How does this work shos my learning
 My learning shows by producing a good catchy jingle for our ad and participating in the filming

What am I wondering?
I am wondering if our ad is gonna win and get submitted in time.

(Brief) 

Raising Seeds

Aim: To look at the different growing conditions and how these affect the growth of seeds.

Method:

We worked in groups of 3-4 students
Potting mix was put into the cups.
The cups were planted with radish seeds
Each cup had different growing conditions

Cup 1 - Normal
Cup 2 - Red cellophane
Cup 3 - Over watered
Cup 4 - Under watered or green cellophane

The plant grew in their cups for 10 days before they were measured

1. bl - 60.9mm
2. ow - 10mm
3. rl - 70mm
4. normal - 10.5mm
5.cl - 60mm

Therefore the best growing condition is the cup with the red cellophane because the plant grew to 70mm

Traditional Tales

In English, we have been creating figures using clay, drawing, and coloring to retell the traditional tales, Myths, Fables, and Legends. We are allowed to read a book or watch a movie based on the topic. And we choose what category and what story are we gonna pick, for me I picked Legends.

The Legend I chose is Medusa and Perseus. I retold the story by making a static image of Medusa with her head been cut off. because in the story Perseus had have been given a quest by a king to cut off her head and bring it to him. The king wants to kill her because Medusa is a beast who killed lots of warriors and turned them into stone, So that's, why he asked Perseus to, kill her.

Who is Medusa?

Medusa was born Phorcys and Ceto known was the "Gorgons". Medusa is one of the Gorgon Sisters who possesses snake lock's because they were a punishment from "Athena" (the goddess of wisdom and war). Athena punished her to have a hideous appearance and loathsome snakes for hair for having been raped in Athena's temple by "Poseidon" (The Goddess of Horses, Sea, and Earthquakes)

I also learned about the differences between Myths, Legends, Tales, and Fables.

Myths are stories that try to explain how our world works and how we should treat each other. People have always come up with a thought of How did our world come to be? or Why is the Ocean blue? Some myths answered these questions.


Legends are also fictional stories, but they are different from myths. Legends are based on real people who lived in more recent times and are mentioned in history. Legends are told for purpose and are based on facts, but they are not completely true.

Fables are a fictional story naturally a short story, typically with animals as characters, and also often teach moral values.

Tales/Fairy Tales are stories written often for children. It often uses magical characters for example elves, fairies, wizards, dragons, dwarves, goblins giants etc..

Maths

In Maths we have learned how to create a dot plot and how it works

-Dot plot uses a marked scale

-Each time an item is counted, it is marked by dots.

Making a three piece wooden puzzle

In Tech we have been making a 3 piece puzzle. Making this puzzle includes planning, researching, and drawing

1.Planning/Research:

Our teacher showed us a video of how to make the puzzle. Before we start making it first we need a plan and to research.

2.Paper plans:

Image


3. Transferring

I first I copied the template showed then I copied it into my piece of wood and then I marked the pieces that were needed to be cut

4. How did you make it?

1. We first searched the image of the puzzle so that we know how it looks like
2. We then draw the template on paper
3. We then transferred the template to the piece of wood
4. And then I cut off the unwanted pieces to the puzzle
5. I then made sure that my puzzle works and fits through the holes
6. I then sanded the pieces to make it smooth
7. I then coated the pieces with polyurethane so it doesn't wear off easily and then I'm done

Outcome

Problem Solving

LO: Communicate what you have learnt and how you will apply what you know to the Year 9 Business Kete...

What did you learn about? 

I learned how to manage problems and how to find ways to solve the problem. I also learned how to manage your temper and how to keep calm while the problem is occurring

When discussing "thought Challenges"  what did you notice about yourself?

I notice that I started to fix the problem while in an assertive mode not by aggressive

What solutions can you try when you face a challenge during the Business & Enterprise Kete? Give an example.

During the Business & Enterprise kete, I will solve the problem by talking passively and calmly cause they would get angry if I yell at them. And I will tell them to calm and start to think of some solutions to solve our problem.
