Kokako Bird Drawing (Excellence & Innovation) | C.A.R.E Awards

This is a drawing I created personally for Mrs. Anderson after camp for thank you letters. Nyjah also created a drawing of the Hunua falls, which they were both put together in the end. Being a created with teacher or custom, this counts as another and the last completed challenge to earn my silver Excellence & Innovation badge.

3 Motivational Posters (Excellence & Innovation) | C.A.R.E Awards

This was another one of the 5 challenges I've done for my silver Excellence & Innovation badge. For this, I had to create 3 motivational posters out of quotes used by inspirational people. I decided to use a google presentation since I would be easier to put them all together. These people were Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr, and Albert Einstein.

My Personal Passion (Excellence & Innovation) | C.A.R.E Awards

For this challenge to achieve my Excellence & Innovation silver badge, I had to identify my personal passion. I would say reading and not only just books. I read in and out of school, and it helps me so much mentally to better and add to my knowledge. I personally enjoy fictional books because they are most interesting whether it be about a green eggs or a bunch of talking animals.

Research a New Zealander with this aspect (Excellence & Innovation) | C.A.R.E Awards

As another challenge for the Excellence & Innovation silver badge, I had to research a New Zealander who has show excellence and innovation themselves. I've chosen, popularly, Sir Edmund Hillary because of the obvious influence and impact he made from reaching Mt. Everest. Others are inspired in their own way from this act proving how he shows excellence and innovation by challenging himself.

Reading 3 Novels (Silver Excellence & Innovation) | C.A.R.E Awards

As one of the challenges for the Excellence & Innovation silver badge, I had to read 3 (graphic) novels. A graphic novel is a novel with pictures set out in the format of a comic strip. The books I read were Matilda by Roald Dahl, Ghosts by Raina Telgemeier and StoneKeeper by Kazu Kibuishi. I think my favourite of all of these novels is Ghosts. It's about two sisters and their family who move to another place in idea to better the younger one who has a disorder. This doesn't stop them from exploring the place, and meeting a boy who coincidentally is connected to their family through their parents. He shows them spirits and ghosts, which make them unsettled. When Dia de Muertos (Day of the dead) comes, the seeing of spirits isn't new and they realise they had no intent to harm them.
