CARR values

Today we were told to define the values at our school (commitment, achievement, resilience, respect) and write it in our own words, here are my definitions.

 Commitment:

Being learning ready, punctual (on time), prepared (having the right equipment), and positive (good attitude).

Achievement:

Completing tasks to the best of your ability, aiming high and not comparing yourself to other people.

Resilience:

Having confidence to try, and not giving up if things get hard, willing to fail to achieve your goals.

Respect:

Respecting people, property, places and beliefs, how you talk to people and how you fix things to lead to a positive future.

 What did this poem make you think about this bully

I think that the bully doesn't seem like a very nice person but at the same time they might have been bullied and might be lonely. I can infer this from the last paragraph

What would I do if I saw this bully

If I saw this person bullying other I would first go up to them and say 'Hi would you like to hang out together', if they said no I would tell a teacher what was happening, if they said yes, I would invite them to sit with me and get to know them and try find out the reason  they were bulling people.

We were also asked to define these words

Assertive - Person who states firmly with authority. 

Passive - Not active, not resisting or fighting. 

Aggressive - Resisting or fighting back against someone .

Boundaries - limitations on where you can go or what you can do .

Conflict - It is where you fight, struggle or disagree with something or someone.

Soundtrack of my life

 This week in Hur 1 my class have been working on making a DLO ( digital learning object) to introduce yourself to the class. We had 4 options, a letter of introduction, my life through photographs, sound track of my life and a digital bio tile, I chose the sound tack of my life. Based on the one we picked we were then told what to do. For the soundtrack of our life we had to choose 4-6 songs that reminded us of someone, an event, a tradition or just something important to us. I chose 4 songs and in my slideshow you will see the reason why I choose that song and if you want to listen to the song click on the photo it will send you to the song. Thank you for reading my blog if you have any suggestions for what I could have done different
