Health and Well-being I do lots of things to stay happy, fit and active: 1. I play hockey on Tuesday night - I am a defender.

2. I play netball on a Monday night - this is my favourite sport.



3. I walk my dog every morning before school - we both enjoy this.



4. I play World of Warcraft for an hour every night - this makes me very happy ;)

5. I walk to school with my pals - this is a lot healthier than getting the bus.

Successful Learner I learn during lots of different activities: 1. At Hockey and Netball I learn lots of new skills. I think I am gradually getting better.



2. When I teach my dog tricks - I learn about her behaviour and how to get her to obey commands.



3. Playing World of Warcraft helps me to learn new computer skills.



4. I learn when I help my mum to make the tea. I made Spaghetti Bolognese last week.



5. I learn when I watch TV and You Tube - I have been watching Frozen Planet. It is amazing. Polar Bears grow to be ten feet tall and have been known to swim as far as 100 miles.



Confident Individual

These things help to make me confident: 1. Playing Hockey and Netball helps to make me more confident as my skills are getting better in both sports and I know that I am better than some other players now.



2. Talking with my friends helps make me confident as if something worries me I tell them. Sometimes they will say there is nothing to be worried about. Sometimes they will say that this worries them too. either way it makes me feel more confident as a problem shared is a problem halved!

3. Playing World of Warcraft makes me more confident as I am an enormous Ice Troll with a huge hammer and nothing stands in my way. If I am feeling down I go on World of Warcraft and squash some Elves - I soon feel better! 4. I recently sang at the school's Talent Contest - it was quite nerve wracking but I did ok and next time I will be a lot more confident. 5. Cooking at home makes me more confident every time I do it.

Responsible Citizen I am responsible in many ways: 1. I tidy my room; this makes me more independent and cuts down on rows with my mum. It also means she trusts me more to do stuff on my own. 2. I help about the house. My parents are very busy and I realise that it is not fair if I don't help with hoovering and sometimes making tea. 3. I walk the dog which helps to keep her fit and happy. I pick up her poo and bin it! This helps to keep the neighbourhood nice for other people. 4. I don't drop litter. Littering causes pollution and as well as looking horrible can attract vermin like rats, it can also poison rivers and ponds and all the animals that live in them. 5. I am polite to people - if everyone was polite, society would be a nicer place.

Effective Contributor I contribute to society and share with others in the following ways: 1. I work well with others at school - even if I'm put in a group with people who aren't my regular friends. 2. I am a good team player in Hockey and Netball. If I am captain I try to lead well without being bossy. If I am a team member I try my hardest right through the game and try not to hog the ball. 3. I am on the Hawick High News team - we make videos about all the good stuff that happens at school to encourage everyone to get involved and enjoy their education.

This year I have achieved:

I have logged on to My World of Work and taken the careers DNA test - here are my results.

Learner Statement Write a few sentences summarising your strengths and personal qualities. This might include comments about:
 * being a hard worker
 * being organised
 * having a positive attitude
 * being able to concentrate and focus on tasks
 * how you like to learn

I think that one of my major strengths is working hard in all of my classes. In Science I find it more difficult than other subjects, so I put a lot of effort into experiments. Sometimes I find it difficult to remember to bring all of the correct books and jotters for school so I use the reminders app on my smartphone. I also think that I have a positive attitude because If I don't really feel like it, I still get to school on time, and try to focus in class. My favourite way of learning is to be set a task and then I use books and computers to produce a report. I am not so keen on listening to a teacher talking for a long time but I take notes in my jotter to remember the main points of the lesson.

Skills Look at the list of skills for learning, life and work for some ideas of what skills you may have. Describe your key skills, asking yourself: when did you use the key skills? how do you know the skill was used effectively? If you have not already done so, make sure you comment on your skills of: Literacy, numeracy, health and wellbeing and working with others.

I feel I am quite skilled at finding resources for my subjects which is a problem solving skill. I use the school library and the internet at home. I have used the internet to research why the Russians were able to defeat the Nazis at the battle of Stalingrad in 1943. I also use the Numeracy skill of using data to make decisions. This is important in Maths, but I also use numbers such as the amount of people killed in battles to decide which is the most important turning point of WW2 in my History project. In Literacy I like to contribute to discussions. This helps in English, but I like to give my opinion in PSD when we talk about drugs, alcohol and sex issues. We are watching and discussing a film called The Slide which is about drug use.
