I want to have lots of Mrs Farquhar notes because she is worth $100, which will allow me to rent a table for a week.
I won’t worry about renting a chair or table; I’ll save my money and work on the floor. Until I discovered, we couldn’t use our Chromebooks on the floor. Can I rent the table for part of the day or week? What would it cost?
The Aratiatia Government, also known as the teachers of Aratiatia, created 35 jobs within our team and displayed them as job advertisements. Next, the children looked at their strengths and traits. We compared the characteristics each of the different jobs advertised might need, to those we identified in ourselves.
A banker would need to be great at Maths. It would be an excellent job for me.
I like money, and I am very good at being careful where things belong. I think I will have some traits needed to be a banker.
Exploring how people get jobs led us to examine examples of Curriculum Vitae. Now the mission was to sell our strengths and traits enough to secure the job we wanted.
Having to persuade the teachers to give me a job was more complicated than I first thought.
I first chose the job with the highest salary. Then I changed my mind as it wasn’t suited for me. Instead, I applied for three different positions.
The hardest part was writing our skills, strengths and traits in ways that didn’t sound repetitive or boring. Drafting and rewriting their CV’s helped them to become outstanding pieces of work.
Finally, the teachers made their decisions on who successfully secured which job.
The income will flow, and Room 10 can start saving for our property (also known as tables) and our wants.
Wairakei Primary school has a wonderful rural environment and an amazing community. I enjoy working with this community to help students rise to succeed. Learning happens everywhere and is different for every child, celebrating and challenging students is my drive as a teacher.
I strive to encourage every student to achieve to the best of their ability. My passions are Technology and Science. I use them as foundations in unlocking excitement and wonder to produce thinkers and creators.
