B&E #3

3/7/17
We are learning about running a profitable business, maintaining a budget, working collaboratively and to advertise.

I believe that we are all working together well and collaboratively because so far there has been no large arguments about what we are making and/or how to sell it, we have agreed on most things, and when we didn't it was sorted peacefully with no further argument.

When it comes to the business itself, everything has been finished except the products themselves which are being done the night before to preserve freshness. We have handed out over twenty business cards and hope to hand out more.

Our next step is to participate in the actual market day as we have finished everything that we can currently do. We hope to make a profit of twenty dollars or more.

B&E #2

26/6/17
We reconsidered a few days ago and decided our products will be chocolate chip cookies, milkshakes and gummy shapes. So far the only things left to do are the ads, business cards and actually making the product itself.

Next time we hope to finish as many business cards as we can and make the posters. We also have to make the products, Kristy is going to do so at home the night before to help preserve the freshness.

B&E #1

20/6/17
Today we decided our products, we are going to make chocolate chip cookies, milkshakes and sherbet. We have also completed most of our groceries and some of our letter to Mrs Elley.

Next time we hope to finish the groceries and continue the letter, we also hope to start some hand made logos made by Nishnit.

Graduate Profile

I have achieved these two from the graduate profile;

I listen to peoples ideas and opinions
I believe this because i'm often quiet when discussing things, with and without people I know around.
My evidence is the fact that even with my closest friends I can be extremely quiet, and because of that I don't talk and often listen to others opinions and ideas but can't voice my own, that or they don't listen and continue their current conversation.

And

I can use digital devices creatively
I believe this because I have done multiple activities involving the use of google drawings and other websites that help with my learning.
My evidence is my google drawing called OC it shows my usage of the different ways to draw using the app with inspiration from different images.

I need to work on these two from the graduate profile;

I can give useful feedback to others
I believe this because I put others feelings before what I actually believe.
I want my first step to be to stop putting others feelings before the truth of how things are.

And

I can successfully work with others
I believe that I need to improve this because I only work with my friends and not with others.
I feel like my first step would be to slowly work with others that I haven't worked with before.

Mini Golf... Science???

For kete we had to do some science on forces.

So Mrs Gibson had the brilliant idea of a mini golf course

Don't worry I'm confused too.

Really Mrs Gibson why???

We are in the process of planning and here is what Kristy and I came up with.

I think that getting all the measurements was really difficult and it took REALLY long,
I think that placing everything down was the easiest as I already had all the ideas in my head that I would suggest to Kristy.

Our next steps are to start making the course and somehow making the tunnel with a giant tube. Emphasis on GIANT.
