Market Day 2017, How it Went

Market Day, 2017 

On Thursday 7th September it was the Wesley Intermediate Market Day. As I explained in a previous post the students of Wesley Intermediate went through the design process to create a product or service to sell at market day to the Wesley community.
The first picture is Michael Woods poising with Te Paea and the artwork he sold at his stall.
My group (Reean, Amber and Me) sold homemade muffins/cupcakes, cheesecakes and candy floss. The cheesecakes and cupcakes sold very well but because we were outside it was very windy and wet and the candy floss machine did not work very well.  So we went inside after a while but the candy floss took too long to make.
Even though we didn't do very well selling candy floss at market day we still had fun and learnt a lot.
Comment your thoughts on what I could do better next time.
Thanks 

Wesley Intermediate Market Day

Wesley Intermediate Market Day 

Wesley Intermediate are having a Market day in week seven of term three. In the weeks coming up to market day the students are asked to design a product that they will sell on the day. We then create and prototype our product until it meets the design we had in mind. 

We sell our products on market day and use the money in any way we want. My group is making candy floss and the we want our profit to go to the NZ breast cancer foundation. 

How to Create a Good Blog Post - Infographic

 Today we learnt about infographic's and then we created one. This is my one on how to create an effective blog post, I hope this advice will help you. 

Ports Of Auckland

Ports Of Auckland 

On Tuesday 21st March, room 4 went on the Ports Of Auckland trip at the Auckland Waterfront, we learnt all about the Ports Of Auckland and how they operate. I already knew that The Ports of Auckland are used for importing and exporting food and other items of use into/out of New Zealand. 

  The goods that are imported/exported into/out of Auckland are all stored in big steel containers that are loaded onto container ships that are sent to other countries. 

So I knew why the ports of Auckland is there and what it is used for, but during the trip I learnt how it operates. These are some questions that my teacher set for me after the trip. 

1. What is a Maritime Museum? 

A Maritime Museum is is a museum that has exhibition's and displays on ships and travel on large amounts of water. 

1. What is a Gantry Crane? 

A gantry crane is a type of overhead crane that is stationary so the things it has to lift have to be taken to it. 

1. What is a Plimsoll and what is it for? 

The Plimsoll line is a mark on a ship's hull that says the maximum depth that the vessel can safely be immersed when loading cargo. 

1. What are Straddles Carries for? 

Straddle Carries are used for taking the containers to the Gantry Crane to be loaded onto the container ships.

PB4L Badges

My PB4L (Positive Behaviour for learning) Badges 

In our cyber smart lesson last week we made PB4L Badges for each other. I was lucky enough to get two badges from Wynstan and Angie they made me a badge and wrote how I achieved it. I made a badges for Wynstan and Amber. I feel good to be acknowledged for something my classmates think I have achieved.   

Our Home Country's

The the longest distance one person has travelled in our class is 18,000 km to get to New Zealand.
I think I would make to choice to move to a different country because I had family over there or I did not like it in the country that I am in.
Lots of people have parents that have come from overseas, this is a trend in NZ society.
The media makes us aware of how big the world really is.

Cyber Bulling

Today we looked at cyber bulling. But instead of thinking about the bully we looked at the person being bullied. These are the answers to the questions I think would help if I was cyber bullied: 

1. The first thing I would do is go and tell somebody I trust. 

2. I would talk to a teacher or family member that I trust.  

3. I would be thinking about why people do it and who I was going to talk to. 

Sir Peter Blake

Sir Peter Blake

Sir Peter Blake was a famous New Zealand sailor, he sailed around the world and won lots of races. He was a great leader all over the world and his leadership is still celebrated by New Zealanders in the country. Because it is New Zealand leadership week we did some research on Sir Peter Blake. This is made on a website called Thinglink. It has a few links on it about Sir Peter Blake on it. Go on Thinglink and see if you can make one. 

My Passion Project

My passion Project is about underwater life. My big question is how does the underwater world work? I am trying to get as much information as I can about the underwater world. I want to be a marine biologist when I grow up because I want to help all the animals in the sea that are dying because of us.
