Merit must do #1

On Tuesday I went to technology I am in design and Sophie and I made phone cases with the 3D printer. They both didn't work out as well as we thought they would so we moved on to complete our other projects. I made a phone holder instead with a charger hole. I used the learner quality of active thinker by answering lots of questions and winning the kahoot by listening to the things the teachers say.

I can take action to improve the water cycle in Canterbury

In this project I was working with anneke, Savannah and the two Charlotte's and we decided to create a 30 second ad.

Here is a link what we made.

In this project we decided that our success criteria were: 

A good TV ad needs...	Why is this important?
It need’s to have Humor	So people don’t get bored and change the channel
Cachty	It need’s to be catchy so people like the product (e.g It’s a pillow it’s a pet it’s a pillow pet!!!!!)
Metaphor and similes to get your point across	To make the idea to sound more bigger
Audio and video must match up	So that people don't think there is something wrong with the interweb
A bold main statement	So that people instantly know what you are trying to get across

Overall our project met/do not meet this criteria because...

Parliament

Parliament

This term we have been learning about Parliament. We have looked at the difference between government and parliament, NZ parliament, who is in government, how our government works and we compared democracy to dictatorship.

Three things that I learned are NZ parliament are:

• The prime minister John Key sits in the fourth seat to the right .
• When you are addressing the speaker in the chamber you have to call him Mr speaker.
• There are 121 seats in the chamber at parliament including the speakers chair.

Here is the link to my compare and contrast map explaining the difference between democracy and dictatorship.

Koru Games

The activity I did was Netball
My highlights of the Koru Games are when our team tried our best and ended up coming 6th out of 32 teams. My other highlight is the delicious food there, there was hot chips and cold drinks.
I am proud of actually making it to the Koru Games and playing against those amazing teams.
I want to do the same sport and hopefully make it further than 6th next year, Because the environment at the netball courts were great and all the teams there were very kind when they lost and when they won.

Merit can do #10

Today I was a physical activity leader PAL for short, with the help of anneke and we played with the moon hoppers. some of the boys were being silly so we asked them to leave politely. While I was doing this I showed the learner quality of resilient by being patient with those boys and I did not give up.

CARE values

CARE: My progress so far

The CARE award that I am working towards is: Silver

The one area of CARE that I am doing best in is: Respect because: most of my highlighted areas are in Respect.

The one area of CARE that I need to work harder in is: Excellence because: least of my highlighted areas are in Excellence.

To show my leadership qualities I am a role model to others in the CARE values by doing/showing these leadership traits: integrity, trustworthy, resilient, goal focused, active thinker and motivational.

On the CARE SOLO matrix below I am at this SOLO level: Extended Abstract because: I fell that I can display the care values well.

Prestructural	Unistructural	Multistructural	Relational	Extended Abstract
I am not aware of the CARE values yet.	I know what the CARE values mean. I need help to use them.	I can use the CARE values. I need reminding to use them.	I can use the CARE values independently.	I can use the CARE values independently. I can role model to others how to use the CARE values.

W.A.L.T: I can make links across texts by recognising connectives or adverbial clauses

For reading I have been learning about adverbial clauses. I have found this learning a little bit hard but mostly easy because I fell that the activity's were easy because I fell that I knew a lot about the topic

In this activity (link to adverbial clause activity), I had to...do this activity
