Business Studies - Borrowing Flowchart

Today in Business Studies we had to choose one activity out of two activitys and they were to create a flowchart to help direct people on making smart decision when it comes to borrowing money OR to create a infographic to help people understand what credit is, the pros and cons of loans, and how to make a smart decision on how to choose who to get a loan from. I chose to do the first one because it was the easiest one to do and mostly everyone was doing it. Here is the flowchart that I have created.  

I think I worked quiet well because I got this task down in the period that was given to us. I added a bit of information on what you have to do to get a loan. I completed the flow chart and it was quiet fun to do and make because it was very easy. I would do this again for a different subject.

Have you made a decision on if you want to get a loan or not from my flowchart?

I got all of this information from myself because I have learnt all of this, this term in Business Studies.

Health - Cannabis Discovery Task

For the last month or so in Health we have been set a task to create a presentation about a topic of our choice but before we created the presentation we had to plan out\r questions for our topic so we know what to research about. First we had to choose a topic on what we want to do.

Here are our choices for out topic:

- Gender issues in sport

- Discrimination or racism

- Drugs on the mind & body

- Effects of gaming on the mind & body

- Steroids in sports

- Illness (pick one)

- Effects of social media on the mind

-  Brain development during teenage years/neuroscience

- Coping strategies in practise

- Binge drinking

- Mental health/the mind

- Vaping

OR any relevant health topic that is approved by your teacher

My topic that I chose to do was cannabis because it is an interesting topic to do. After we had chosen our topic we had to create 5 big questions to find out for our topic. After that we had to answer them 5 big questions so we knew what to write when we had to create a activity to present this on. Then we had to explain how it will improve wellbeing in the short term and long term. After that we had to create our activity to present. I chose to present this activity on prezi.

Here is a link to my planning sheet:

Plan a social event - Business Studies

For the last 2 weeks in Business Studies we had to chose one out of two task for this activity and the two activitys were we had to chose to plan a sports event or a social event and I chose to plan a social event because it was the easiest one to do. For the social event we had to make considerations for our planning and the planning considerations were we had to choose a venue, lighting, security, band/dj, drinks, food, decorations, cleaning supplies, cups/plates that you can hire and advertising/marketing. 

Here is photo of the whole planning sheet:

Science - Distillation Experiment

Today in Science we are doing a distillation experiment and there are 2 parts to the experiment. The first part of the experiment is evaporation and what is going to happen is there is going to be a liquid which is turning into gas and that = heat. The second part of the experiment is condensation and what is going to happen is there is going to be a gas which is turning into a liquid and that = cooling.

Aim: To separate a solution (Coke / Coke Zero) to form a solid + a liquid.

Hypothesis: I think that the coke inside the conical flask is going to evaporate through the delivery tube and the liquid will turn clear inside the test tube. The reason the coke is going to evaporate is because when the coke gets heated by the bunsen burner, the coke is going to boil up with is going to make the coke evaporate. I think that both liquids will be the same for both cokes because it will lose the solids added to both of them. In the regular coke I think the sugar will stay as a solid while most of the other products in the solution will be a liquid. In the coke zero I think instead of the sugar the sweetener will stay solid/

Equipment: A solution of coke / diet coke, conical flask, heatproof mat, a delivery tube and bung, Bunsen burner, tripod, gauze mat, retort stand, boss head and clamp, test tube.

Method:

1. Set up the equipment as shown in the diagram.

2. Add approximately 50mL of coke to your conical flask.

3. Light your Bunsen burner, open the air hole and gently push your Bunsen burner under the tripod.

4. Heat the solution until most of the solvent has been evaporated. Turn off your Bunsen burner.

Observation: What I saw happened was the coke boiled under the heat and the liquid evaporated through the delivery tube. We caught the liquid and it was clear while the solid stayed in the flask. The solid that was left was sugar. The sugar in the coke zero was like a small brown sludge like the regular coke but looked more like dust.

