CARE: My progress so far

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: Community          because: I have 7 highlighted off and on the other values I only have 5

The one area of CARE that I need to work harder in is:   Active thinking and respect            because: they are the two that I have the least highlighted off in.

To show my leadership qualities I am a role model to others in the CARE values by doing/showing these leadership traits: I show the leadership traits resilience and integrity

On the CARE SOLO matrix below I am at this SOLO level:             because: I know how to use the values by myself and I could show other how to use them.

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.

Koru Games

The activity I did was Netball.
Two highlights were:

• Coming 6th out of out of 32 teams because we had a lot of tough competition. 
• Winning to some of the teams by a lot because we worked hard all year.

I am proud of improving a lot because at the start of the year I wasn't the greatest and now I am a lot better.

Some advice on Koru Games for the next years year 7's is that try your best and if you don't make it into a team just move to another team and have fun.

I can apply my knowledge of adverbial clauses and connectives to see how ideas are linked in texts.

For reading I have been learning about adverbial clauses. I have found this learning easy because I kinda knew what it was but I needed a refresher.

In this activity Describe a adverbial clause , I had to describe what it was and then highlight what one was the adverbial clause.

My information report

The water cycle

The water cycle is a process that the water goes through between land, ocean and the atmosphere. The water is always recycled during the process; the water also changes state, it can change from a liquid to a solid or a gas. The can also change back. The stages of the water cycle are evaporation, condensation, precipitation, groundwater/runoff.

Evaporation

An important step in the water cycle is evaporation. Evaporation is when the sun heats up the water in the oceans, lakes and rivers and turns it into a gas which we know and water vapor(Gas).

Evaporation is faster when it’s hotter because the water heats up quicker therefore, it turns into vapor at a faster. Water vapor (Gas) is also known as humidity, in hotter places there is a high amount of humidity. After the water becomes a gas it goes up into the atmosphere and turns into clouds which is called condensation.

Condensation/Precipitation

Without condensation and precipitation the water cycle can’t happen because after the clouds form it rains which is called precipitation. All air contains water molecules which are invisible when condensation happens. Condensation also happens more when the temperature is hotter because warmer air contains more water vapor (Gas) than colder air does. After condensation happens precipitation happens. Precipitation is different types of liquids and solids. Eg:  rain, snow, sleet, hail and ice. The amount of precipitation that falls is very different around the world. Some places get precipitation all year round and other places have rainy and dry seasons. After the water vapor(Gas) mixes with dust in the air and turns into clouds and it rains, snows, sleets, hails and there is ice it then moves to the next stage of the water cycle which is runoff and groundwater.

Run-off/Ground-water

Without run-off and ground-water the water cycle won't start again. Run-off is just water running off the land surface. Runoff water reaches rivers, lakes and the ocean making the water cycle carry on. After runoff the water goes to a place called groundwater storage. It gets to this place by gravity. Ground water has many purposes like keeping plants alive and providing water to lakes.  

Conclusion

The main point is that we need all of these steps to keep the water cycle going and so we have water and so do the plants, lakes, rivers and oceans.

The things highlighted in blue is when I added a hyphen and then ones highlighted in green is where I added a semi colon, commas and a Parenthesis.

I can recognise and understand a variety of grammatical constructions and some rhetorical patterns

I can recognise and understand a variety of grammatical constructions and some rhetorical patterns

In this unit I have been learning about:

• The parts of speech.
• The types of nouns.
• The types of sentences.

In this unit, I found challenging… Learning about the different types of nouns because some of them I either have forgotten or I've never heard of them

Something new I learnt was... I learn that there are more than just common and proper nouns.
