Health, Discovery Tasks

In Health we were set a task that required us to think more about gaming and what it does to the human mind Our set success criteria were answering all the BIG questions, strategies and what you could do to prevent our mind from deploying in the wrong direction, work is presented well (Could have added more images), Key answers to the key concepts are linked. The topic that I chose was Gaming.

Firstly we had to make our BIG questions, once we had our 5 BIG questions we answered them from there we corrected our work finding the true facts and what we would do to prevent it. We chose to make/create a Kahoot we chose to do this because it is simple and easy and it's a quiz for everyone to enjoy We have learned that these strategies in gaming are helpful to use if you ever get sore eyes or start feeling moody after gaming

It was challenging when we got sidetracked and missed out on a few days I coped with the challenge by remembering there is not much time left to finish the work and getting it done I worked not so well with others because we started mucking around and we only worked well on the last 2 days of health... Next time I will find a person to work with who will get me on the task. I am shocked that I actually got the work done.

Dystopia And Utopia












-Dystopia Means a world getting put in bad situations and a world falling apart basically a chaotic place to live in and everything is bad, Sometimes there will be people wanting to destroy the world or everyday 100k people die.. as you can tell dystopian films are where there is always a problem happening. 













-Utopia means everything in the world is perfect and no invasions are happening, Your world has everything that you could dream of, In this case, I did Food and water because then nobody can starve and it will be cool to see nobody suffering around us.


(I am learning about dystopian film types and genres and focusing on the main movie: The Maze Runner)

(The Maze Runner is a movie how people go into a cage and end up in between walls, Struggling to escape through the maze a bunch of brave people go into the maze where nobody has ever survived.)

(I want to know how dystopian films are made and how they come up with the idea of the problems.)

Smothie's | Home Economics

(Our Group) Fresh fruity breakfast smoothie: 

 Ingredients: 1 cup cold milk or soy milk 1 wheet-bix (crumbled up) 1 banana, chopped 1/2 cup fresh or frozen berries.

Results: ------- 3/10 ---- This smoothie mostly tasted like wheet-bix and mixed fruits. I like having wheet-bix in milk but it doesn't suit a smoothie. The smoothie was thick and The Flavours didn't mix well together. This would be good for a morning smoothie (wakeup smoothie) because it contains wheet-bix. 

Peach Yogurt Smoothie: 

Ingredients: 1 1/2 cup sliced peaches (fresh, frozen, or well drained tinned chopped peaches) 1/2 cup Greek yoghurt 1/2 cup very cold milk (best frozen in an ice cube tray beforehand) 1 T honey Vanilla ice cream (optional ingredient) 

Results: ------- 4/10 ---- This tasted alright with the yoghurt inside of it and didn't mix perfectly but it, Honestly, I wouldn't have it again.

Super berry smoothie: 

Ingredients: 125g frozen mixed berries eg raspberries, strawberry's, blueberry's 125ml yoghurt 50ml cold milk 10 - 15g rolled oats 1 tsp honey

Results: ------- 3/10 ----- This smoothie tasted sour and it tasted different to the rest, probably because it had rolled oats and honey I think it doesn't seem right into a server. The smoothie was very chewy and thick and it just wasn't the best. I probably would have again (Just to see what it tastes like again)

Easy banana ice cream smoothie 

Ingredients: 2 or 3 bananas (peeled, sliced and frozen)

Results: ------- 6/10 ---- This smoothie tasted quite nice and cold because the bananas were very cold from when they were in the freezer for a few hours. The texture was quite thin and Runny. I probably would have again

Mango and banana smoothie:

Ingredients: ½ tin well-drained mango slices (cut into pieces) 1 banana - sliced 200ml orange juice or pineapple juice (cold) ½ small apple - optional (cut into small pieces) 2 or 3 small ice cubes

Results: ------- 6/10 ---- This smoothie tasted quite sweet and moist, It was good alright tasting but also needed more milk or something, The flavour was alright but it wasn't the best. From my perspective I probably wouldn't have often but I would have it again sometime

The mystery smoothie: 

For this smoothie, no one knew what was in this smoothie except for the group that had made this smoothie. In this smoothie, there was a special ingredient that no one knew what it was. We were told it was a mix of everything.

Ingredients: Ice cream Yogurt Mixed berry's eg raspberries, strawberry's, blueberry's Milk Weet-bix Honey Vanilla essence

Results: ------- 9/10 ----- This smoothie was the best one of all because it just tasted spectacular mixing all of them, it had all of the ingredients mixed together and it was delicious. I was surprised because I didn't know there was honey or vanilla essence in it until our teacher told us all of the ingredients. I definitely would have it again.(The special ingredient was the vanilla essence)

KeyPoints in Rosa Parks life

 Rosa Parks Key Lifetime points-





Gymnastics

Before Gymnastics I thought it was boring because I honestly thought it was for girls and full flexibility. When I got into Gymnastics i first tried to do a front flip, With no experience I obviously failed, I could do a front flip but not land and its wasn't proper. After Attempting to accomplish that task I knew I had to move on to something that I can do.. I found the ballencing beam and after learning to walk on it, balance on it, run on it, do poses on it, I knew that it was my speciality so I grabbed a small cone and learned to jump over it with two feet, then I started getting more and more, Until I could do 3 at a time with 2 feet then I moved on from that and learned something else but shortly after that the week later i decided to do a crazy one foot and jumping over cones, i was proud of myself for accomplishing it and my friends are now calling me the one foot wonder. This week i decided to instead of doing it all myself i did some by myself and decided to teach my friends how to do it, if we had more cones i can try to do more but meanwhile with 3 cones i will keep it 3, only one of my friends could jump over two cones with two feet and that was kaleb, the rest were scared of jumping and hurting, The teacher said i can try with no mat and just a small tiny mat instead of a big poofy mat, i am going to learn how to balance whilst jumping at the same time, here is a image of me jumping over three cones one, small two, medium and three, large cones hope you like the image, Warning! - its blurry

