Adaptation


Walt: Define Adaptation
________________________________________________________
AN ADAPTATION IS A MUTATION, OR GENETIC CHANGE, THAT HELPS AN ORGANISM, SUCH AS A PLANT OR ANIMAL, SURVIVE IN ITS ENVIRONMENT. DUE TO THE HELPFUL NATURE OF THE MUTATION, IT IS PASSED DOWN FROM ONE GENERATION TO THE NEXT.

In biology, an adaptation, also called an adaptive trait, is a trait with a current functional role in the life history of an organism that is maintained and evolved by means of natural selection.

Egg Race!!!!!

Walt: think about my purpose and reader by planning my recount.

in literacy we didn't start it normally because Mr Goodwin was talking about egg race, it's was just like how we did Chicken Flavoured worms. Keep reading to find out MORE!!!


Our first instruction was to get into partners and wait for the second one, I chose Loseli. Then  our teacher gave out fresh organic eggs the he told that our little friend had to be named and had to have a face. We both drawn a face but loseli’s face was not so good so she told me that i should draw one so i did, then both of us was happy with that, the only thing left was to name our little friend. Our little friend name was Violet.


After that we went outside but silently. We headed off to the playground, when we got there Mr Goodwin gave us instructions about we have to be very careful with the egg also  we can’t walk around a object. then  we got a spoon each just one between each team. He took some photo then we started.  we I looked over my shoulder i saw Lani and Rima.  I first walked behind rosa then I  just keep on walking straight  ahead until i reached my partner but i did climb some object.


That was so scary but it was time to give Violet back, it was funny because not that much people cracked the egg. I would say i took good care of my little friend Violet. It was really cool but at the start i found it scary because i thought that I would have broken this little object but  
I didn't.


I thought that the egg race was really fun and scary at the same time. I really enjoyed this race cause people were shouting and yelling.

Trade Fair.

WALT: Use language that paints a picture in the mind of our reader.

This terms topic is Trade and Enterprise, team 4 has there own market selling going on. We have something called trade fair. At trade fair there’s lots of things that happen, we sell products in our groups and materials and stationery like that. You must be wondering what that is I will be explaining this to you. Trade Fair is similar than markets because trade fair takes peoples orders and markets they just tell you how much that is and then you give them the money. At trade fair it was like a jungle because every was going there then, there then everywhere. In my group was Waimaria,me,sulieti. Waimaria sat and selled for 30 minutes while me and suli go and shop, I only went to 3 stores first to Hendrix's group for a loom band for 50 Pieces, I went to heather and brought a loom band aging same price, then I went to inez for a hackey sack. We have 6 groups and they are: Toys,Kitchen,jewelry and accessory,Custom Stationery, Music, Home ware. I was put in Custom stationery and my teacher was Mr Goodwin.In custom stationary kids are making Name labels,Math Books,door hangers,Bookmarks,sticker,badges,pencils, Photo shots.In my group Waimaria is pretty much the bo$$. On Friday At 2:00 we all came together as a team and talked about When we are selling we can't just sell for a few minutes then go and shop so waimaria sells first and me ,sulieti shop for thirty minutes. I just kept going in circles but I wanted to go to the kitchen but I stayed with my bestie Loseli but just i was going to walk out Mr Somerville said” stop look and listen” he said the seller now have to swop with the shoppers. I thought that shopping was better than selling but at the end i really liked to sell not shop. The trade fair was awesome man I can’t wait for week eight, it is because the stuff we bought that is the week we are gonna get it. But for my feelings of doing a trade fair was cool for year fives and sixes it looked like we all had fun. Doing my own business and with my own group in the trade fair helped me with getting heaps of orders.

Window washing.

Walt: learn and use new vocab

Food Critics

Walt: use language that paints a picture in the mind of our reader.




Not a good combination.

peanut butter and jam really Incredible combination but L&P and chocolate ( White chocolate) Is a bummer combination.

