Careers: SMART goal

I want to be one of top students in most areas maths by the end of the year and to continue that throughout my time at Grey high. I will be able to do this if I continue to listen to the teacher and use the strategies that we are told to do. It will also help to do some work at home so I can practice some areas of maths that I am not as good with. I will know I have improved when I can do questions faster and I will be able to understand what is happening with all the numbers when I use the strategies. This will help me get a job and it will be useful to be able to work thing out in different places.     

What we have been doing in careers

In this class we have been learning about the career management competencies. I

The career management competency that we have mainly been doing is developing self awareness,
exploring opportunities and deciding and acting. We have been focusing on developing self awareness
and have been linking it to the pb4l expectations which are learning, respect, responsibility and safety.

We have been learning about our skills, values and interest and looking at how those skills, values and
interest are going to help you get a job and what you would want to tell your employer so you will get a
job. We have also been learning about thinking, relating to others, using language, symbols, and texts,
managing self, participating and contributing and how that will help us in the future.

We have been working through a book that has a lot of different things that will help us develop self
awareness. We have also been writing a lot of self reflections to see how well we are doing at those
key competencies.

  

I think a career is a about something that everyone has and it can be paid or unpaid.
It is something that you do all day around the house or anywhere.

Element and compound

We combined magnesium with oxygen by holding a piece of magnesium of a bunsen burner on the blue
flame. After about 15 seconds in the blue flame, the magnesium would burn and have an extremely bright
flame with a white colour. When it was finished it was a white solid and if you touch it, it becomes a
powder. We did this about 6 times and it always did the same thing.