Conclusion: My hypothesis was correct because like I said in my hypothesis, the coke would boil because it was getting heated by the bunsen burner which made the coke evaporate through the delivery tube. The liquid that was trapped in the test tube was clear like i said in my hypothesis as well. The regular coke had more sugar because their was more solids in the regular coke than their were in the coke zero.

Here are photos of our setup and our experiment:

Business Studies - Social event or Sports event

 This week in Business Studies we have been learning how to plan out a social or a sports event using budgeting. First we had to get into pairs or you could be by yourself within our table, I chose to do it on my own because I wanted to do it myself and it was a bit more easier. After that we had to choose 1 out of 2 options, the 2 options were to plan out a social event or to plan out a sports event. I chose to plan out a social event because it was the easiest one to do and mostly everyone was doing it. If you chose to do a social event you had to click on a link and if you were to do a sports event you had to click on that link, it would take you to a page were it told you what you had to plan out and how much your budget was. The budget that everyone had was $5,000. Here is a photo of what it looked liked.

Here is a link to my plan to make a social event.

House party:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vS1RXKA0GlWm4wtVVSRx5K-QpF369U9wFADNMsGX0NMzkg1AcOrwic9wcZdM3lPE8KyU2Yue-_93FAa/pub

Overall spent: $4,990

Surplus: $10.00

I think I worked well because I got the task done and have got it onto my blog. I think I did well because I put a lot of information in it and put in the correct cost and prices. It was probably one of my favourite tasks we have done yet because It gave us a chance to organize a social event for people to go to. Unfortunately we wernt making a social event for people to actually go to, it was just to see if we could get the task done or not to be able to organize a social event. 

Would you come to my party if you had the chance to?

Smoothies - Home Economics

 Today in HE we made smoothies and some were delicious and some were gross. When we got into the kitchen we did our per usual things as I always say at the start on every HE blog post. When we were finished doing that we went to our working table each group had a different recipe to make smoothies. Our group had to make the mango and banana smoothie and it was alright, when every group finished making there smoothies we had to go around each table and try them to see what one was better and we had to write it down with the results. Here are all of the ingredients for the smoothies and the full results. 

...........................................................................................................................................................................

The frozen fruit yogurt smoothie: 

Ingredients:

Sorry but I forgot to to write down the ingredients

Results:

9/10

This smoothie was quiet thick but it taste delicious, this smoothie actually was 1 of the best smoothies that one group made today. This smoothie actually tasted like a smoothie but the other ones just tasted like a soft drink.

The flavour was quiet delicious with all of the fruit that they had in it

I definitely would have again

........................................................................................................................................................................

Fresh fruity breakfast smoothie:

Ingredients:

1 cup cold milk or soy milk

1 weet-bix (crumbled up)

1 banana, chopped

1/2 cup fresh or frozen berries

Results:

1/10

This smoothie mostly tasted like a weet-bix smoothie and it was awful. I love weet-bix by itself but not in a smoothie.

The smoothie was very thick, chewy and disgusting. It was not a smoothie it was like a chewy disgusting thick shake. This would be good for a morning smoothie / thick shake as it has weet-bix in it

I would definitely not have it again.

........................................................................................................................................................................

Peach yogurt smoothie:

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup sliced peaches (fresh, frozen, or well drained tinned chopped peaches)

1/2 cup Greek yogurt

1/2 cup very cold milk (best frozen in an ice cube tray beforehand)

1 T honey

Vanilla ice cream (optional ingredient)

Results:

Sorry but I forgot to write down the results for this smoothie

...........................................................................................................................................................................

 Super berry smoothie: 

Ingredients:

125g frozen mixed berries eg raspberries, strawberry's, blueberry's

125ml yogurt

50ml cold milk

10 - 15g rolled oats

1 tsp honey

Results:

1/10

This smoothie tasted very sour and it tasted disgusting. The smoothie was very chewy and thick and it just wasn't the one for me

I probably would have again

..........................................................................................................................................................................

