Colouring Art

 Hello everyone.

Today in wananga we did a practice of the summer learning journey (SLJ). We had a go at this site where you colour in artworks. I coloured in the art work of a lady holding a letter, flowers in a vase and a girl brushing her hair. 

I decided to keep some of the original colours in the artwork.

Here is what i did:

Continue of The Bus ๐ŸšŒ Story

 Hello everyone.

For wananga we had to do a writing prompt. One of the choices was a free choice which you can write your own story with your own topic. I chose to finish one of writing prompts I made near term 3.

Here is a link to the first part. Link

Here is the continue:

“Meet me tomorrow at the last stop? What does that mean?” I asked myself. I turned the piece of paper hoping to find more clues but only ended up having my hopes up for nothing. I snuck the piece of paper into my pockets. While reaching for my pockets I felt a string of some sort touch my fingertips. I pulled it out of my pockets and to my surprise it was a hair tie. I decided to tie my soft brunette hair, pushing it back to allow me to see my surroundings better.

I went back inside the bus sliding my fingers across the seats looking for another clue. As I turn my head left to right I start to see words engraved on the metal walls. I moved towards it trying to take a better look at what it said.

“Hello, can anyone see this?” It wrote.

“Yes.” it answered. 

“What’s your favorite colour? Mine is green.” they wrote.

“I like green too but I prefer the colour brown, a light brown actually.” they answered by writing. Suddenly reading all these words I remember some of my memories that I lost before I had a coma. 

I could recall the exact emotions I felt while reading the engraved writings on the wall. I was at a seat next to a window and below the window, writing from my pen-pal was engraved on it. I would always sit on that seat hoping my pen-pal had already replied to all my writings. 

It was a seat found behind the 5 front rows of seats, barely in the middle of the bus. After a long day of school and barely surviving I found peace talking to this person. We met in person once or twice and shared contact numbers with each other so we actually trust each other. 

After zoning out I find myself smiling as I touch the engraved words on the walls. I stopped and brushed off the feeling and memories I felt. I started to look around at the front window of the bus trying to focus on my initial goal. 

I notice dents and light scratches on the hood of the bus. It’s surprising that they never thought to renovate the bus. I went outside to take a closer look at the hood of the bus. I saw traces of paint leaking underneath the bumper. I crouched down to see what it was. Words were written on it, though it was upside down from my view.“˙ วษนวษฅ วษนวส ษนวษฅส‡ว∀ puษ ววlสŽW”. 

I laid down on the green thick grass to take a closer look. It said “ Mylee and Aether were here”. I thought for a second…….and then I realized, My name was also Mylee?! Though I wondered to myself “Who is Aether?” Another mystery was yet to be solved…..

Business Enterprise ๐Ÿ‘ฉ‍๐Ÿ’ผ๐Ÿ’ผ

 Hello everyone yesterday we had business enterprise. The business enterprise is our kete for this term. It's basically about how to manage your money efficiently and how to run a business. We started learning more about saving money and what income is on Banqer. After getting started on banqer we started working on the business enterprise. We got into groups between our kahui (Mohua) and planned what we were going to sell. 

Our group was really indecisive and went back to forward with our ideas over and over again.  Though we ended up with an idea of making clay charms. Honestly I think our last minute change was a good choice. After that we had to decide on each of our roles in our groups. I became the finance manager. There were 4 roles, the CEO, the marketing manager, the production manager and the finance manager. My job (the finance manager) was to look after our company's money and manage how much we were spending.  The products that we got were bought with the chairman's money (the teachers that guided each groups)

I think, financially we made enough profit to pay back our debt from the teacher. I counted about half of our money and ended up gaining $31 from selling our products. I don't know if that's accurate cause I didn't count all the money we gained. We didn't end up getting all of our products sold out but I think we sold enough clay charms to get a lot of money.

I also bought products from other businesses. I bought slime, some candy and a bookmark and a glass spottily plaque.

Results:
Before -->

 After -->  

It tasted really disgusting. It tasted sour at first but then it tasted bitter. It smelt like barf and rotten drinks. It look like lemonade but don't let it's looks deceive you. The sweet taste disappeared compared to before i left it out.

Discussion:

What is fermentation? 
Fermentation is like brewing. It's a process in which the sugar breakdown into alcohol. The yeast eats the sugar and releases carbon dioxide and alcohol.

What is the difference between beer, cider, wine, vodka and whiskey?
They all have different sources of sugars that get fermented. For example, cider's source of sugar is apple, vodka's source of sugar is potato.
