CARE Progress in Term 3 Week 7

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: Bus because: There are many opportunities to get bus ticks every Tuesday when we go technology.

The one area of CARE that I need to work harder in is: Assembly because: I have hardly any ticks in that area.

To show my leadership qualities I am a role model to others in the CARE values by doing/showing these leadership traits: Integrity, Goal Focused, Trustworthy, Resilient, Active Thinker, Motivational

On the CARE SOLO matrix below I am at this SOLO level: Relational

because: I can use them without having to be told to.

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.

WALT: Reason with linear proportions

WALT: Combine simple proportions to work out what parts the whole is made up in a unit We learnt how to calculate percentage increase and decrease. If you want to calculate percentage increase, you have to find the percentage difference between the two numbers you are comparing and divide the difference by the original number and then times it by 100 and convert that decimal into a percentage. For example: What is the percent of decrease of 16 to 14? The way you would solve this is find the difference between the original number and the new one. 16 - 14 = 2. Divide 2 by 16 which equals 0.125. Multiply that by 100 and it equals 12.5%, So its a 12.5% decrease. WALT: Combine proportions to work out what parts are whole is made up of using non multiples of 10. We learnt how to calculate how much the percentage increased or decreased in number. The way I did this was I found the percentage and if it was an increase: added it onto the 100, and if it was a decrease: subtra...

Merit Care Values 2

Technology This Thursday when we went to technology. For this pentad, my group is in the science block. For science we learn about the periodic table and the science process. This week we decided to test how far an egg could drop before it would crack. We had four eggs and went up by 5cm every time an egg survived the drop. 2 of the eggs only went up to 10cm before cracking and the 2 other eggs ended up getting to a meter before cracking. After that we ended up making a bar graph showing our results and the average. The care values I think I showed this week was Active Thinking, as we had to use our brains to make a hypothesis and make us think outside the box for when we started dropping eggs.

Merit Care Values 5

Technology This week on Thursday we had technology and on the penultimate session of science, we had some fun with lego mindstorms, which are robots that you program and do fun things with. We initially started building the lego mindstorms, some people tried to go off by their imagination but Melahkye and I decided to go with an instruction booklet that taught us how to build a basic robot. The building process was pretty easy so we got to programming fairly quickly. We taught our robot how to move in a square so the next challenge would be so it won't go out of the square when moving around. It didn't work that well as there was something wrong with our motor but Natasha and Savannah's worked. I think the care value I showed was Active Thinking as the programming stage was fairly challenging and confusing.