Easy banana ice cream smoothie: Was made in a food processor

Ingredients:

2 or 3 bananas (peeled, sliced and frozen)

Results:

6/10

This smoothie tasted quiet nice and cold because the bananas were very cold from when they were in the freezer for a few hours.

The texture was quiet thin and chewy, the texture was also very runny 

I probably would have again

...........................................................................................................................................................................

Our group: Mango and banana smoothie

Ingredients:

½ tin well drained mango slices (cut into pieces)

1 banana - sliced

200ml orange juice or pineapple juice (cold)

½ small apple - optional (cut into small pieces)

2 or 3 small ice cubes

Results:

8/10

Our smoothie tasted quiet sweet and moist, It was good compared to most of the groups

The flavour was alright but it wasn't the best but It would of been better if there was ice.

From my perspective I probably wouldn't have often but I would have it again sometime

........................................................................................................................................................................

The mystery smoothie:

For this smoothie no one knew what was in this smoothie except for the group that had made this smoothie. In this smoothie there was a special ingredient that no one knew what it was.

Ingredients:

Ice cream

Yogurt

Mixed berry's eg  raspberries, strawberry's, blueberry's

Milk

Weet-bix

Honey

Vanilla essence

Results:

12/10

This smoothie was the best one of all because it was just right, it had all of the ingredients mixed together and it was delicious. I was surprised because I didn't know there was honey or vanilla essence in it until our teacher told us all of the ingredients.

I definitely would have it again, I could have it everyday if I could.

The special ingredient was the vanilla essence

...........................................................................................................................................................................

Here are photos of us making the smoothie and our ingredients:

Dilution Experiment - Science

Definition for Dilution: Making something less concentrated. There will be less particles in the liquid.

Concentration: How strong something is.

Aim: To make a dilution series to investigate concentration.

Hypothesis: I think the first test tube will have the most dilute liquid because it would have more added to it in the start.

Equipment:

A potassium permanganate crystal

Six large test tubes

Tweezers

A plastic transfer pipette

A test tube rack

10 mL measuring cylinder

Method:

1. Place the six test tubes in a test tube rack. Label the rack with numbers 1-6

2. Using the measuring cylinder, fill test tube 1 with 10 mL of water. Fill the remaining test tubes with 5 mL

of water.

3. Using your tweezers, add a single crystal of potassium permanganate to test tube 1

4. Gently shake the test tube until the crystal has dissolved.

5. Using the transfer pipette, carefully remove exactly 5 mL from test tube 1 and pour it into test tube 2.

6 Rinse the transfer pipette thoroughly to ensure that no purple solution remains.

7. Gently shake test tube 2 and repeat the transfer process, transferring exactly 5 mL of solution from test

tube 2 to test tube 3.

8. Rinse the pipette again and repeat the transfer process for test tube 4, 5 and 6.

Was my hypothesis right: Yes because overtime the mixture was more watery and watered down. This makes it more dilute, and the first one was the least dilute

How do I know how this happen: This happens by the mixture overtime become more dilute as it was moved more into more water.

Here is a photo of our experiment

Filtration Experiment - Science

 Aim: Separate a mixture we have made using filtration.

Hypothesis: I think that it will just mix the two colours together and I think they wont separate because they are both liquid. I also think that when the copper sulfate goes through the filter paper and the funnel the colour will change from blue to clear. The things we are mixing in copper sulfate which is blue and sodium carbonate which is clear. I think it will go pale blue because one of the liquids are different and different coloured. Since they are both liquids they will not split and both liquids will go through the filter 

Equipment:

Copper sulfate

Conical flask

Stirring rod

200mL, beaker

Funnel

Filter paper

Method: 

1. Pour approximately 50ml of copper sulfate solution into a beaker.

2. Add the same volume of sodium carbonate solution. A reaction will happen, you should see a cloudy blue precipitate form. Called copper carbonate.

