Market Day

Prep

On the 6th of july ,   Our whole senior syndicate had a prep market day. Prep

is when our senior school syndicate get  into business groups and make products/services .

my group the Ballerz were running a movie service, which meant we started our service before the actual market day. We got all the customers settled and started the movie. When the movie started, we handed  out the food packs and enjoyed the movie.

On the actual day, all the groups started to set up their products. I was apart of the BANKstERS A.K.A bankers. When it started, I ran straight to the Gamer crew  group,with danielle,tim,hazel,daiara and suzy. I went to throw the ball and… MISSED !

After buying some products,Tayge and myself were running the bank. We were exchanging other customers change. When it was over, everyone helped tidy up and clean.

THAT WAS A SUPER EXPERIENCE TO SEE!

Maritime Museum

Maritime Museum

  On the 30th of June, our year 6 syndicate went on a bus to the Maritime Museum.

When we had arrived, our tour guide [Leichelle] was telling us about the schedule for that day. I was put in Group 1 with room 16 and others from my class.

Our group was sailing first , I was just sitting on this long chair holding onto the bars and watching the waves crashing  down. The waka went underneath the harbour bridge, then we went a little longer down then turned around and went back to the museum.

Next, we swapped over with group two and headed to the workshop with Leichelle.  In the workshop we watched some small clips about the polynesian Voyagers and how they traveled on the ocean. After that, at 12.00 pm this golden cannon goes off so the other workers know it was half of the day gone. And also since the voyager never had clocks, the would fire the cannon other villager knew.

Finally - LUNCH !! Our syndicate came together to have our lunch.  We had enough time to split into groups and explore the museum.  But at 1.45pm  we had to leave.

THAT WAS ONE OF THE MOST COOLEST TRIPS EVER!

Vans

Vans is my other favourite brand. Most people in class don’t like vans accept me.

Here are 3 facts about the brand !

1.  The company was originally founded by brothers Paul and Jim Van Doren. They had two partners along with them, Gordon Lee and Serge Delia.
2. Vans was founded on March 16, 1966 and opened at 704 E. Broadway in Anaheim California.
3. The first 12 customers were asked to return later in the day to pick up their shoes as a problem had arisen. They did but the brothers hadn’t any change and then asked the 12 customers to return the next day to pay, and all 12 did

Fisher and Paykel

A guy named Josh came to our classroom and talked about his job. He works at Fisher and Paykel Healthcare. We were designing a toolbox that has 25 tools and is light and is able to be carried.

Josh came around and looked at our plans, and he said my groups idea was a very fantastic idea. We were designing a briefcase design for tools.

Next time he comes to our class, we will be designing weta houses and getting his feedback!

*Making SpaniKopata Pasta*

10.5.17


Today, my class had cooking&gardening. Today I was cooking. YIPPEE!!!
1st instruction we had to do was chop of the stem of the silverbeet with a knife.

TIP- Always have a parent with you .



Next , I had to finely cut the garlic, while Suzy,Irene and Danielle
were ripping up the silverbeet. When we had finished the cutting parts, Irene was tipping the ingredients into the pan an\d started stirring. 

As soon as the food was all cooked, it was time to switch our cleaning powers on !  Girls were sweeping and washing dishes,
while the boys were setting up the table.

When the gardening group came in , everyone settled down, Hazel and Mele said the Thanks speech and they blessed the food.



Finally Tasting Time !

It was extremely tasty, but  just wasn't enough !
