assertiveness and conflict

Yay, I was there for something (* far away yay*) now, back to work

I learnt about the different types of reactions when people are in a conflict, they are aggressive, passive, and assertive.

When I get into arguments with my parents I can be  passive assertive ... either way I try to get my opinion across, why am I like this.

In the business and enterprise Kete, I will try to reduce conflict by keeping people who are annoyed at each other away from each other and letting them calm down slowly.

I will be able to keep calm by walking away, calming down, and then getting into a conversation with the one I was annoyed with after we both cool down.

mindfulness

I was away for mindfulness so this is me trying my best to do it annieway (ba-dum-ching)

I learnt that being mindful is much more than just listening to what people say, it's fully taking in the information and not acting mean when someone has a new idea.

During the business and enterprise Kete I can be mindful by listening to other students ideas and opinions on what we should be doing and being attentive to what others are feeling.

relsilience

I was away for resilience, so i am doing the best I can with what i have learnt

My favourite quotes related to resilience is: "Obstacles, of course, are developmentally necessary: they teach kids strategy patience critical thinking resilience  and resourcefulness" and "when something goes wrong in your life just yell. 'PLOT TWIST!' and move on"



During the business and enterprise Kete I will be able to use resilience to keep myself calm and always try to come to school happy no matter what happened the day before

transport in plants

Aim: to observe xylem tissue and prove that the transport water up the plant

equipment: one stick of celery with the leaves still attached, a retort stand, boss head and clamp, a petri dish, water, food colouring, a knife or scalpel

method:

1. make a cut across the base of the celery stalk to expose a new section of the stem

2. fill the petri dish with water and add a few drops of food colouring

3. place the celery stalk in the petri dish and gently clamp it in place using the retort stand, boss head and clamp

4. leave the stalk undisturbed for 24 hours

5. remove the stalk from the clamp and petri dish, cut the stem about 1/3 of the way up

interpersonal skills - problem solving

I learnt about problem solving and how to talk to people about problems

When i think i often react positively or negatively, however i can use thought challenges, for example

"I can't do anything right" (red/negative thought) " Am i exaggerating?" (yellow/ challenging thought) "No i can do things right, like maths and science" (green/positive thought)

During the business and enterprise kete i will be able to overcome challenges by using my problem solving skills

For example if someone wants to cook food and another wants to make slime, we could divide the stall into two sections one selling food one person made and the other selling the slime the other made.

we printed stuff..... IN 3-D!!!!!!!

lately in technology we have been doing the topic of 3-d printing and we used a program for building things, a program for converting images and a program to find things that other have made

Tinkercad, file converter and thingieverse respectively

on tinkercad we used basic shapes to make different shapes and sculpture like objects

on fie converter we could turn images we found online into a file that we can use to 3-d print so we could do things like jack skellington on a box or PORGS

and on thingieverse we could get files of things that people made and print them ourselves like the Tardis below

LIGHT IS COOL (observing reflection in curved mirrors)

Aim:  to investigate the reflection of light waves in concave and convex mirrors

Method:
1. set up your ray box, triple slit ray slide and power supply
2. place the mirrors on your book as indicated below, place the ray box at the top of the page and shine the 3 rays of light at the mirror
3. ensure that the middle ray of light is hitting the mirror at a 90 degree angle
4. carefully trace the line of the three indecent rays and the three reflected rays
