100 Word Challenge - Term 4 Week 2
Kia Ora blogger welcome to my blog, for today's blog is 100 Word Challenge. Our wananga teacher gave us a photo and we needed to make a story out of it using only 100 words. Here's mine, enjoy reading.
One day Donald the dog and his owners went camping in the deep dark woods of Amazon. On the night they had a campfire and ate foods but in a split crack of a tree-trunk, there was a big blow of wind that caused the campfire to blew out. It was pitch black and Donald couldn't see and couldn't find his owner. Sadly he got lost and all he got was a single sheet of a blanket from the camp. In the morning his owner found him in the middle of the woods covered with the blanket that he got.
Here's the photo.

Badge of Honour | Reading Response
Kamusta everyone, today in Wananga we were set a task to read about a story called 'Badge of Honour' it is about a school captain who is always included in fights after school, later on, the other school captains find out and they had to think what they're gonna do. After reading the story we had two choices to decide of what we're gonna do, nether continue the story by ourself with our own ideas or think of a time we've had to be an upstander or in a similar situation.

Photo Montage
Kamusta everyone, last topic on arts is to make our own photomontage inspired by Hannah Hoch. I've made 3 photomontages by myself and my own Idea, but the one that's my favourite is the building photo montage.
What is your main subject matter? Ahead or portrait? An animal? A vehicle? What can we identify? On this montage, this is not just an art this is a masterpiece. When you look closely you’ll see a montage of newspaper, building, and small buildings from other places, this is showing the idea of buildings located in the city. | Is your photomontage flat or does it have space (landscape or cityscape)? What are your focal points? My montage is flat or boring, as you can see it’s showing a cityscape made by newspapers. | What do you want the viewer’s first reaction to be? Amusement? Awe? Shock? Puzzled? Be confused, amazed, inloved with the montage and an urge to make a montage themself | Do you work in black and white or colour? Does your colour create a mood or structure the collage? The colour that I choose shows an aesthetically mood or vibe. | |
Does your photomontage have leading lines? Do you repeat parts?
I didn’t repeat any images to use. The leading line of this montage is the tall building on the upper part of the photo.
Business and Enterprise Reflection
Kia Ora everyone, yesterday was the Business and Enterprise market.
I would say our business went kinda good because some people bought our rocks, but not all of them was sold because it doesn't look very good for them. We had 6 more rocks left at the end of the day, and we made $37. I really enjoyed walking around and seeing some different products that other company made, doing the sales talk, but the highlight of my day was eating food.
Base on what I noticed, making a really good poster doesn't really attract the customers, it was the product that they were attracted to. Next time I would do this is I would make food products because what I noticed is, the food companies yesterday made the most profit out of all the companies.
I guess picking our own teammates would help the company better because we're gonna understand each other more, get our ideas together, make up our mind, and help each other better.
As far as I know, I participated equally both in preparation and on market day. It was a really fun experience to have and I would never forget it.
That's me on the right side and those are the painted rocks we sold.
Thanks for visiting my blog, make sure to have a great day!~~~

Power of the People | Political Party
Kamusta everyone this week in Hurumanu 6: Power of the People, our teacher told us to find a group to be a political party.
We had to make a political group, that has our own name, logo and what we would to if they'll vote for our team, on my group the people are Ryan, Sonny, Khush, Jacob, and me. We also need to pick a leader, and my group came up with the idea that Khush will be our group leader
Our political group name is Zealandia United, and our slogan is "It's time for a change".
