In CAREERS EDUCATION we have been learning to write a skills based Curriculum Vitae.

A skills based C.V. focuses more on the skills that we have,  rather than our work history.

Here is a link to our online Modelling Book that shows the process we have followed.

Three things that I have learned about writing a Curriculum Vitae are:

1. If you don't have correct punctuation they wont interview you

2. They are not as easy as they look

3. That they contact other people to know you better.

At tech i have just recently joined foods it has been great because we get to do the dishes ( i love doing dishes.) And the other good side is the food. So far i have made Biscuits, banana loaf, pinwheel scones, and hot dog traps. To be honest my favorites where the hot dog traps.

I think the care value i showed was respect because i used the equipment with care and packed them up after.

I also think I showed the leadership value trust worthy because when the banana loaf was not cooked I was trusted to cook the tin,wash it and bring it back and i did so.

the way i have shown leadership is by offering to help people and also holding the door for them to walk through. I have done this many times as i'm putting the flag away or grabbing it to put up all of the people who i do it to say thank you and look really happy.
i think the care value i showed was community because i am helping the community.
I also think the leadership trait i showed was active thinker because i wasnt just thinking of myself i was thinking of others.

Since Tuesday 30th May, I have been washing the dishes and keeping the kitchen bench tidy for my family. I have enjoyed doing the dishes. I think I will keep helping my family this way. It is nice to have dad come home happy because it is not messy and untidy every day.

Every week the seniors of Oaklands school go to technology at Lincoln primary. This week my group did foods and we made snag traps they where amazing and so easy to make. all it was, was buttered bread with a sausage, cheese, and sauce on the non buttered side then put all together buy using a tooth pic then put in the oven and then its done. this tasted so yummy!
i think the care value i showed was respect because once i had finished cooking i packed the equipment away. And a leadership trait i showed was goal focused because i listened to the teacher and got the work done

A few weeks ago i went to visit the CCC and it was amazing. we got to walk around Christchurch and do some activity's with the people that work at the CCC. The first activity we did was go with one of the people into there office space and learn about their job i went with a guy who focuses on the waterways, i learnt that eels are fish. next we  organised an event  and we had a budget to spend on it. Another thing we did was go into the council chambers. And after all of that Mr Ladbrook took all of us out to lunch it was delicious.
i think i showed all of the care values because i used my manners and was polite to the people in the community.
I also showed the leadership trait trustworthy because i was trusted to be a good role moddel and i was.

For this home learning challenge i am doing E9 and that is: research a person/event from New Zealands history and present your findings. i research sir Edmond Hillary and here is my findings.

Sir Edmund Hillary

20 July 1919 - 11 January 2008

This very brave man did some amazing things. With Tenzing Norgay he became the first ever person to climb Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world in 1953. He served in World War II and raised a lot of money to build schools and hospitals for the people of Nepal where Mount Everest is.

Lets go further back to when he was at school. He started off school at Tuakau Primary School then went to high school at Auckland Grammar School. It took him two hours to get to school each day on the train and after school another two hours to get home again. At Tuakau Primary School he finished two years early and then went to high school. He only got average marks.

A few years went by and he went and studied science and mathematics at Auckland University College. After that he went on to be a bee keeper. He only worked in the summer meaning he climbed mountains in the winter.

One thing your won't know about him is that his father fought in Gallipoli and as I mentioned before is that he fought in World War II as a navigator in the Royal New Zealand Air Force. He got badly burned in a boat accident.

He also reached both the South and North poles and was the first person to reach both poles and climb Mount Everest.

He was married twice and had three children. His first wife and one of his daughters died in a plane crash in 1975.

He was knighted in 1995 and his picture is on our $5 note.

He died of a heart attack.

Reading Assessment blog post

I can make links across texts by recognising connectives or adverbial clauses

In this unit learnt how to link sentences with conjunctives and adverbial clauses

A connective is punctuation that links sentences etc: ; ,

An adverbial clause is words that link two sentences together. etc: after, before, and

Here is a link to a compare and contrast map of an adverbial clause and a connective.