3. Watch demo then fold filter paper to fit inside the funnel 

4. Place the funnel with the filter paper inside of it, into the mouth of a conical flask

5. Stir the mixture in the beaker, then carefully pour it into the funnel.

6. Observe what happened

Observations: When we mixed the the copper sulfate and sodium carbonate the mixture flips and is now copper carbonate and sodium sulfate. Because of this happening the copper carbonate now is insoluble and wont dissolve making it a solid that wont dissolve. 

Since we now have a solid in a mixture some part of it wont go through the filter making it clear in the beacon after the blue is filtered out.

Here are the photos of the experiment.

Rice paper spring rolls - Home Economics

 Today in Home Economics we made rice paper spring rolls. First when we got into the kitchen we did our per usual thing which is to put on out aprons, wash our hands, Wash our working table and look at the recipe so you know what you are making. I dont know know why everytime I make a blog for home economics I always say what we do when we first get into the kitchen. Here are the ingredients that we used.

Ingredients:

12 rice paper sheets

½ avocado, sliced

½ cup coriander, chopped roughly

¼ cup Thai
basil leaves

1 carrot, sliced finely

¼ cucumber, sliced finely

1 cup lettuce, sliced finely

½ cup bean sprouts

¼ cup peanuts, roasted and chopped

½ cup cooked chicken, sliced

Here is a photo of the recipe we used.

Sorry I took photos but I dont know where they went.

Skills learnt - How to make rice paper spring rolls

Sensory evaluation - The rice paper spring rolls wernt that nice because of the texture, the texture tasted really tangi and the feel of the rice paper spring rolls in your mouth feels like a wet condom. It would of been better if there were sauces to choose from. We had no chicken so it didn't taste that nice.

Rate the food: 5/10

Could do differently: What we could of did differently was to make sure that there was all of the ingredients we needed especially some sauces and chicken to go in them. If the rice paper didn't feel like a condom and there was all of the ingredients the springs rolls would of been good,

How did the team work together: The team worked really good this time because everyone was there and participating. The team worked good because everyone was helping getting the ingredients and heling each other. 

Business Studies - Budgeting guide

 This week In Business we are still learning about budgeting and what it is. We are doing the same thing as last week where we have to pick one thing to do out of 2 things and the two things are to create a budgeting guide to help other learn budgeting skills. Explain what budgeting is and what key things to keep in mind when creating a budget. Present this creatively Or to create a screencastify sharing a budget you have created and explain what a budget is and why you have designed the budget the way you have. I choose to do the first one because it is the easiest one for me cause I dont like my voice to be videoed. 

Here is my budgeting guide that I have made.

Reflection:

I think I did well with this activity because I did an a entire presentation for this activity and have wrote heaps of information to help people know what happens if you don't have a budget and all those sorts of things. 

PE - Gymnastics

 In PE for the last 2 weeks we have been doing gymnastics and learning some gymnastic basics. The first day of gymnastics we watched some videos of people doing really cool gymnastics and videos of people doing gymnastics and injuring themselves to show that gymnastics is dangerous and you need to take it seriously. After that we went into the gym to do some exercises and stretches before we got into doing gymnastics. 

The first thing I saw when I walked into the gym I saw the trampoline so I went straight to it and was the first one on it. I like the gymnastic trampolines because they are bigger and way bouncer. After that I went to the bar and stuff on there that we got told. Then I went onto the beam and did some stuff on that, that we had to do.

The next day when we did PE there was a mini tramp right next to the big mats so I went there just to play around and jump on people off from the mini tramp. Next I went to the funnest thing in the gym with was the trampoline and on a peice of paper it had things to do on the tramp. Then I went to the bar and did some things on that, then I went onto the beam and did some jumps over the cone and it was quiet hard.

Here is the photo of the peice of paper with all of the things we had to do on the trampoline.

Here is a photo of the trampoline.

