Silver Attitude | Task Four

I completed the fourth activity for my silver attitude badge. I chose to research the role of a PHN and tell people how they help us. A PHN is a public health nurse and they help the public maintain their well-being and health. 

Isaac Newton

LI: to learn about Isaac Newton. 

This week in Reading, LS2 has been working towards Simple Machines. Apart of this, we were required to learn about Isaac Newton. Isaac Newton is a physicist, mathematician, theologian and an Astronomer. We were also required to create a DLO with the following questions: Why is his work important? What did he find out? How does his work connect to simple machines?

I found this interesting because I learnt more and new facts about Isaac Newton. 

Attitude Silver | Research Someone Who Has a Positive Attitude Despite Difficulties They have Faced

For my attitude silver task, I was researching someone who has a positive attitude despite difficulties. I chose to research on Nelson Mandela. Nelson Mandela was the former president of South Africa. He had a positive attitude despite being imprisoned. This shows that he is a great person and role model. 

Cybersmart | Smart Learners

LI: to be cybersmart. 

Being cybersmart means to be knowledgeable with devices. If you are cybersmart you can keep safe while on the web. This activity was based on being a smart learner. We needed to label the work we have completed as "completed". 

Confidence Silver | Teach a Group of Students to Play a Simple Game

For my last confidence silver task, Juel and I decided to teach some students to play a simple game. The game we taught the students is called 'Whanowhano'. In this game, two people need to face each other and shout "Whanowhano". Once the players do this, they need to jump and land in one of four positions. The positions are: legs together, legs apart, right foot forward and left foot forward. If they land on the same position, they need to shout "Hi!" and the first person to do so gets the point. The two students Juel and I taught were Jacob and Amani. 

Confidence Silver | Present a Duffy Book at a School Assembly

For my confidence silver task, I presented a Duffy book at our assembly. I talked about the Shakespearean story "Much Ado About Nothing". This book is about how people will act when they're in love. Two companions fight for a woman named 'Hero'. I was nervous when I presented this book but I was thankful for the opportunity I had.

Confidence Silver | Teaching a Junior Student How to Create a DLO

For my silver confidence task, I created a DLO that can teach junior students how to create a DLO (digital learning object). Sahil from LS1 came to LS2 so that I could teach him how to make a DLO. A digital learning object is something that has information about what you learnt or what you know. I taught Sahil what is included in a DLO and how he can create one. I hope that Sahil will make more DLO's in the future.
