To do my CARE award I needed to research a New Zealander with a positive attitude, I chose Steven Adams. He's the first New Zealander to be picked in the first round of the NBA draft, is the highest paid New Zealand athlete of all time and is in the top 100 highest paid athletes in the world. 

Gold Attitude CARE Award Activity: Research the role of the SWIS in our school, and tell others how they help us

For this CARE award activity I needed to research the role of SWiS (Social Workers in Schools), I found out that there are different types of social workers that have different areas of expertise. I also found that social workers are all over the world, helping people with their needs.

Making Room 2's Banner

For last week's school market day, I was asked to create a banner for Room 2. They were selling pencil cases and succulents (Small plants) so I wanted to include those products in the banner. Another thing I wanted to do was include the price, just so that people interested in the items would know how much they were. Although it's a bit simple, I think I did well considering the small amount of time that I had.

Care Award: Silver Excellence & Innovation

For one of my CARE award tasks, I needed to complete the 4 Xtra Maths subjects. For Xtra-Maths you need to answer questions on either addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Completing this was slightly hard, since I'd put the wrong answer every now and then.

CARE Award: Silver Confidence | How To Stand Up To Bullies

This is a DLO on how to stand up to bullies that I made for my confidence CARE award, in it I mention how people can help those who're being bullied, what makes someone a bully, and a non-physical way to deal with them. Bullying might seem like a joke in the playground but it's a real thing, victims of bullying can remain scared of the bully for the rest of their lives.

CARE Award: Silver Confidence | Sleep Survey Responses

This was a task for my confidence CARE award, for it I needed to create a survey on a topical issue so I chose sleep. In my survey I asked questions like how long (On average) people sleep for, if technology (Phones, computers etc) stopped them from sleeping properly, if they liked sleeping and when they usually went to sleep. I used a pie chart for this because although I could've used a bar graph I wanted to see exactly how much of the class chose this or that. Another thing in this DLO is my opinion on the options and reasons why, I answered the survey as well.

CARE Award - Respect | Photo Collage

This task is one of five that I need to do for a CARE award, for it I needed to create a collage out of photos taken this far throughout the year for every subject or activity that happens regularly in school. In this DLO I added Panmure Bridge School's whakatauki, motto, logo and focus (Learn, Create, Share). I used the photos from our shared folder.

[Alex] CARE Award - Respect | Make Dinner For Your Family

This task is one of five that I need to do for a CARE award, for it I needed to make dinner for my family. At first I needed to peel carrots which took around 10 minutes, then I peeled potatoes which took around 10 minutes too, after that I cut both into smaller pieces and placed them into the pot. I then waited for a while so that the vegetables could cook until soft.

CARE Award - Respect | Interview A Person In Uniform

This task is one of five that I need to do for a CARE award, for it I needed to interview someone in uniform. The example for the task was a policeman/woman but since I didn't know where I could find one of them I interviewed the security guard in the Panmure library, I also needed to be careful with my questions because I didn't want to be rude and ask personal questions.

CARE Award - Respect | Researching The Song Respect

Today I completed another task for my respect CARE award, CARE stands for Confidence, Attitude, Respect and Excellence and Innovation. For it I needed to research interesting facts about Aretha Franklin's song Respect. Along the way I found many new and interesting things like for example; the song's been used in the movie Forrest Gump, although I've watched it I never noticed the song.

Silver CARE Award: Researching A Respected Leader

For one of my silver CARE awards (Respect) I needed to research a respected leader, I chose to do Gandhi because he's someone that you associate with peace and sometimes protest. I used websites like Wikipedia which helped me find interesting information about where he grew up, lived and died- I only used a small part of all of it.

Assembly: Samoan Language Week | CARE Award: Silver Confidence

Since this week is Samoan language week, and I'm half Samoan, I was chosen to one of the three assembly presenters. The other two presenters were Junior and Angela, they did the Samoan script and I translated that to English. At one point during the script there was a mess up and, after a few seconds Junior just said what was written down on the script in English in Samoan. This works towards my silver confidence CARE award.
