Instagram post

This week students in every class at panmure bridge school has participated in creating something to sell at our school markets. My class created rainbow crayons and molded them into all types of shapes and animal sizes. In this photo it shows me & my friends promoting our class market item. In this photo we decided to sit on the hill as it is good lighting. Each of us is holding a rainbow crayon while the rest of them are in a pile near us. I had fun taking this shot because we had the chance to promot our class rainbow crayons with eachother.

Food print

This week the owner of the app Food print (michael) visited our school and talked to us about enterprise and how she got the idea. Michael showed us the procces she had to go through inable to create her own app and the pros/cons that come along with it. It was fun as we had the chance to learn of her for our school shop event. Each class will be doing shops/markets, selling what they made. What the app food print does is collect the good food that shops are waisting/throwing away for no reason & selling it for a affordble price. Michael app dosent only save food but it is good for our climate change and health. It is like uber eats but instead you pay on the app and collect your food.

Manaiakalni film festival

This week my class partnerd up with the new entrance classes to go to the manaiakalani film festival. The manaiakalani festival is when all schools create a film to represent at hoyts. All schools under manaiakalni gathers together to showcase their learning through movies. I found it fun as we had the oppertunity to watch other schools movies as they were funny and helped us learn new things.

Financial litrecy

This week for maths we learnt how to budget and save. Our school markets are coming up soon and so we decided it would be good if we knew how to run our very own workshop. To learn, we played a game using two dice. One with the letters (JJBBHH) and another regular with numbers. In our planner we recorded the Balance, Money in/out and our description of what we have sold. In this game I found it fun as we were "selling" hacky sacks, balls ect. We used counters to move up the pathway using the number dice for the amount of times we move the counter foward.

Tech Wood work

This week for tech the year 8 students were focusing on completing their desighns. Many were sanding down parts of their wood work while others focused on completing theyre joints. At tech I learnt how to cut wood using diffrent equiptment and tools. I found this fun as I finnaly saw my desighn coming together. At first I found it hard but as I tranfered to my other peice of  wood it was easier.
