My highlight for term 2 was the adventure race which was in my class Adrenaline
It was my highlight for term 2 because we had an entire day of fun and running around a farm trying to be the team that won, we ran threw mud jumped over fences and crawled thru bushes
The one thing that didn't work out for me or I didn't like while doing the adventure race was the fact that my bags strap was ripping and that I had gotten my clothes dirty.
2021 so far has been a exciting and fun year, My class Adrenaline has been the class I most enjoy as we get to, go out of school and do fun activities such as we have done: Surfing,Mountain biking, Farm walk and Adventure race. The adventure race was so far the toughest and
All In this to gather: was and alright class as we basically started making presentations from week 9. Most of the time I just listened to music and sat and talked with friends
Game maker: Game maker was an amazing class as My group did Physical education On Monday to Wednesday, and maths and the same people who I sat with In the class "All In this together". The teachers were kind and understanding about How I couldn't present my presentation and how I couldnt do physical education
This Thursday at 4th block my year group 9, well as the year 10's went to the Game of life which Is located at A&P showgrounds. We went there to learn about what we want to do with ours lives. The positive thing about the game of life was Me getting a kiwi fruit knife which looked like a real knife(WHICH WAS NOT IT WAS JUST PLASTIC) and I poked my brother with It. The minus side of the game of life was me not getting to see everything else as we had only 40 minutes I think. And what I found interesting was, Learning about this one boat which had lots of good parts and looked very cool.
My 3 Strengths are Bravery,Perseverance and Social intelligence
Examples:
Bravery: I have shown bravery while facing my challenges and going through pain.
Perseverance: I have perseverance, I don't give up while facing my goals because I am a hard worker.
Social Intelligence: I am very social intelligent while It comes to knowing everyone around me and knowing what they feel like and what there habits are after I have been around them for awhile.
Nothing quite interesting happened since from last week. However I played a cricket game on wednesday afternoon It was campion green vs campion nobles. We had a fun and tough game and at the end we managed to win with having 160 runs, the other team with 102 runs. I also had done a presentation on how Manaakitanga is shown on my class ''ALL IN THIS TOGETHER''. All though I am not done but I can say I have gotten the correct information and I do need to add more images and animation.
Powtoon Presention On Manaakitanga
All I can say Is that I have worked hard on everything this week and I am appreciating the learning that I am Enhancing.
I also had been to the hospital this week to get my knee
This Is quiet literally my week and I hope ITs way exciting next week.
My year 2021 has been very boring and very enjoyable, The enjoyable part Is that I have been contact with my friends online on my phone and In school and playing my favourite sports and going to the park and playing video games. My classes have been going good so far however we've had to do somethings like surfing and presenting I've been nervous and excited for the 2 things That I have done and I hope I can advance my skill for those 2 The first time I did surfing I crashed Into the waves so many times and nearly drowned 2 times however now I am not drowning and I can surf standing up for 3 seconds, and with the presentation. My group had nailed It quite good my voice was loud and clear although I did not make eye contact. The most Unpleasant things were the covid -19 and the tsunami warnings like the one below. There has been at least 4 warnings this morning and a earthquake at 2am which made me come out of sleep and had me be awake for 5 hours because after the quake I could not sleep again! So far 2021 Has been good and I hope It stays good!
Today is market day and we finished doing our preparation
and today we also went to other peoples stalles and checked their work as well. At Least 3 other people had stolen our idea, However I think our one is the best one! As you can see from this picture THat i took of our stall that It has a big board showing the price and our names and our logo we also showed our prices to indicate how much they are worth! Mr Dun had make'n the big board and he also told us to set up our wood in fancy ways to attract customers And we also have paper bags in the background of our products, we got the bags from COuntdown. We got 13 bags for $0.20 Small wood is on the right side by the green table and the large wood are on the left side to the wall. THis product has taken us at least 9 weeks to create and we are very pleased with the results. We are deciding to bring a table cloth to put on the table for attraction and we might not if we canrt find it. AT the end of the day we hope that our product sells and we make a decent amount of money for the charity we will donate
Do you feel your team has worked well together? How so?
What have you done to get over difficulties or challenges?
How has your teacher helped you to become business prepared for market day?
