100 Word Challenge

The 100 word challenge is a challenge where you have to right a 100 word story (or as close to 100 words) about a different topic each time.This time our topic was what  it would be like if we left for space now and returned in 65 years so this is my 100 story:

I left for space now and I came back 65 years later I would expect New Zealand to be no where near as beautiful as it is now.I would guess that the waters would be polluted, weather much more hotter, sea levels to have rise and some of our endangered species gone.I would expect that some places would be over populated and some places abandoned. I would expext an place that is no where as good as now. I guess you'll never know tho because people might actually want to make a positive change instead of just letting things happen.

Quail Island/Otamahua

On Wednesday the 25th of October all the year 8s went to Quail Island/Otamahua instead of going to Picton where we were supposed to go for a camp but we couldn't go because of the earthquakes. Quail Island/Otamahua is about a 10 minute ferry ride from Lyttleton/Ōhinehou harbour.

What Quail Island/Otamahua used to look like

Quail Island/Otamahua was used for many different things such as a leprosy colony, a leprosy colony is where people used to have to live if they had leprosy.This is because back then in the old days people used to think if you touch or come in contact with someone with leprosy you would get it. This island also has a place called The Ships Grave Yard. The Ships Grave Yard is where everyone would just dump their boats when they didn't want them anymore because they were broken or other things.

This trip links to our learning because our kete is Kaitiakitanga which is about guardianship so by visiting Quail Island/Otamahua we get to see how some volunteers are trying to help save and regrow native plants and animals. 

Some successes that the volunteers have been able to do are make some native birds be able and come and live on this island. They have also made this island pest free and rubbish free.  They have also started planting native trees and plants to provide the right habitat for native animals and birds.

Some problems about Quail Island/Otamahua is that its going to be hard to keep this pest free and rubbish free as the more people visit the more likely chance that their is going to be rubbish and with low tides the pest can easily run across the mud flats.

I thought the trip to Quail Island/Otamahua was pretty good and I probably would go there again if I didn't have to stop every 2 minutes and talk in a group.

Here are some photos from the trip:

This has no effect just a normal photo that I don't know what happened :)

The Culture of Theater

Mime:
Mime is creating illusion with use of the body

1. Isolation of body parts

2. pulling faces

3. eye-hand-co-ordination

4. showing weight & quality

5. showing length

6. maintaining the illusion 

Kaitiakitanga

Meaning: Guardian and protection.this is a way people protect and manage the environment.


 Ways I can contribute to it are: Picking up rubbish and not littering as well as not wasting water  because are land is important to us so we have to protect it and with people littering and wasting stuff it is going to get worse especially since we are starting to go through climate change.

Gymnastic

I like gymnastics because we don't get to do it often and when we do we have proper equipment.

Business and Enterprise Evaluation

        1.  Produce a product for sale

2.  Run a profitable business.

The ability to be a good entrepreneur.

The ability to work collaboratively.

I reckon that our group achieved all of the success criteria and here are reason whys:

We produced a product for sale because on the day we were actually selling things which meant that we did produce a product.

We ran a profitable business because we had to sell out to do it and that is what we did.

Business and Enterprise Reflection #5

In our business and Enterprise group we have just finished making all of our products.We have made around 15 bath bombs so we should be able to make a profit if we sell more then 6 of them which I think we are going to be able to do because of the demand we are getting while we were making this product as people were asking if we would save any for them. Tomorrow our group is going to make a big poster to put on our table that we have when we are selling them so people know where we are.

Business & Enterprise Reflection #4

What we are learning:

        1.  Produce a product for sale
To be successful in this you will need to  (Success Criteria):

        Show how you made the decision to make the product you chose to make.
        Promote your product.         

        Prepare a business plan (plan of action) and stick to this.
        Use the different skills of people in your company to produce your product.

        Evaluate your ideas and outcomes.

         2.  Run a profitable business.

To be successful in this you will need to:

         Stick to a given budget

         Keep track of your spending choices

         Keep financial records
         Adhere to your business plan

How I am going in my learning:I am progressing in my learning through trial and era while making my bath bombs.By changing the recipe around we figured out how to make them work.

What did I achieve Today: I achieved being able to make bath bombs that work and ended up making quite a few.

What do I need to work on tomorrow? I need to make more bath bomb mixture for the rest of my group to mold it into the shape.

Business & Enterprise Reflection 3

What am I learning: I am learning to work well as a team with my group while having a successful business.

How have I achieved my learning?  I have achieved my learning goals today by making and working well in my team to finish some adverts for our business.

What are my next steps? My next steps are to finish the adverts and start making the product to sell.

This is our business logo

Business & Enterprise Reflection 1

What am I learning: I am learning how to start a business from scratch by asking for loans & thinking of ideas such as slogans & logos.I am also learning how to be persuasive when writing my letters to ask for money so we have a better chance of actually getting the loan so we can move forward and start making our product.

How does todays work show my learning? It shows what I am learning by me having to be creative while making a logo for our business so it will be more attractive to costumers.

What is my next step? My next step is to finish the logo

Graduate Profile Goals 2017

Positive:

 I am punctual by being in the right place at the right time:

I am always on time and I really don't like it when I am late.I don't remember when i was last late to something because I always aim to be a little bit earlier.

I ask for help when I don't understand what to do:

I always ask for help as much I need because I don't like not being able to move forward in work because I like having it in time to a reasonably good standard each time and I am unable to do that if I sit there not knowing what to do.

Need more work on:

Giving better feedback:

I think I could work on this as I can tend not to give valid answer and tend just to say that it is fine when giving feedback.I can work on this by thinking about the pros and cons of whatever I am giving feedback and suggest things that could help make it better instead of just giving one sentence answers.