Home Economics - Steak Sandwiches

This week in HE we made steak sandwiches and they were way better and delicious than I thought they would be like. First when we got into the kitchen we got our aprons on, washed our hands and washed our table ready to cook. After that we got our recipe and looked at it. Then we got our mese on play ready and if you don't know what that is it is where we have to get our ingredients ready on our table for the lesson. After that we started cooking.

Ingredients:

- Lettuce

- Steak

- Cheese

- Tomato

- 3 bread buns

- Mayo

- Tomato sauce

- Seasoning

Here is a photo of the recipe for the steak sandwiches.

Here is a photo of our ingredients.

Here are a couple of photos of the steak cooking.

Skills learnt: How to cook stripes of steak

Sensory Evaluation: The steak sandwiches tasted really good because the steak was seasoned almost perfectly and the steak wasn't chewy. It looked like a steak sandwich but in a bread roll not in pieces of bread. The smell was amazing because the steak was seasoned good which maked it smelt better.

Rate the food: 9/10

Could do differently: What we could of did differently was to make sure the whole team was there because one of my teammates was there for about 20 minutes and then he went to sport photos and the other two people were at the sport photos for the whole lesson until the end.

How did the team work together: The team worked badly because Tobey and I was the only one in the team for about 20 minutes but the steak sandwich's turned out better than they would if the team was there. 

Sorry I forgot to take the photos of the finished product, I am really bad at taking photos because when I am doing something that I like I forget to take photos.

Business Studies - Budgeting language dictionary

 In Business studies we are learning about budgeting and what it is. When we first learnt about it we had to do a couple of activitys about what is budgeting and now we are doing this blog post for out report for business studies. For this blog post we have to chose 1 activity out of 2 of them and I chose the second one because it is much easier. The activity I chose was you have to make a budgeting language dictionary explaining what each term is and how it relates to budgeting. 

Here is my budgeting language dictionary.

Budget - Budget is where you have money available to spend. If you dont have a limit its important because it helps you limit your odds of going into a deficit.

Spend - Spend is where you buy something using money for example you have to give money to pay for goods or services otherwise you don't get it. If you want a house, a car or something you have to give the money to the owner to be able to purchase it.

Savings - Savings it where you have extra money that you haven't spent yet, If you have spend the money you have for your budget it is always good to have saving because then you can use it.

Price - Price is the amount of money expected to be given to the owner that is selling the product or something else that has a price on it.

Needs - Needs is something that is essential to your life for example you need education to get somewhere in life you may not want it but you really need it in the real world, you need to be good at maths, spelling reading and the essential things you need to know.

I think I did quiet good because I wrote heaps of information to help people understand what each word meant. I got some of this information from dictionary.com for reference and then I put it into my own words.

Science - Mixture and Dissolving experiment

Today in science we did an experiment to see how long it takes for something to desolve in water. First when we got into the science class we did a pre-test on quizlet about mixing and separating for our experiment that we did afterwards. When we started the experiment this is what we had to do.

First we got the equipment ready before we did the experiment.

Equipment:

- A big beaker

- Spatula

- Sugar

- Water

Aim: To find out how long it takes for the sugar to desolve in different situations

Then we did the experiment.

This experiment has four parts to it so you can test the speed that it takes to dissolve and to see the dissolving rate.

Method: 

1. Put 50mls of cold water into the big beaker and put one spatula of sugar into the beaker and start a timer and stir consistently until the sugar dissolves

2. Put 50mls of hot water into the big beaker and put one spatula of sugar into the beaker and start a timer and stir consistently until the sugar dissolves

3. Put 50mls of cold water into the big beaker and put one spatula of sugar into the beaker and start a timer then wait until it dissolves (DO NOT STIR)

4. Put 50mls of hot water into the big beaker and put one spatula of sugar into the beaker and start a timer then wait until it dissolves (DO NOT STIR)

Results: These times are the total and average times for all the groups in our class.

