Personal Passion – Excellence Care Award

This DLO is an activity to earn an Excellence Care Award. As you can see my personal passion is playing the violin. One of my favourite pieces to play is “Gavotte from Mignon”. Because of all the semiquavers and quavers in this piece, it gives me a challenge. But one of my dislikes on playing the violin is having to keep a great posture and having to place your fingers in the correct place, and the pressure differences depending on which part of the bow you are in.

Silver Care Award (Excellence)

For this activity, I had to research about a New Zealander that has shown excellence or creativity in their life. As you can see, I chose Ernest Rutherford. Ernest Rutherford is a brilliant phyicist that found a groundbreaking discovery. He found out that atoms aren’t just a solid ball, as people thought before.

I loved doing this activity because I learned plenty of information about Ernest Rutherford.
