Business & Enterprise

Business & Enterprise 

For the past few weeks, HHs students 7/8s and 9s have been working in groups planning on what they could do/make for their own business, each and every student was giving their best and trying their hardest, some people made scrunchies, cultural food, games, drinks and more! We each designed our posters with the help of each member in the group.

My role in the company was being the CEO(Chief executive officer), what I did to make sure our company was successful was doing the applications while the rest would work on the ingredients, I made sure everyone wasn't feeling left out, that everyone had a part to do in the company.

My company was called the Iced Shop. The products we were selling were Iced Coffee and Iced Tea that was handmade by all of us.

My reflection on how our business went overall was pretty successful, we managed to sell all our products and gained a good amount of money, at first we were struggling and confused on what to do since we were missing one important ingredient we needed but then we managed to keep calm and fix our problems. We all had our strengths and our weaknesses.

My reflection on B+E(Business and Enterprise) is pretty good, maybe it helped other students realized what they would like to do in the future. Students got to experience how businesses work, even if they were successful or not successful, It doesn't matter, since not every business start off successfully.

How do Bee’s make Honey?

 How do Bee’s make Honey?

Bee’s are the only type of insects that are able to produce honey and have different types of breeds that can also make honey, the honey they make is delicious, sweet and nutritious to eat!

Firstly, bee’s have to find a suitable food source to be able to make honey. The food source the bee’s usually need is flowers. after they find a suitable, fresh flower to feed on.  Bee’s usually visit 5,000+ flowers a day and for bee’s to make 1 pound of honey. bees will need to visit 2 million+ flowers.

Secondly, after once the bees have collected the nectar from the flower they store the nectar in their stomach. enzymes then break down the nectar into fructose and glucose which is sugar. Once they arrive at their hive(home or base) they pass on the digested nectar to other bee workers by vomiting to each other’s mouth’s/by mouth connection.

Thirdly, the other worker will then place the digested nectar into one of the cells that is in one of the million honeycombs. They will then start to flap their wings to evaporate water from the nectar. The nectar then starts to thicken up and will eventually turn to honey soon enough.

Finally, following from the third step. the bees would then finish by covering the cells with a wax cap made by leftover sugar contents. Then the honey is finished and is ready!

As you can see this writing explains how bee’s produce honey, in reality it takes a lot of effort and time for bee’s to be able to produce honey. So make the most of it while it’s still there!

Subtraction(Algorithm) DLO

 Subtraction(Algorithm) DLO

Hi guys! last week we were given a task of equations(subtraction) and we had to use algorithm. I will explain in this blog post how to use algorithm and what algorithm is. What is algorithm? An algorithm is a step by step demonstration of problem-solving/data processing.

update: Last week we did multiplication using partitioning. partitioning is dividing things into parts. examples:

45 x 26 = 1170         

40 x 2 = 80

5 x 6 = 30 

Emotional Awareness

 Emotional Awareness

For the past few weeks in Wanaga, we've been talking about emotions, being able to control them when we are in difficult situations/Impulses and I have come to realise that all these things are very important to our wellbeing.

For me being able to control my emotions in different situations is very helpful and important you could avoid serious situations and not get involved in any physical fights. even though sometimes it's difficult to control our emotions we have to not rely on our impulses.

knowing how to react and respond in situations rather than acting on impulses means that I have control over what I would say to them/what I would respond to them, having control over my actions. Impulse/Impulses is a strong desire(words/actions) you do without having the time to think.

The effect that these things have on my Social Wellbeing can help me control my emotions and actions when needed in serious situations and might help with the oucome whether it's good or bad.

Maths DLO

Maths DLO    

For the past 2 weeks when our Hurumanu teacher was away, all we've been doing was answering a Math sheet with over 40 pages to work on. I only managed to complete 17 pages out of the 2 weeks given.

The worksheet included, Addition, Multiplication, Division, Fractions, Decimals, Odd and even numbers, Measuring units, Temperature and more. Each page has 6 to 7 equations. 

It was pretty fun working independently on the Math sheet and answering each page with different equations on.