1. Total: 274sec Average: 54sec

2. Total: 119sec Average: 29.75sec

3. Total: 381sec Average: 76.2sec

4. Total: 819sec Average: 163.8sec

Our results:

1. For the first experiment we got 59sec

2. For the second experiment we got 25sec

3. For the third experiment we got 90sec

4. For the fourth experiment we got 360sec

Discussion:

Our results made sense because the one that was the fastest combined two things that speed up the time of dissolving. This is because when you add heat and stir it add speed to the matter and it starts to dissolve.

The results also show that the one with nothing that affects the time it takes to dissolve will end up as the slowest.

We started with sugar and water and at the end we ended up with sugarwater

Here are the photos of the equipment we used.

Sorry I didn't take any photos when we were doing the experiment it was because we were having to much fun doing the experiment so we forgot.

The Marketing Mix - Place

 In Business Studies we have been continuing on doing the 4 blog posts for our assesment about market day, this is the third blog post so far which is about the place on where we are going to sell our products and there is 1 more blog post to go to finish this assesment. 

Where will you be producing your product? (do you need a specific space)

- We will be producing our product outside where our stand is going to be to sell our products. We need to be outside because if we are selling all of our products there will be alot of people and we need to be somewhere that is hot so then the food dont go cold.

Where would be a good location for your product on market day? (Inside, outside, quiet corner, middle of the room)

- A good location would be outside where there is sun so then when the sausage sizzle is cooked they need to stay hot. The location needs to be in a cold area as well so then the toffee apples can stay cold and not hot so then they can taste better.

Pedestrian and traffic flow (does your business rely on people walking pass or is your product unique enough that people will seek you out?

- Yes our business is going to make people come and buy all of it because I just have a feeling it will and everyone loves sausage sizzle on a nice day and toffee apples as a treat.

Competition - who else will be selling similar products to you on market day? How will your product stand out?

- I am not sure because I dont know if anyone is doing the same thing as us on market day

The Marketing Mix - Price

In business studies we have been continuing on doing the 4 blog posts for our assesment about market day. This is the second blog post so far which is about the price of our product that we making and selling. After this blog post I have 2 more blog posts to go about the place and promotion and then I am done for this assesment about market day

 How did you work out what price you were going to sell your product at?

- We were thinking of an reasonable price for the toffee apples and the sausage sizzles because if we were going to see the products at a expensive price then no one will buy the products and we wouldn't make any profit. We decided to make the toffee apples $1.50 and $2.00 for the sausage sizzles because if you see people selling sausages outside of the warehouse or somewhere they are about $2.00 each and there is alot of people buying them.

How will you ensure that your product is worth the price you are asking people to pay (quality control)?

- The toffee apples are worth the product because they are $1.50 each and that is a very cheap price for a big item. They are worth the price because mostly everyone likes to eat a candy covered in a apple because it is delicious and it is fun to eat with. The sausage sizzles are worth the product because they are $2.00 each and that is quiet cheep for a sausage and everyone love sausage sizzle

What price are others (B&E group/real world business) charging for the same good (use a table to show this)?

- There is a another group doing sausage sizzle but I am not sure how much they are selling it for or what their business is called

What else will you consider when it comes to the price of your product?

- Our group have not considered doing anything else for the price, it is still the same

The marketing mix - Product

In business studies we have been doing blog posts for our assesment about market day. we have to do 4 blog posts for this assesment and the 4 blog posts are product, price, place and promotion. This is the first blog post so far. For the last 2 weeks for market day we have been planning out what we are going to create and sell. Our products that we are creating and selling are toffee apples and sausage sizzle because we have experience of making toffee apples and cooking sausage sizzle and because we like cooking and baking cause it is easy to make.

(Features) What is the product, what can they do, how are they used, what is their purpose?

- The product is a food item that you can eat and sell for a bit of money. The toffee apples are covered in toffee and are on a stick so then it is used by holding the stick to eat the toffee apple so the toffee doesn't get onto your fingures. The purpose is to make people want to buy a delicious food because people like a treat and food every now and again

What quality is your product?

