In Social studies we have learned more about what it's like if you were to get or have a job for this activity we had a digital interview. This is where you have to answer questions about our qualities and more. One thing that I enjoyed but didn't enjoy was having to agree with myself at what I am good at and what I'm not so good at.
Here is a link of what we had to do for our digital interview.
For Social studies at the beginning of this term we have been learning about different careers. We had to choose within our top 3 jobs we might wanna do in the future. I chose to study about directors, photographers and architectural technicians. We had to answer questions like what are important facts about the jobs, how much can you earn, what other job opportunities can you get/earn, length of training to be qualified, study campuses and what things are important about your job. One thing that was not easy was finding some of the answers for the question, another thing that was easy is what job I would want to do. After all this we then had to choose one out of the three and find out even more about the job I chose to do architectural technicians.
In social studies these past couple of weeks we have been working on our future and deciding what
we wanna do and be when we are older. We were given a booklet with heaps of different activities
relating to our future. The very first activity we had to complete was a word match. This is where you
match words with the definition for example budget would connect with a plan that shows the time or
money you have and how you will spend it. The next activity we did was true and false. This is where
you get asked a question and decide whether or not it is true or false. We then chose whether or not
certain jobs are for men or women. I chose both for every job. We did another activity where we
chose where we would like to live. I chose the countryside where there are a lot of activities and a
river nearby. We had to choose what type of houses and car we wanted. I wanted to build my own
house and walk everywhere. The next activity we had to complete was how I'd like to spend my
spare time and plan our dream holiday. After we finished all of these activities we had to add up our
total and figure out how much we really make in a month My job was a architectural technicians and
you can make 75,000 a year so if you were to divide that by 12 you will find how much you make a
month, I would make 6,250 a month without paying taxes and stuff but after I pay all my stuff off a
month I would really get around 1,800 a month.
This term in social studies we have been learning about the qualities of a leader and learning and getting a better understanding about the NZ government. We were given big sheets with pages full of information about the government it had articles about what it used to be like before 1840, Maori seats and a lot, lot more. We then had to answer some questions relating to the articles we reed off the big sheet of paper after we finished filling out these sheets, we wrote reflections for each article here is my slide you will find out what I have learnt and new words I learnt after reading the articles.
