Floundering Project!!!

Floundering Project!!!!!!!

I had no idea what flounder was except that you could eat it and that it was a type of fish. Flounder has spikes around the edges of its body and has a mouth bigger than it's eyes and has spots all over it's body.


Today our whole school went down by the Wai o Taiki Bay which is by our local beach. We had 12 kids from year 7&8 to try and catch at least 4 Flounder. We caught more than 20 baby flounder fish. We sang a few waiata and said a karakia to catch flounder

For Trade and Enterprise, my group is making food products so that means i’m in kitchen. We are making sweets like Cups of Hot chips. In my group are Tevita and me. We get on well together because we are best friends we also are off task sometimes but we get work done. We are hoping to sell 15 cups of Hot chips. Each cup of Hot chips is going to be sold for 2 PT.

To set up where we were going to cook we decided to set up by the class window because we needed to use the frying pan. We only used 2 desks. 1 desk was for the frying pan and the other desk was for all the PTs and the preparation.

When i went to go buy something from the trade and enterprise groups i bought a badge, pencil label and a sport maths book cover from the custom stationary and i also brought 11 loom band from the Jewelry and accessories, and i also brought 2 ice blocks from the kitchen.

Whan I was maning the station me and my buddy sold at least I think 12 cups of Hot Chips. We had only 1 full container and a half full container half of the chips were already in the frying pans. He had 1 customer miss out because we had sold out really fast.

The market day was very exiting because we all had lots of fun. we also bought lots of things like pencil label a drum loom bands slime and much more. The market day was the bomb.

Maths teacher lesson week2

WALT: Add and subtract decimals
Last week in maths teacher lesson, we learnt how to add and subtract. We mostly looked at decimals and then we made them into fractions. For example; 2.4. The way I solve the question is by doing this; there is 2 and there 4/10, so if we add those together, it would equal to 2 and 4/10. So 2.4 in fractions would equal to 2 and 4/10's.