- The product toffee apples are going to be in all different sizes because apples come in all different sizes anyway. The toffee apples are going to be blue and red because they are colours that stand out and the texture will be quiet hard because toffee is hard. The sausage sizzle will taste like a normal sausage with bread and sauce but we might get spicy sausages or chicken sausages just to make it different, the texture is going to be like a normal sausage because the texture isn't going to be any different.

Size / Volume / shape?

- The product toffee apples are going to be in all different sizes because apples come in all different sizes anyway. The shape of the toffee apples are going to be circle like the apples are normally are. The size on the sausage depends on what it is because american hotdogs are long and skinny but normal cheese sausages are big and not that long. The shape of the sausages are going to be kind of like a long oval shape but I don't really know what shape they are. 

Packing?

- The sausage sizzle isn't going to have any packaging because sausages don't have packaging cause they are hot and cooked. The toffee apples might have packaging but we haven't decided yet because we don't know what they would be packed in.  

Ingredients / Raw materials

- The ingredients that we are using for the toffee apples are 20 apples, sugar, water, cream of tarter, food colouring and vinegar. The ingredients that we are using for the sausage sizzles are bread, onion, butter, sauce and sausages. The raw materials that we might be using are for the packaging for the toffee apples but we don't know what packaging we are using yet if we are using it.

Does it fit into a category of products that already exist?

- Candy apples, sausage sizzle

Do you need to provide any services for your product

-  No services need to be provided

Tongan Language Week

Today In Wanaga we have been learning about Tongan language week because this week is Tongan week. We had to make a slideshow about Tongan language and we had to include these things flag, map, attraction, sayings - phrases, food / drink, dances, fun facts, clip / video, traditional dress and images. Here is my slideshow that I made.

Sustainability - Summary

For the last 13 weeks of this Hurumanu called sustainability we have done many things about sustainability and other things about the world. This was probably the best hurumanu so far this year because we could listen to music, eat when we are doing our work and we could drink when ever we want and but most importantly doing all of the fun work we had to do. I thing I like about our teacher Mr Carter is he actually explains the activity or the work we have to do properly and he also actually explains the topic we are learning about properly so we actually know what to do. But most teachers just say what we have to do and doesn't explain it that much.

For the first week of this hurumanu we watched a documentary on Netflix on Coronavirus and how it was made and developed. Then we were looking about sustainability and what it is. In the second week of this hurumanu we were learning about statistical inquiry and how to collect our data using graphs. The graphs we used were pie, bar, line and stacked bar graphs I used the pie or the stacked bar graph because they are the easier ones. In the third week of this hurumanu we were looking at natural resources and more of sustainability but first we did a few activitys about natural resources but before that we learned about what are natural resources and their definitions. In week four we watched some videos about writing and why we do it, then we were learning about writing on sustainability issues. In week five we did a writing (cont) and research about sustainability issues. In week six-eight we did some maths and been learning about area, population and calculations on mathletics, our teacher also taught us about measurements. Then in week eight we learnt about applications of area, perimeter and volume so what we did with that is we made things with 3D on tinkercad. In week nine we did a revision and a catch up on mathletics and then we did a assesment on mathletics. In week nine-thirteen we did a sustainability report on a topic of our choice. Towards this topic we did a research about our topic for our essay that we did. After that a few weeks after that we got to choose to make a game on game fruit or on a game website or we got to make a board game about a sustainability topic. My group chose to make a board game but we didn't have enough time to finish making the board, we did our board based of monopoly and gumption.

Here is a photo of our board that we didn't get to finish because we didn't have enough time. I dont like any of the colours but we did the board game about endangered animals. Here is the draft and planning on making the board game.

Critical reflection:

I really liked this hurumanu because it was very fun to do and I learned alot on sustainability and writing. I would of liked Mr Carter to give us more time on this board game so we could finish it.