The Price for L&p is $4.30 at countdown. In side this chocolate it not milk chocolate but white chocolate, little yellow chip,and of course lemon.

I was impressed and wasn't impressed because I didn't really like lemon.. It smell Like A cup of lemonade, felt rocky, I could taste a lot of lemon not white chocolate. not really a good chocolate.

Over all I would give this 4/10. I think that it's kinda a good product and not but I would change this by changing the lemon to rocky road and the white chocolate to
milk chocolate. But I liked doing this experiment.



On friday we did a taste obversion with chocolate we got given numbers if you got 1 that means you had jaffas, number two was L&P, the final one was number 3 which was mavroulis bar.  I got L&p well i didn't really didnt like it cause the white chocolate i would have change that.

Bean bag hire 3 pt


Walt: pursued the reader to agree with our message.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Bean bags for hire

Bean bags are cozy to sit on and you can  to relax on it.

Bored of sitting on a chair or floor why don’t you come and buy one comfortable,soft and warm bean bag instead of sitting on a chair chair or on the floor bean bags are always hire.

The bean bag sculpt moulded into the a form shape of your choice. You can choose  to sit on the bean bag, or use it to sit back on.

The cushiony  bean bags come in two multi colours. A fantastic  blue one, and a incredible green one. It’s your pick which one you wish to sit on.

The amount  is 3pt. You pay formerly at the starting point of the day and then you can use the beanbag for the rest of the day.

Remember for $$$$3pt you can sit at a beanbag during class the whole time all day.

For this task we were talking  about advertising, so we did it about bean bags for hire because since team 4 are doing pt so if we would like a bean bag we would pay 3 pts for it. we recraft a sentence that mr goodwin wrote but we made it sound more interesting. I used thesaurus to help me find more juicy words that i can often use.

What I would Do With A Million Dollars

Walt: write effective paragraphs using juicy and exciting words.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


If I had a million Dollars at the Mall



If I had a million dollars it would be so fun because i would be able to get  anything I want but i wouldn't worry about the prices. Having this amount of money would be incredible because you will always see me at the mall shopping at stores like : Foot locker, toy store, Warehouse . A million dollars is like OUT OF THIS WORLD!! plus you have all you ever DREAMED.   


I had a milion dollars go to Toy World and buy toys like : Bobit,monopoly,jena nerf guns all sorts of thing that I am addicted to. Toy world is like the number toy store maybe I should just buy the whole store but  my favourite thing about that store is getting everything its got a lot of amazing, incredible thing you really want to get.

I would shop at foot locker with my a million dollars because you can buy shoes,clothing and other thing like that. I can buy me some nike shoes as well as clothing but I would mostly like to buy clothing and shoes there. Foot Locker is often a store where people like to buy there happy place.I highly recommend that you shop at this store.
I would spend a lot of time in this store because it would be hard to chose.



 This is my final store I would like to shop at cause the warehouse is where everybody gets there bargain, you can get the best prices there. Inside warehouse it's like you're just at home there's heaps of homeware things there  and I love to buy my shoes and clothing from there. I describe this store like im at home cause there a lot of clothing and food there and it's like you're at a market.warehouse is an incredible shop so I would love to buy things there. Warehouse is like the number #1 family store where people likes to get everything.


Shopping at all these store: toy world,Warehouse,Foot locker would be fun however it wouldn't be  responsible this is how I imagine it, I would keep some for me,give a bit to my family,give a part to charity, use the rest  of the money to buy a new house for mum and dad and that's how I would have spent my money. This money is a lot but it would be fun if didn't waste it on junk but waste it on family,people who need it real badly and charity and last of all i would spend it on family bills.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

our task was write about being selfish but really this is how I inmangene it is me give money away thats not wasting it. I had to write 5 paraghs of what we would do with a milion dollars. If this was real it would be fun just shopping with out loking at the price tag but no I would be Financially reasonable.

How does it feel for your lost of your children? When  i found out i felt ashamed for letting them go but my feelings were sad. Would you let your third pig in again?
