Key Leadership 6

Librarian


On Tuesday we swapped days with Ashley and Johanna so we did it on Tuesday and they are doing it today (Wednesday). Mrs Ward put a movie on the TV and heaps of children came to watch. Brianna and I didn't scan many books because everyone was watching the movie. But we did put all the books on the trolley away. When the TV kept glitching we were resilient. I showed the CARE Values by turning up to my job and giving my best at it. I showed the Leadership trait of Resilient because when the TV glitched we were resilient and didn't give up.

Use a range of multiplicative strategies when operating on whole numbers T3

Use a range of multiplicative strategies when operating on whole numbers


I can apply the strategy to problem solving questions




The escape


A prisoner sits in his cell planning his escape. The prisoner is kept in by 5 laser beams, which operate along a corridor. Each laser is switched off at a specific time interval for just long enough to allow a person to walk through. The time between being switched off for each laser is shown below:


  • Laser One = every 3 minutes
  • Laser Two = every 2 minutes
  • Laser Three = every 5 minutes
  • Laser Four = every 4 minutes
  • Laser Five = every 1 minutes


The guard patrols and checks the prisoner each time all the laser beams are off simultaneously. Because each laser only switches off for a short time the prisoner knows he can only get past one laser at a time. He has to get past the five lasers from 1 to 5 in order. Laser One is at the entrance of the prisoner’s cell and laser Five is at the door to the outside. He also knows that if he spends longer than 4 minutes 12 seconds in the corridor an alarm will go off.


Can the prisoner escape without the alarm in the corridor going off? Yes


If he can escape, how many minutes should he wait before passing Laser One? 1


How much time will he have after passing Laser Five before the guard raises the  alarm?  12seconds

Key Leadership 3 Distinction

Librarian



On Wednesday lunchtime I went to the Library with Brianna to do our job as Librarians. Because we didn't have any books to put away we had to go through the Picture Books and make sure that they were all in the correct letter.  We had lots of people in the Library on Wednesday even though it was warm outside. We had lots of renewals. I scanned the books and Brianna typed in the names and opened the books ready for me to scan.  I like scanning because I get to use the new scanner. I showed the CARE values by always showing up to my role . I showed the Leadership trait of Trustworthy because Mrs Ward the Librarian trusts that I will turn up.

Home learning challenge 4 Distinction



On Saturday I worked for my Mum's boss Lilly. Her company is called Miss Lilly's Boutique Catering. I worked in the food truck caravan with Noni (chef) preparing the food and putting the garnishes on the canapes. We catered for a 60th Birthday Party and I did some waitressing, but I didn't really like it because there were a lot of people and I didn't want to drop any of the food.

I also worked at another party for someone turning 65 and the party was out in Rangiora.  Mum had me waitressing as there weren't so many people and they were really friendly, asking me questions about what I was serving.  I was able to answer them as I had helped Mum and Noni put the food on the plates and do the garnishes again.  When we got back to Lilly's kitchen we had to empty the food truck of all the dirty dishes and plates, ready for the dishwasher to wash the next day.

It was a lot of fun working with my Mum, Noni and Heather who were really helpful and kind. They showed me what to do and helped me with learning about health and safety when working with food and in a kitchen.  The main rule is to make sure your hands are clean.

I am grateful that Lilly gave me the chance to do work experience with her business.
