Food Print

Yesterday Michal Garvey from foodprint talked to us about how she started to make her own businesses. She talked to us about how waste was being a problem and how she stared to plan her own businesses. It took around 2 years of planning and now it been 6 months when it opened. She did this because so much food is being wasted. Like 20 million loaves of bread has been wasted in NZ a year and imagine how much money it will cost for the resources and transport.

Need And Want

This week for inquiry we had to compare the difference between need and want. This was kind of hard because we can't say need or want in the explanation. We worked into groups so that we can talk to each other and explain something that we don't know.   

Water filters

This week we were making Water filters l was working with Avalon, Karlos and Joel. We made a DLO that explained about water filters and people who don´t get clean water. We were creating our Water filters to find out how to turn dirty water into clean water by using our own ideas and things to make one so we can find out how we can make dirty turn into clean water. We created our own plan that had some ideas of what we could do then we draw what we wanted it to look like. We cut a whole bottle into half then we added chuxs cloth at the cap part where the water was going to come out of to stop the dirty and sand.

Early Maori Enterprise

Early Maori Enterprise started with tribes trading items all over New Zealand. Trades included a variety of foods, baskets and jewellery. Later on British travellers came to New Zealand asking for food, and other items. This turned into trades where the Maori people sold their valuable land and foods for unfair returns. This resulted in the Maori people selling too much of their land and belongings, leaving them with little to nothing.

Maori enterprise started with trading. They traded items like food and clothing. Soon British travellers came wanting food. The British also wanted to buy land. Then Maori sold too much, they lost their land.

This week for inquiry we were learning about Maori enterprise. After we were done we wrote a 5 sentences about how Maori started enterprise. But then we changed our 5 sentences so that we only have 10 syllables in a sentences.
