Colouring wananga

Kia ora everyone 

Today in Wananga we started colouring this thing we had to do. First we had to pick a colouring and then make a blog post and explain what we did!

So first we went into the site which they call "Art colouring book", and we could of either made it the same as the actual picture and then screen shot it, or we could of coloured it the same as the real picture and screen shot it! here is my favourite one that I did:

We were supposed to do one of the NASA colouring so I did one of them as well, and this one was my first one, which was kinda easy but it doesn't mean i'm not proud of myself:

As you can see the NASA one is very simple, but it looks pretty cool, anyway, that is the colouring I did! I am still doing one more but I'll keep it out of blog post so you guys get curious :)

I hope you enjoyed reading my blog post!

QUESTION OF THE DAY: Do you colour? if so, explain what drawings do you like to colour the most.

Market Day

Kia Ora everyone. 

Yesterday ( 12/01/2021 ) at school we had the business and enterprise kete, it was actually quite interesting.

Me and my team of course started the day by finishing our poster and putting our table outside like everyone else. Then we starting fixing up our product onto our table so we can finally sell it.

We got A LOT of costumers, everyone loved our product! I think we did really good, I am not sure how much we made, but what I do know we made more than $40 dollars, maybe we even made it to $100 ! 

You are probably wondering who was in it, well it was Me, Jordan, Venice, & Vielle.

I was the CEO, Jordan was Marketing manager, Venice was Sales/Finance Manager, & Vielle was Production manager.

When we started to sell our product and other people selling their product, my team decided that one of us or two of us stays, and one or two of us goes and look at other peoples products, and some of us even had money ( unlike me :I ). My friends went to buy stuff so I usually had to stay behind but it was either fun anyway, one of my friends from the other team, went to buy candy but they kindly gave me one. 

When I was the CEO in it, it was actually quite stressful, it was hard to get people to listen to me or listen to my opinion once, but we ended up doing it quite well in the actually market day. Our poster was looking weird by the time we finished it ... A lot of people thought that our little shop was called "Now Open" which was strange but I don't blame nobody, our actual name was smaller than our "Now Open" sign.

I don't have a picture of the poster but I can show you what our ONLINE poster looks like:

I think our business was really successful, a lot of people went to our table outside and they said that they really liked our product ! I also think our business was really successful because we were being respectful to the costumers and not ignoring them in a way and just being patient. I think me and my team showed a lot of the CARR values yesterday. not only did we respect our costumers but me and my team respected each other and ourselves.

As you can see, I made it, we had to taste a little then put it on the window and then taste it after one week and taste it entirely, everyone said their ones tastes disgusting but I think mine tastes really good!

What is fermentation--->

Fermentation is a chemical change that happens in vegetable and animal substances. For thousands of years people have used fermentation to make bread, wine, beer, cheese, and other foods. The enzymes break down food into chemicals. When bakers add yeast to bread dough, the yeast breaks down the sugars in the dough. 

 ( OTHER WAY TO SAY IT: Fermentation is a process that involves the breakdown of carbs by bacteria and yeast. It results in a distinctive tart flavor and is used to make foods like yogurt, cheese, and sauerkraut.

REAL RESULTS AFTER A WEEK:

I didn't taste it because mine smelt so bad, like barf but way stronger, and had these white stuff inside, but from the smell I almost threw up, Mr tasted mine and he almost threw up. Plus it looked horrible. It was honestly disgusting.

 :( yuck...
