Trade-Fair!!!

WALT:  Paints a picture in our readers mind

This term our topic is trade and enterprise. We are learning how to trade products and becoming entrepreneurs. Buying and Selling product is really easy at our school, we learn how to trade with our friends and enterprise with the people who we may or may not know. If you are really interested in this learning environment read on to find out more about this.

A trade fair is when you have a group presentation that your group has been working on through the past few weeks, making your product look really good to sell. At a trade fair you look for items that you will be interested in, then soon to ask question about the product. At a trade fair you obviously trade things like products and make an advertisement to pull your buyer into your work. Trade fairs can make you have heaps of cash BUT sometimes your material costs to much to pay.

We had lots and lots of different groups like Home ware, Toys, Kitchen, Jewels and accessory, Custom Stationery and Music. I am in Custom Stationery, every single business teamed up into three or four. I participated with Venetia and Seini, We all had a accomplished ideas. There were so many ideas that people had to chose from and people picked amazing items to build their product. We had heaps of ideas and only choose 1-3 items to make, we made custom maths book covers. My friends and I decorated our maths book cover for some ideas of what we need to improve on and finally finished our product.

The trade-fair for me was pretty cool but some things were a little bit too much. What I loved and ordered was loom bands, food, balloon filled with flour and a beautiful candle. They were all pretty and they were really useful stuff that I will use. When I went back to my group I saw that Seini was doing really good with ordering from children, Seini was really good at selling stuff and hustling people to buy our stuff it was so good for our Custom Stationery group.

I was so excited that we had our trade-fair and still excited for our market day in Week 8. I am excited because I brought some stuff and I can not wait till I use them, I thought that the trade-fair was a good idea because it was cool for the year fives and sixes to get a good idea for our real job courier. Doing my own business with my group was very fun and we made heaps of orders.


Task of Description:

Chocolate Critic

WALT: Use language that paints a picture in the mind of our reader

Whittakers L&P chocolate, two of my favourite things. Yet when combined it is a tragedy. 

Whittakers L&P chocolate contains smooth white chocolate with unusual looking L&P popping candy inside. It’s part of the Whittakers king size range and costs about $4.30 at countdown.

When I first took a bite into the white chocolate my stomach turned in another direction, I thought my stomach was truly going to die. The chocolate melted in my mouth so quick that I didn’t have time to spit it out, it was a disaster. The smell of the chocolate reminded me of my dad’s sprite burps, and the popping candy did unusual stuff to my brain, I think I started to panic. 

The best way to improve on this chocolate is to change the yucky white chocolate to the nice yummy milk chocolate, and I think they should confiscate the yucky popping candy. You should change it to m&m’s that will be the best combination ever.

I don’t think I could recommend this product to anyone because I think that nobody would like popping candy with chocolate in there mouth, but when I did look at the reviews I saw that it was good quality. So there are some people that like this chocolate and some other people who don’t like this chocolate there are two people with different taste buds.

*****************************************************************************

Description of learning:

We tasted the chocolate without knowing the flavour. We did that because when we know what we are eating it changes the way our brain thinks about it, it was really cool. When we did this we had to fill out this taste observation sheet of what we saw, felt, tasted and smelt. We had to write one or two words that describes the chocolate, and then recraft into a fully detailed sentence. When we were writing we tried to paint a picture in our readers mind, because we wanted our reader to have good idea of what we are taking about. If I would rate this chocolate I would give it a 1 out of 5.

Bean bags are super soft  and comfortable for YOUR bum to sit on. Feeling super tired from playing you can hire the bean bag and feeling divine when doing your work, you will be the coolest kid around (maybe).

Any time in class the bean bags are available for hire any time. Instead of sitting on the hard cold dirty floor or on a brown boring ugly chair, you will be able to sit on a bean bag for 3pt making your bottom placid and comfortable.

The bean bags are filled with soft small beans and covered in a smooth soft rubber skin. They can be sculpted into the shape of your choice. You can do almost anything with the bean bag like sitting on the bean bag or leaning on it against the wall.

The bean bags come in two different bright colours. An ocean blue bean bag, and an grassy green looking bean bag. It’s absolutely your choice of which one to sit on. There both prodigious to sit on.

You pay once at any time and get it for the rest of the day it is really truly stunning to sit on, it’s like you're in a another universe with stars around you. The cost is 3pt, ( Whoa pricey much).

Remember for 3pt you can sit on a beanbag during class all day, that's right I just said all day just for 3pt. So save up to hire a bean bag, so I think to buy this bean bag. It will be a YAY for your bottom.

This task was to re-craft of what our teacher wrote. We had to write this to pursue a reader and make YOU interested in our learning  .We had to put in juicy words to make out reader interested, so what I did to do that was use thesaurus this helps me find more juicy words for my writing and also better words like amazing. You should try thesaurus and maybe you will be prolific and maybe even better than me.
