Market day,Market day!

WALT:  write an interesting and detailed recount .

You know how kids go to school, well on friday I think you could call it kids go to work day? Our Year 5 and 6 had a market day last friday. We bought,we sold and we earned! But not actual money but fake,Pts and pieces. By working?

Homeware,kitchen,jewels and accessories,custom stationery,music and toys are our trade and enterprise groups. I am in homeware and where I make coaster and vases. In each group we make a product according to the theme of our group. We paint,cook,plat,print and make.

Setting up wasn’t the hardest part. It was just making your stall look pretty. But putting your products on the table, getting your sign, putting a cloth on the table. Like it might not be the hardest thing ever but it can be the most boring thing ever. I was just glad that the setting up part was over.       

Selling coasters and vases wasn’t that easy because kids want cake, brownies and toys.

But at the end I made 34pt. Who knew that Vases and coasters could be so cool! I enjoyed my selling experience.

                                                                                                                                  

I really hope that next term we will have the fun of doing another market day with different products and hopefully more delicious food. I can imagine it now.

So it can balance against the water.

It is a strong and special tree.

Squalls are a big gust of wind and the spirit of the wind can  blow the sail.

To turn around.

The boat will go side ways

5. Reflect on the different boats in the story.

Write three sentences explaining which boat you would make and why.  

If I was in the race I would build a Waka because it represents Maori and I am Maori.

If I was in a race I would have a Canu because it will be challenging to make it move but it won’t be impossible.

If  I was in a race I would go back in the olden days and do a pirate ship because I wanted to see how you can make it out of recycled things and the decorating.
