Banking key works

 In business studies we are learning about banking. in today's lesson our teacher let us choose what DLO we wanted to do, I chose to make a crossword with the key words about banking and the clues I used should have shown my understanding of the words.

I did really like this activity as it gave a more creative side to learning about banking. And because it was a crossword it is also interactive so my class mates could give my crossword a go to test their knowledge too.

If you have any questions or feedback please let me know:)

Writing SEXXYY paragraphs

 LO: learning to write SEXXYY paragraphs. 

Essay question: ‘Describe an incident which changes the course of events in the text. Explain how this helped you to understand an important idea in the text’

Statement	Example/Evidence (include a quote)	EXplain quote	EXplain Effect on the Reader	Your link -- to another part of the text	Your link -- to the wider world
The incident of Binta being killed by Saran helped me to understand the important idea of How much hate saran really had towards the maji because it showed me that Saran was willing to kill his daughters best friend just because she was a magi.	We see this in the text when King Saran gets Binta to touch the scroll so he can see if she has magic in her or not. When Bintas hands filled with light from magic Saran just smashed his sword right through her with not even the slightest amount of remorse  for her. ‘Father strikes fast. One minute Binta stands, in the next fathers sward plunges through her chest’	This means that… Clearly we can tell in the quote that Amaris father, king Saran kills Binta because light exploded from bintas hands when she touched the scroll, magic.	This made the reader feel upset or scared for Amari and Binta because King Saran is capable of taking someone's life so fast over magic.	It reminded me of another important part in the book when King Saran carved maggot into zelies back with no remorse for how she is feeling and her screams because this also shows the idea of hatred towards magi as zelie was a magi too.	In the real world, this idea is important because we see this in the real world everyday but mainly in america at the moment with everything going on with racism and the BLM movement with police brutality.

Market day reflection.

 On Wednesday 23 of September we held a market day at Hornby high school. I was in a different group right up until three weeks before market day when I had to switch groups last minute that made it a bit more difficult on market day. My group sold panikeke, we were supposed to sell chips as well but our deep fryer fell threw last minute. Our weaknesses were: poor communication, lack of effort and being unorganised. One strength our group had was me and another person jumped into the group three weeks before market day so our group had to adapt to more people.

Adapting fast - I was very impressed of the fact that we did pretty well considering that we didn't work together in the start. 

Poor communication - We had poor communication because we didn't really talk about our plan for market day or who was bringing what. we also didn't really talk on the day about who was staying at the stand for what times so I ended up staying by the stand for the whole day selling things. I think next time to work on this we would need to either have a group chat of all the members or actually talk about things before and on the day. 

Lack of effort - On the day we only had 3/5 members actually show up. Even tho I only jumped into the group three weeks before market day I still tired my best. I do think that everyone in the group could have done better on the day and actually work as a group instead of just one person doing everything. Next time I think we could all try a bit harder and work together. 

Being unorganised - on the day we didn't have any of the stuff we needed other then the pre made panikeke. we didn't have paper plates, napkins or a poster to put on the table to display what we were selling. I think next time we should be more organised and be better prepared for the day.

We preformed a piano cover of same love - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

my role was to play the intro and the outro to the small bit we did.

I worked with Kayla, Lauren.

I think the preformace went really well and that everyone played thier part really well.

The challenging this was working with new people

I enjoyed learning a new song and just having fun with it.

 

Children of blood and bone: chapter 66

 Father stands in his night robes, scanning a faded map. No sign of hatred. Not even a hint of disgust.

For him, carving MAGGOT into a girl’s back is just another day’s work.
…
In that instant it hits me: Zulaikha’s death. Zélie’s screams. They don’t mean a thing to him. Because they’re maji, they’re nothing.
Think about how the word ‘maggot’ is used. This is a slur. Do we have these in real life?

The Rube Goldberg Machine

 

This is the Goldberg device that our class made, we each were in a group of four and we had to come up with our own parts of the Goldberg device and then we joined them all up at the end.

My group made the first part of the Goldberg device, Austin made air pump to push Thomas lever up, I made a tunnel for the ball to flow trough out of Popsicle sticks.