List all the things you need to bring with you for market day next Friday We need to bring bags for the driftwood and smaller bags for the candles
Today we finished our product and chived them as well. Today we completed 3 driftwood and my favourite one must be the one on the far right! It has so many holes and it looks very clean, and with the candles in it looks more beautiful. We will know be planning on how to sell it and are also planning on completing our poster and deciding where we should get our bags from, for putting the wood in and selling it, we might also have our candles in a different packaging as it has a chance of falling if on the wood and getting crushed which is not good. we are deciding to sell the big ones for about $15 and the small ones for atleast $10 or $12 and if next week we have time I will go to the workshop and grab the wood which is full of sand and grab a wet paint brush and clean it of or maybe without water.
Today we brought more driftwood from the beach and today we are planning to complete making it today, so next week we can do packaging and how to set it up and posters. So we will be shiving and making holes in the wood,Joe and Gagan will be making holes and I will be shiving. And we will probably try to make the posters today if we have time.
How do you think you have used your time today?
What has been your biggest achievement today?
What do you need to do to make sure you will be on task for next week?
Today were going to be chiving all of our wood and try to make it clean, we cant do to much as we don't have any more wood. As I went to the beach yesterday afternoon the rain had ruined all the wood and it did become soggy, so tomorrow if it's a sunny day .Ill go there to check for more driftwood.
How do you think you have used your time today?
What has been your biggest achievement today
Name someone in your class (from another group) who you think is making a cool product. What is their product and why do you think it will sell. I really like Izans groups products and it is coasters I think it's cool cause it is shaped perfectly and is coloured with dark brown, It will sell good as it looks beautiful.
What do you need to do to make sure you will be on task for next week? Next week we will be drilling holes on to the driftwood and fix any angels, If there will be. ANd we also have to collect the driftwood from the beach.
Today we will be finishing our product and fix the angels of the driftwood cause they are not straight and have a chance of the candles falling out with it being lit, And after fixing three angels we will start putting more holes on the driftwood and start collecting more driftwood after
I believe that my group used our time very very well because we are technically done however we need to put a twig and drill the pieces of the driftwood a bit more so it's not on a angle. My biggest achievement for today was that we managed to get done with our project and that it look's so beautiful. The coolest project that that i have found cool was owen's group, and it is a coaster, the cool thing about it any why it is going to sell well is going to be because it is made out of a tree so a mini tree cut to make a coaster. Were going to be fixing the angle of our driftwood and that is all we have to do.
So today me and my partners will start on go to the workshop to work on our product. Each have a duty and it will be Gagan and Joe creating holes in the driftwood and I will be chiseling the holes so it can be smooth and steady, we will spend at least 2 blocks on this project as we are nearly done with this project, and at block 3 we will think about marketing our product.
1.Today went well because we got to start on our driftwood and we got to make a prototype and our final presentation as well we will possibly be done by 2 weeks all we have to do is maybe oil it to make it a natural and darker look because of our team work we managed to complete 2.
2.What I found difficult was trying to hold down the driftwood while it with being drilled, we all had to put pressure while we drilled on it.how we managed to overcome it was to imply pressure with me and my friend joe holding it down.
3. Business terms that we learned were, You need to have a prototype before you complete the final product as practicing, NOT to sit around and work as a team to complete stuff, And need to have everything planned out before doing anything
4. Next week we need to get more driftwood as the 4 were not good, and working as a team so we all have a job and finish everything
Plan for today will be, Making our product as we have all the equipment needed and have a video that explains how to make the product.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXm36rkTFeo We will need A, Shive to remove the excess wood off after drilling the holes in the driftwood, and the machine that makes holes in the driftwood, a pencil for measuring and where we will drill, and I would say that's all, we 3 will have roles during this, joe and gagan will be making holes and I will be shiving
Today we were all prepared and asked to go to the woodwork room to make a prototype of a driftwood hanger we figured it out how we were going to make it and how we were going to sell it and how much money we need to make! We also thought of a design for our driftwood hanger. There was one difficult thing that we had to do and that it also ruined ours moods, but we actually thought it was a good idea and that was changing our product! We were in the woodwork room and a teacher came and said we should change it because it was quite difficult to make and i agreed. so we changed it into driftwood tea lights and to be honest it was quiet beautiful. For the three business terms that i learnt that was, quality work that was all tbh. Next week when it's week 4 I should collect driftwood on this Sunday and bring it on Thursday and also buy tea lights.
