mairehau merilsous market

 Date: 27 September 2020.

Mairehau's merryilcious market.

I wasn't able to be there on the day of the market but I helped the preparation of our items and stickers.

When we first heard about the market we all got excited, Rachel, Sophie and I decided to  group together to make a product for the market. I had brought up the idea of me making accessories and frilly things as a product and we agreed on it. We had also decided to sell plants, succulents and cacti.  

After choosing the products and ideas, we had come across a problem where, what Miss Marshall had let us make and sell didn't line up with what Ms Boocock said. So eventually we had to choose between plants or accessories. Rachel was stubborn and still wanted to do both while me and Sophie decided it would be better if we did just plants. That was decided, Sophie and Rachel were in charge of planting.

We eventually settled on selling plants, with stickers. Choosing the group name and and making a "brand logo" was rather interesting. We had come up with a few name where we would disagree and agree on until Rachel has come up with this glorious idea where we would smoosh our last names together. Therefore the name "Lims" was created.

Our next step was to create a little plant mascot/logo for "Lims". Rachel and I were in charge of that while Sophie gave her opinion on what we drew. We came to a finalised logo, an adorable cacti with a pink flower on their head. We went home that day feeling ENERGISED and EXCITED. 

On a Friday, on one day, we arranged Rachel to go to our houses (it was her ideA) to help us finish our product. Rachel came to my house and we designed the sticker. Then, the day was near, we had finished doing what we needed to do and the last things on the list to complete were the poster and the price tags. 

On the day of the market I unfortunately had to go home early but at least I was there to help a tiny bit and see some of the progress.  

We managed to get $76(estimated), on the night of the market. 

 

The cay moral.

Last term in English we read The cay.

The moral of the story that I understood from the themes of the book was "Sometimes you need to trust the person who you despise a little in certain situations."

I give The cay 4.5/5 stars. It was a really good book that touched heavy topics such as racism and the war.  But I feel the ending was too empty or un-informative. In my honest opinion, an epilogue would be very nice to have.

N u t r i e n t s & O t h e r  i n f o 

Carbohydrates: To give you energy.

Carbohydrates are broken down by a enzyme called "amylase". It works in the mouth and small intestines.

Protein: To help build and repair tissues. It also helps in making hormones and enzymes.

Protein is broken down by enzymes called "trypisn" and "pepsin". Trypsin works in the small intestines and Pepsin in the stomach.

Fibre: Stimulating the digestive system.

Vitamins & Minerals: They help your body function and heal/get stronger. 

D i g e s t i o n

First when you eat, it is called ingestion, when you chew it is mastication. When you chew your food, your salivary glands release saliva which contains a enzyme called "amylase". Saliva helps break down your food. After you chew, your food goes down your oesophagus. 

Your food goes into your stomach and your stomach produces acid to break down your food.

My book I am reading is called "Paper creations" by Gay Merrill Gross.

I have not read the first chapter, but only the introduction. I think that this book will be about origami history and how to make instructions. 

Will this book have instructions or will it be a book with history and other facts ?

Did Japan create the first paper origami? 

The information I have currently read is that, first origami  was used to decorate but then it is now a expression of art. The book cover was a attention grabber, the pretty decorative papers and the neatly folded shapes were really enticing.

Stay away from me+ Extra facts.

Every living thing is part of a food chain no matter what their position is, they either are the one chasing or the one running.

When a Texas Horned Lizard feels(or is) threatened, it will squirt blood from its eyes.

Paragraph 3.

When the opossum is scared or threatened it will play dead, though in a lot of cases they are actually so scared they go into a shocked state,(barely alive) and remain like that for hours on end.

Paragraph 4.

There is a type of termite which sacrifices it's life for their nest, when that happens the oldest termites are sent out to protect the nest, and explodes a pouch with a sticky liquid that kills the enemy and the termite itself.

Giant panda's food chain;                      

Sunlight-Grass,Flowers,Trees,Bamboo-Panda-leopards,Human 

Giant panda's main source of food is bamboo. The Giant panda then is a source of food to snow leopards or being killed for their fur by man.

They are always being threatened due to illegal logging, deforestation/ clearing of the land and poaching. People kill the pandas for their fur. 

Every animal is part of the food chain and takes part somehow for the Eco-system. The pandas role is to distribute seeds.
