Core Competencies

I made a cushion for my footstool but when I glued the stool together it was not square. Since the stool was not square the plywood for the cushion wouldn’t fit as a square. To fix this I had to trace the plywood under my stool, and then I cut the plywood on the bandsaw. I cut a bit too much on the bandsaw so I sanded down the rest until the plywood fit with just enough space for my fabric.

CPR Reflection

In this unit something new I learned was the post Covid-19 version of CPR. I hadn’t thought about how Covid might affect first aid before. The biggest takeaway for me was that I want to work on the physical aspect of CPR because if I ever need to do CPR for a really long time I don’t know how long I would be able to go before getting too tired. This unit goes with the nutrition unit because diets can be a big cause if someone does end up needing CPR.

Core Competency Reflection

  • I work with others to achieve a goal.  – I worked with my partner so that we could both do our best.
  • I persevere with challenging tasks and take ownership of my goals, learning behavior. – I continued CPR until it was done which was challenging for me.
  • I am kind to others, and support others when they need it. – I reminded my partner of things they needed to do.
  • I demonstrate respectful, inclusive behaviour. – I demonstrated this when we were sharing the AEDs.
  • I ask and respond to questions to be an active, supportive listener. – This is my goal because I think I could answer more questions in class.
