B + E

 For the past, around 3-2 weeks in Wānanga we have been doing B+E. B+E means Business and Enterprise. The people in my group are Shanaya, Stella and Alexia. Our CEO is Shanaya. Our business advisor is Mr Taylor. We are selling all different kinds of things. The things we are selling are bottlecap snowman, bookmarks, painted rocks and some lollies. We just thought about what we were going to sell and that is what we came up with. We will sell our product at Hornby High School. The day we are going to sell them is December 1st. There are multiple reasons why we are doing market day. One of the reasons is so we can have EOTC trips and the end of the year. Another reason is so that we can learn how it is to make a business or sell things. There are more reasons why we do market day. I think that it is good we do B+E. The reason why I think that is because we get to interact with other people and also make stuff. I think I am looking forward to seeing what people are selling. I think that the challenging part will be when we make the product. My favourite part will probably be when we are making the sign for our table. Here is a marketing DLO.

Writing

 For the past 3-5 weeks we have been doing writing. We have done lots of different types of writing. So far we have done around 9 different pieces of writing. They all have been different from the others. We also have gone outside with the teacher and she has read us some stories. All of the stories she read us have been different from the others. There are a few pieces of writing that I like. Here is one of the stories I like even though it is not finished. 

Setting: Mount Olympus
It was a calm day on the Mount. All of the demi-gods, goddesses and gods were doing something. Only the best demi-gods, goddesses and gods were on mount Olympus. All of the demi-gods were practising their powers and how it would be like in Asgard. Most of the goddesses were trying to make a new power or a new outfit for battle. Most of the gods and some of the goddesses were in the mountains hall. The reason why most of the gods and some goddesses were in them is that there were so many people intruding on Mount Olympus. Only the strongest gods and goddesses are allowed in the hall. They are trying to make a plan to close the border from Asgard and Gotham. 

Setting: Gotham
In Gotham, there were people trying to get to Mount Olympus except for Mario. Mario was practising his spells. Even though Mario isn’t a goddess or a demi, he still is treated the same. Most of the time he is helping the goddess and demi. He is known as the healer or the nicest person on Gotham. Hundreds of people come to Mario every day to get help from him. Most of the time the reason why all of the demis and goddesses are to get Mario to Mount Olympus. Sometimes the portal opens but not fully for anyone to get in. 

Setting: Gotham and soon it goes to Mount Olympus Sometimes it is big enough to fit a person but it only stays open for 3 seconds. It’s been a long time since that happened so it might happen sooner or later. Then it SUDDENLY happened…. IT OPENED. Mario was sad that he has to leave them but he knows it for the good. When Mario got through to the other side. Mario was stunned by what he can see. Soon after Mario processed what he can see he started walking up the mountain. Mario was still shocked made it to the mount.

Setting: Mount Olympus When Mario was walking up the mountain he started to feel uneasy so he looked behind him. Nothing was there so he continued walking up the mountain. Soon he felt more uneasy so he said one of his spells. The spell he said was to make him see anything that was invisible. After he said that spell he started running. While he was running he looked behind and saw a dragon. The dragon looks like it was made out of air. Then he realised that it was Annabeth’s dragon. 

Setting: Mount Olympus Annabeth is the goddess of air. She is one of the strongest goddesses. She is the 5th strongest goddess. There are only 20 of the strongest gods/goddesses. There are gods for all of the elements. The elements are air, weather, earth/nature, water, fire, light, music/sound, technology and more. There is a power of the key. Most people call the power of key and element even though it is not one. 

100 Word Challenge

 Today in Wānanga we have to do a 100-word challenge. The photo is about a water slide and pools. Here is my work. 

It was a very warm day in Whitehill. Everyone was outside doing something. I was at the pools with my friends and family. There are a lot of people there. My family paid for us to go on the waterslide. There were a lot of people going on the waterslides when we came but now there are not a lot of people going on it. There are 5 different types of pools. There are two big pools outside and 1 small pool outside as well. Inside there is 1 massive pool and 1 small pool. When you go there the place has inflatables. Soon I go on a waterslide with my cousins.

Angles

 Today in maths we had to create a slideshow about different types of angles. There are many different types of angles that we found on the slideshow. On the slideshow, we have to do put pictures of what angle it is on the slide. Here is the slideshow.

Financial Literacy

 For the past 2 weeks in wga, we have been looking at financial literacy. The reason why we have been looking at that is because we are starting B & E next week and we have to get ready for it. B & E is business and enterprise. We have to do some work on financial literacy. We have 3 tasks to do. We could work by ourselves or do it with a partner. I choose to do it with a partner. Here is my work and answers.

Making A Brand

Yesterday in hurumanu/maths I finished my work and started doing work we are meant to do the next day. We finished the work today. The work we did is create our own brand. You could do it by yourself or with a partner. I choose to do it with a partner. My partner is my friend Alexia. We have to make a copy of a drawing and put stuff on it. The stuff we put on it is a colour plate, inspiration, other ideas, what our text will look like. We choose to make our brand plush key chains. We also made a logo. We have to say what aspect of Te Whare Tapa Wha it is in. I think it would mostly fit in Taha Hinengaro. The reason why I think it would fit in there is because it would help with stress. Here is our work. 

Persuasive Writing review

 Today in wananga we are doing a review on persuasive writing. The reason why is because we have a test later on in the term. We have to write about the importance of business and enterprise in school. Year 7s have to write 2 paragraphs. Year 8-9s have to do 4-5 paragraphs. Here is what I wrote.



I think that it is important to learn about business and enterprise in school. It is important to learn business and enterprise because if you don't know about it you won't know what to do in the future. If you don't know what business and enterprise are you won't know how to do a proper budget, be smart with money and more. Business and enterprise in school are learning what to do with money and what it is like to make a small business.

If you do business and enterprise in school you could do a market day. Market day is where you spend around 7-8 weeks on making a small business. In your small business, you are making products for you to sell. You are making a logo/sign to put in front of your table. When it is market day you will have a table for you to put your products on it. You will put your logo/sign on the front of the table.

If you don't do business and enterprise in school and you want to start a business you won't know how to. You won't know how to make a budget, how to make a plan, how to start it or maybe even what to do.  Them are some reason why it is important to do business and enterprise in school. Another reason why it is important to learn about business and enterprise in school is if you don't know how to promote your business if you are making one.

 These were the reasons why I think it is important to do business and enterprise in school. You need to learn about business and enterprise because in the future you will know what to do.