Next year in Gymnasitcs I want to learn how to do full bar flips, or learn to do at least 8 cones with no mat and balance that is what i wish to accomplish throughout this journey

Here is a Video of me doing 3 cones with 2 feet, this was when I was getting used to lading straight and now I'm more confident. If you would like to see more videos of my improvements over this period of time comment down below.

Happy Healthy Minds: Bully Reading

 

  1. Why do bullies behave badly? -Bullies behave badly because they like the other person and they're scared that the other person may not like them back, Basically gets the fear of rejection.

  2. What are bullies hiding when they pretend they don’t care? -That they actually do care but they are just too scared to admit it so then they take it out on the other person. That they are ashamed to Admit something that they have done

  3. What is important to keep in mind the next time you meet a bully?" -That they are either going through a hard time or they just like you in some way but next time you see a bully ask what's wrong and if they continually do it get a supportive adult to go ask them what happening or just take them through counselling.

Market Day- B&E

 Yesterday we held a market day that everyone in year 10 and under has been planning for around 4 weeks, To keep you updated on what we were making, We made cheese rolls which had some onion aswell, Our targeted audience was everyone but was most popular to the elders. We set up our stalls infront of riroriro we finished our poster and was ready to setup our stall so we grabbed tables that fitted the poster because the poster was to big and we celetaped the poster to the table. Whea Raewyn printed out our online poster and stuck it on our poster (costed 20c). All of the other buisnesses looked like a good competition but we had hope that ours will sell fast. Once it got made inside of cooking class we carried them on plates (They were hot) and took them to our stall. We traded in money for paper money to buy things and then started selling them. As soon as we arrived and the marketing started we saw lots of teachers by our stall and they wanted some. We had a lot of customers and we only made around 60 of our product. We switched between group members to sell the item while the other group members were buying others products. In my opinion they tasted nice and lasted long. This market day was shockingly fun and I even brought myself a Extra Small tie dye shirt (I just wanted to make people laugh) And our product turned out a great success because we made $64. We spent 21.33 to make the products and got $42.67 extra than we made (Including the poster fees). 

Survival extension task

 In Home economics class the fast finishers had to create a quick survival meal with only materials that is on islands. We needed to make a equalivant meal with mixed protien.

Apple Muffins (Home Ec)

 Ingredients- 

 Sugar, apple sauce, Wholemeal flour, Soy Milk, Oats


Taste-

In my opinion, when we made the apple muffins it tasted dry and didn't really want to go for more. We had to try everyone's made muffins and they all tasted the same anyway we all made a different type of muffins with different ingredients and the best tasting one was the original flavoured one. I think sticking with original is a better idea.


What we needed to work on-

What we needed to work on is remembering the ingredients because we missed the sugar which made it more dry, And we put it inside of the oven for to long.


Looks-

The looks was alright and looked all the same, except for the dry ones that just looked rock solid.

Market Research- Promotion

Last Market Research I focused on Place This time I'm going to focus on promotion. Some of the questions were, Who are the people that you are focusing on, How would people find out about your product.

The people that we are concentrating on are everybody because it's crunchy and cheesy and I think that's a good combination. People will find about our product because when someone tastes the product they might tell others about their opinion on our rating, the smell of the product will be outside that means people could smell the product easier. Our promotion is based around our communities opinions and not our own because we would like to promote an honest company. We have already heard from some teachers and students that it seems like a good item to make, But they haven't tried it yet so we need to make it the best we possibly can. Here is our online poster-




Market Research- Place

Last Research I did was about our price and this time I'm thinking about the place or where we would set up, What will be the most popular area to set up in, if people are making a similar product how can you make yours eye-catching.

The most popular area to set up is probably outside the learning commons because that is the most popular place where people walk around / hangout and inside would be stacked with people and outside is fresher. People that make a similar product to ours was our main competition because we needed to make our eye-catching for people that walk past and just everyone in the area, we decided to make a giant poster with small posters our idea is to hang 10 small posters around the school with no colour, that will cost $1.00. Then we had to focus on our giant poster, We had to paint it to make it more outstanding.

Top 10 Ways to Find the Best Place to Live 

Market Research- Price

 In business studies, we talked about our Product, but now we are going to talk about price. Price involves  Competition, Customers opinions, Brand images and availability. 

We got asked questions like what is the price of the product and how did you find the price, Everyone that is making something like ours we had to study and they are selling theirs for around $2.50 we know if we do the same price, it wouldn't sell as fast so we decided to make 60 of our product and sell it for $2.00 the reason why we didn't go with cheaper is that logically we would like to make more money and its an even number which is easier to calculate. Our final price was $2.00 and we will earn around $120+.

We ensure that we will make our product worth the price and extra cheesy. We took out the sausages to our product because we thought about the price we had to buy it for and how much we could sell and it didn't really work out.
