What did I do?

Day 1: We chose our product and found a capable recipe that was easy to make. We listed all the ingredients that we needed, and designed a signature item with a bakery name.

Day 2: We calculated the cost of the ingredients, and found the unit rates for the ingredients.

Day 3: We provided explanation of the calculation of the cost of one batch, the amount of servings that were to be sold, and the cost of one serving. We found the percentage of markup, sell price, and profit that we earned.

Day 4: We made our projects, and determined our sell prices.

What did I learn?

I learned how to make pancakes using videos and photos online while learning how to calculate the unit cost, markup percent, and the profit.

What worked?

We were able to calculate the percentage of markup, sell price, and profit correctly and found the recipe that worked really well.

What did not work?

We didn’t earn any income and also lost some money because the price that we put up was to low. We sometimes lowered the price because we were afraid that we weren’t able to sell all of the pancakes. We should have kept the same price and not lower it.

How is this relevant for me?

This wasn’t relevant for me because it doesn’t really help me with my math skills by making food. This also isn’t relevant for me because learning how to make pancakes isn’t something that can help me.

What are we doing? 

 In Language Arts, we have been writing personal narratives. We also completed personal identity wheels and memory mind maps. On the identity wheel, we wrote different things that has happened to us in the past to help us better understand ourselves better.

What am I learning?

We are starting to focus on the personality traits that make us who we are. We are trying to understand ourselves better.

What’s Working?

What’s working for me in Language Arts is learning about understanding ourselves and learning about us.

What did you learn?

During this unit of learning table tennis, I learned how to use the backhand serve and foward serve to play table tennis. This was really helpful for me because it helped me understand how to play table tennis in different ways. I also learned that you have to serve away from the table so the ball doesn’t hit the net.

In this unit, I enjoyed playing table tennis with my friends and classmates. It was really fun learning new things during P.E. class. This was a really good time for me to improve on my table tennis skills. I had a really good time playing table tennis during class.

1. What steps did you follow to perform a legal underhand serve? Which part of the serve do you feel you did best ?

2. How did you control the ball during your underhand serve to make sure it went over the net or hit the wall where you wanted?

What did I do?

I learned how to swim.

What did I learn?

I learned how to improve my free-stlyle. I also learned how to snorkel without getting a lot of water in my mouth and being able to breath.

What worked?

I quickly learned how to breathe when swimming with the snorkel and noticed that it was pretty fun.

What didn’t?

I took a hard time for me to do backstroke.

What did I do?

The criteria for the Egg Car was to design and build a car with a safety system that will deliver an egg safely down a ramp.

What did I learn?

We see Newton’s 1st law in action with the egg car when the car rolls down the ramp. The gravity is pulling it downward.

We see Newton’s 3rd law in action with the egg car when the egg car rolls down the ramp and the force on the bricks.

What worked?

The egg car worked well when it rolled down the ramp. It was able to safetly deliver the egg to the ground. We worked collaboratively and would listen to others ideas and use it.

What did not work?

The front of the car flipped a lot because our crumple zone was to hard and too big. Our crumple zone affected our egg car because it did not crumple. We can improve on it by making a crumple zone that can crumple and can stop the egg car from flying away from the ramp.

Personal Relevance

This can help me learn how to work collaboratively with other people and explaining our ideas when working with a group. This can help me collaborate with other people more effectively in the future.

1. What did I work on? 

1. During this unit, Campaign for the Olympics, I worked on a presentation about why my country should be chosen to host the 2030 Olympics games in Londen, United Kingdom. We learnt about the history of the Olympic games. We worked on researching our country by using the SAS Databases and locating evidence about our country. We worked on using persuasive reasoning to convince the IOC to select our country to host the next Olympic games. I created a script and a PPT using images from the SAS Databases. I worked on practicing my script aloud and I used notecards.  

2. What did I learn? Why do global sporting events exist? 

1. Global sporting events exist too… 

1. Unite different countries around the world 

2. Rank country’s athletic performances 

3. Update sporting achievements 

4. Entertain people 

5. Increase economy 

6. Positively collaborate 

7. Show-case new sports 

8. Continue traditions 

9. Have recognition 

10. Show-case countries 

3. What worked well? 

1. I am proud of these things; my pitch and persuade script, and my presentation. 

2. I am proud of the things above because I did a great job at writing my script because I researched a lot of strong evidence and used a lot of persuasive sentence starters. I also did a good job at my presentation because I didn’t have a lot of words on the presentation and had a lot of nice pictures to support my evidence.  

4. What did not work well? 

1. I found some things challenging, they were speaking clearly and loudly in front of people and not looking at my script so often.  

2. I found the things above challenging because it is nervous when speaking in front of many people. When I’m nervous, it makes my voice turn smaller and I usually forget a lot of things in my head. When I forget the words that are in my head, I must look at the paper often, so I don’t forget the words that I have to say.  

5. Personal Relevance 

1. Collaboration and communication skills are important in my future because they help us work better with the people around us and collaborate more.

Why have a digital portfolio at SAS?

Creating a portfolio, or blog is a great way to collect all the work you’ve done throughout your academic career. You can include academic, athletic, and personal artifacts or experiences that you want to share with a wider audience. This is a great way to organize all your learning in one place and you can take it with you when you leave SAS.  When you make your portfolio, you create posts that are categorized according to your subject. Some categories have already been set up for you, but if you need more categories you can add them as needed. It’s important that your posts have the following:

• An engaging title – this should not include the name of the subject since this is referenced in the category. Think of this as the first opportunity to engage and hook your reader!
• Body – this is where you share your learning. This should include a combination of text and media in the form of images, graphics, and embedded videos. You should always consider how your post looks to your audience. Is it engaging and organized? Do they want to keep reading?
• Category – select one that has been set for you or add a new category. Posts can have more than one category e.g. Humanities and Myself as a Learner
• Tags – create tags that can be used as keywords to describe your post. Tags help organize your post a little more! Aim to have 3-5 tags for each post. For example, if you are posting about a novel you wrote, you might want the following tags: #Fiction, #MurderMystery, #Theme, #PlotDiagram
