person had to think of a one word hint to give the other person about a certain word.

We learnt about the 4 core traits of leadership.

We learnt about lots of things that will make us better leaders to our school.

The 4 core traits of leadership are Empathy, Reliability, Confidence with humility and Others Focused.

There was one game that Grace got to be in where they had to say if a topic to help was good or bad or as they said it "Hot or Not".

Sadly, Grace got the second to last question wrong and had to sit back down.

We were really lucky to be able to go and we would definitely go again.

I found it really fun and it seemed like a concert.

I'm glad we got out of our comfort zones and talked to new people.

Mrs Spragg also brought us a badge each.

My one is blue and pink and it says something about leadership.

Feel free to comment on our day.

Also did you go there?

Bye!
