Getting involved (merit evidence, must do)

Get involved

On Friday I had garden to table with the kakano students, my partner was Xanthe and we had 3 little buddy's. Our job was to pull out the radishes for the chickens, when we went outside we went to the radishes and pulled all of them out and then brushed off the dirt. Once we were done with that we put them in a bucket and asked for more jobs, since we were done we went around the junior school and picked up rubbish then headed inside for a book.

Learner qualities I used were:

Resilience, by looking after the kids and kept going when they didn't listen.

Active thinking, by getting a bucket to put the radishes in.

Getting Involved (merit evidence, must do)

Getting involved at lunch.

On Thursday Kyla, Xanthe and I saw the PALs out putting up the soccer nets so we decided to join, we helped put up the nets and get people to join in the game. When we had enough people to play we got numbered off in a team, I was goalie we played until the bell went. We helped packing up, Kyla and I helped put the nets back in the PE shed them went to line up.

CARE values I used:

. Community by helping pack up.

. Communicate by talking with the people on my team.

Run/Bike/Run merit evidence must do

Run/bike/run

On Monday we had RBR, I was in a group with Hannah I was doing both of the runs and Hannah was doing the bike. It took place at Halswell Domain we were walking down there, we had a police officer helping us cross the main road. When we got their we listened to all the rules and had some food, Emily and I helped with the 3 races guiding the bikers to their track, I helped a little girl who hurt her foot by carrying her to aid. Then it was our race I was nervous because my knee was playing up, when it started I ran the lap tagged Hannah to bike she biked the lap tagged me then I ran the 2nd lap and stopped at the base. My knee was pretty sore from the run so I got a ride from Ms. B to school once we got their I got an ice pack then went to assembly.

The learner qualities I used were:

. Be self aware of the other people around me

. Be resilient by finishing the race when I had a sore knee 

Technology/bus merit evidence must do

Technology/bus

Today it was technology, I got to school got my hat and pencil case the bell rang and my bus we all lined up, on the way there I sat with Hannah we talked to each other the only time we talked to someone one else was to politely remind them to be quieter because it was getting louder. Once we arrived we went to foods we did the routine and made Cheese scrolls and mini pancakes, I brought the mini pancakes back to school. We lined up and waited to get on the bus when we got on we didn't talk loud and would remind people politely to be quieter. Then we all headed to class quietly.


The learner qualities I used are:
. Be self aware because when I had to move a sharp knife to the cooking table I was careful around the people walking around me.

. Question because if I wanted to find more about what we were cooking or wasn't sure on what to do I would ask my team or the cooking teacher.

Merit evidence must do Food forest with Mr McAven

What I did: I helped weed, chop, stomp and wheel barrow the weeds to the trailer.

Why: Because we needed to get all the weeds and needed to clear it out so we can to plant more.

Where: Behind room 12/13 in front of the chickens and behind room 14/15/16/17/18/19 (maize maze) where the corn is being planted.

When: the 2nd all day and the 3rd all day.

How I felt about it: I liked working with the Juniors because it's fun and I enjoy it. I didn't like the food forest that much because of the dirt always getting in my eye but it needed to be done.

This is the Maize maze where the corn was.

This is behind room 12/13 where the chickens are.
