Tech @ Tamaki College

Last week Friday we went to tech. For tech our next rotation is Robotics. Our teacher for robotics is Mr. Krishna. Mr Krishna goes around helping us if we don't know what to do. For robotics we have been programming our M-Bot to move in a square, rectangle and triangle. We have been using different controls to make our M-bot move. We could control the amount of seconds for the M-Bot to move and the amount of circles it can repeat for.  If we got the M-Bot the way we want it to Mr. Krishna uses a stick that had a camera on it to record our M-Bots moving.

Importance of Positive attitude

Today I have completed my 4th Silver Attitude care award activity. This activity is about me creating a video explaining the importance of showing positive attitude. I explained that if you show positive attitude you take on large responsibilities because you are trusted by your teacher. Also my editing skills are not that great so the cuts in the video are badly edited. I enjoyed doing this activity as this was one step closer to completing all of my attitude care awards.

Confidence Care Award

Today I have decided to finish my last Confidence Care award and blog it. This Care award was about me choosing a career that interest me and interviewing a person that does my chosen career. I interview  them by asking them questions. I have written 6 questions to a company that has a topic all about Vivian Maier, they have replied with answers and I have written them down on my DLO.  I really enjoyed this task because photography is something I look forward to do in College.

Explanation | Respect, Empathy, Tolerance

Asthma

How would you feel if you had an asthma attack and your friends just started laughing? Some people take asthma as a joke or they mock you and start laughing at you. If someone can’t run as fast as you can, don’t judge them, because you don't know what they have experienced. Don't go to them saying that you don't like something about them, just keep it to yourself.

Asthma is a serious condition and isn’t expected to be taken as a joke. Your actions can hurt someone on the inside but maybe not the outside. Show empathy and understand the fact that they cannot control their breathing. If you see an asthmatic using their inhaler don’t give them the evils and start laugh. How would you like it if you fall down and scrape your knee? And everyone just started laughing at you? You wouldn’t feel so happy would you.

Treat someone the same way you want to be treated back. If someone is having an asthma attack don't just stand their laughing take them to the nearest sick bay or somewhere where someone could help them. If you go over an asthmatics house and you don’t like that there are inhalers everywhere don’t tell them that you don’t like it, just keep it to yourself and put up with it.

If you don’t like what someone does, don’t judge them for it. You wouldn’t like it if you were mocked by them. Put up with it because no one asked to hear what you think. Understand what they have been through and how their life style works. Tolerate what they do and respect them. You aren’t their guardians so therefore you don’t need to complain about something that doesn’t involve you. Don’t Judge a book by its cover.

What the 5 Sentences look like with the changes -

This week for Inquiry we have been learning about Enterprise and Economics. We wrote a 5 sentence summary and changed it up by making each sentence only have 10 syllables. I worked with Victoria, Fui and Chavda. There is a video of us saying the sentences and sounding out the syllables.
