Month: December 2019

I thought the Christmas market was good because it taught the life experiences you needed to get yourself into a big full-time job. our team name was the Koalments

the Koalaments sold wood candle holders and Christmas log ornaments we were also lucky enough to sell all of our products so that we could raise even more money to the salvation army.

we changed our prices to lower prices during the Christmas market when we found out we had a competitor who was also selling candles and at the end to draw more customers in we had a massive clearance sale.

our total amount of money we made was $107.70 but in profit minus the 20 dollar float and 30 dollar investment we made a total profit of $57.70.

I am hoping that there will be great innovative minds in the year sevens next year cause I see this being a school tradition for years to come

I really liked the health tasks we dd in team 4 which was online safety.

one of the key things I really liked was Empathy

empathy was a favorite to me cause it taught us that we should be understanding with someone if they are going through a tough time and they have been a little harsh on your feelings lately and that you should try and help them out and try and build their confidence up.

another part that was really useful is that when chatting on social media (messages, snap chat, twitter, facebook, Instagram and more) you cannot show the tone you are speaking in e.g. “I like your hair” could be phrased as kind or could be phrased as sarcasm which really meant “what is that ugly thing on your head” or can be phrased in other ways, it just basically depends what the person you sent it to thinks.

 

If Mr. J was to do this with the year 7’s next year I would say a definite yes cause I know it taught me a lot before I take the leap of faith down the path of the bright and the dark social media and how to use it responsibly and wisely so that I don’t cause others or myself harm. But I would ask him to change one thing (Make them do more interactive tasks e.g. like talking about feeling, doing an act of how a text can go seriously wrong and more so they know how they may handle it in the future)

Thanks for a lovely year Mr. J I really appreciated it
