Market Day Reflection

I bet most of you know about what St Bernadette's School did last Friday, if you guessed we had a Market Day your correct! Each class had to sell something and my class (Room 5) We selled Waffles, Pie face, Briquettes, Wet Sponges, Spiders and lastly Mrs Lee's lolly jar!  Now lets talk about what I did at Market day:

So since I was in the Choir I had to come back at 12:30PM. Then we went to go and do some silent reading in the staff room cause we needed to ready some stuff and everything just gets boring-er and boring-er, but wait... After we started to set up some stuff we started Market Day! Not a lot of people came but Mr Norman did and he got smacked really hard and he started to bleed! I felt sorry but it was pretty funny. After a wee while two of our group member went to go and look around and then they came back and so me and my other group mate went to go and look around and I saw my brother and he wanted to go and get his hair, hair sprayed and so that's what I went to do. 

I didn't buy anything because I didn't have any more money left so then I went back to the stall with Ella, and then I saw one of my teammate was smacking someone with the pie face and it was really funny cause all the whip cream went everywhere.  But then the bell rang and so it was time for me to go home, but then my brother wanted lemonade from his class (Room 1). So we went to get some lemonade and then went home.

So that's what I did on Market day just some simple things and I didn't get to see what some of the other classes made but it's fine!

What would you sell on Market Day?

Why or Why not?

Market Day!

On Friday we are holding a Market day at St Bernadette's! Each class will be selling some things like for example Room 1 is going to be selling some Lemonade, I know that cause my brothers told me, and I don't really know what the other classes are going to be selling but I know what my class is going to be selling, we're going to be selling Spiders and that is when they have like a cup and we're going to be filling the cup half full with fizzy drinks and then like a scoop of ice cream on top, we're also going to be selling waffles, and Mrs Lee is going to be getting a whole jar of lollies and you have to guess how much lollies are in the jar and if you get it right you get the whole jar! We will also be selling some pie face stuff and there will be 2 different types of pie face stuff and we will get onto that soon. And we're going to be selling Briquettes and we have been making this since last term and its like something to put in your  and it's made out of paper with pine needles in some of them. The last thing we are going to be selling is wet sponges and that is when one of the kiwi can leaders will stand up and you have to pay to get a throw at the kiwi can leaders with obviously wet sponges.

So those were all the things that my class (Room 5) will be selling. Market day starts at 2:00PM to 4:00PM. But anyways we will also be having a Mufti day on Market day, and you also have to bring a gold coin so we can get in some more money for the kapa haka uniforms. And the money we get after Market Day we're going to use as a class treat for the end of the year. Anyways in Room 5 we got into groups and making posters for each thing we are going to sell, in my group was Ella, Jorja, Zipporah and Me. We had to make individual posters, and we were doing posters about pie face, so Ella and Jorja made the pie face game poster and me and Zipporah made the whip and nae pie face poster so here is mine:

We also have each made an instruction poster about it as well so here is mine:

Can't wait to see you there!

The Fantastico Printmaking

This term for Term 4! And for Integrated Learning we have been learning about what our Taonga is, and I know I already told you guys about what a Taonga is and I posted 2 blog posts about it so this is going to be my third post about our Taonga. This blog post is about my Culture flowers. So I'm going to tell you guys the step by step process of making my Filipino Flower.

The first thing my class had to do was to find a picture of our Cultures Like National Flower, then we had to get an A4 piece of paper and then fold it into quarters, and do 4 drawings on our National flower, after we had to choose which was was our favorite and then get like a cardboard piece of paper and trace the one that you liked on to the cardboard piece of paper. The next thing we had to do after we traced it we had to get another cardboard piece of paper and then the one that we traced we had to put it on top of the other piece of paper then get a pen or pencil and use it to press really hard on the traced paper so then the paper on the bottom will have an outline of it. But we had to first do it on the main bits the to the detail bits like the lines on the leaf. So then we had to cut out the different bits the clue them on a squared piece of cardboard. Then we got tooken to a dying table so we could use some rollers to put some dye on to the cardboard and this is how my turned out:

Then what we had to do next was we had to get a piece of paper to practice pressing it down so here is my practice bits:

And here is my final draft and i'm really proud!:

Something I found difficult was drawing it cause I wanted to make my culture happy and I wanted it to be perfect, something I enjoyed was rolling it because it was cool to see how it looked like if the colors would mix and how it would turn out as!

You better stay tuned for more of my Taonga work!

My Taonga

WALT define and identify our own "Taonga".

In term 4, for Integrated Learning, my class has been talking about what a Taonga is. Taonga is a Maori word that means like something is your Treasure and like someone or something that is prized to you and something that like means a lot to you.

In term 3, in the last few days we would go to a Life education van and there was a girl called Amanda and she talked about having a strong core and having a big flex. And that means to have nobody make fun of your core and your core is like your "Taonga" and that is what makes you have a big flex!

Mrs Lee showed us some pictures that could be our Taonga, so we had to think what was really important to us and what is like Treasure to us. After we thought about what our "Taonga" was we had to make a poster about who or what is our "Taonga".

We could make it a digital poster or hand written poster so like on paper. I decided to make my poster on paper cause I though that it would be good to show what my "Taonga" is if I written it with like my hand and show that it's from the heart!

Here is my Poster:

Instead of writing our "Taonga" we had to draw what our "Taonga" was.

One of my Taongas was my family because like my family means a lot to me because they help me with everything I do they make me food. They all also help me have a good life, they make me healthy and last but not least they love me!

My second Taonga is is a pink blanket because I have had that since I was born and that blanket I sleep with every night and I can't sleep without it, and even though it might be a pale pink blanket now I still love it.

My last Taonga is my country and that is the Philippines so I just decided to draw the flag but I love my country and if someone makes fun of my country I will get really mad and probably smash you but I'm not mean so I'll probably just tell you to back off my country!

What is your Taonga?
