Opportunity Cost

Hi everyone! Welcome to another post, today in business studies we learned about opportunity costs. After learning about it we then had to create a presentation where we use a scenario to define what an opportunity cost is. I create my presentation on Canva.

After creating our presentation we had to write about a time where we had to make a choice like Sarah.

When going to the store I had to make a choice where I had to choose 1 thing between 3 items, each of these items were the only one in the store. My first choice was to buy an oreo ice cream, my second choice was to buy shaved ice with mango ice cream and my third choice was a banana smoothie ice cream. My opportunity cost is the shaved ice with mango ice cream because it is my second choice and I missed out on the opportunity to eat it. 

Speed Stacking and Juggling

Hi everyone! Welcome to another post, this week in pe we learned how to juggle and how to do speed stacking. If you don't know what speed stacking is it is when you use cups to stack them.

Juggling

Juggling Towels

For juggling, we first had to juggle with some fabric, we started with two pieces of fabric and using two hands we had to throw it up and down and try to juggle both of them with one hand. After completing 10 of those, we then had to use three pieces of fabric and use to hands to juggle them. It was quite hard when I first started because I didn't know there was a technique to juggling the fabric, but after learning it from my teacher I managed to juggle 3 pieces of fabric.

After finishing ten reps of that I then had to move to a harder level which was juggling 4 pieces of fabric with both of our hands. I didn't complete this one because I just couldn't do it yet, someday in the near future I might but it was very hard.

Speed Stacking

Speed stacking was a sport that I really liked because it was really easy to learn and fun to do. Starting this activity was hard because I didn't know how to stack it properly and it was very frustrating for me. So when I finally learned how to properly do it, it made me joyful.

So at the start, we first had to practice stacking the cup in groups of 3x3s, 3 cups in one stack, and 3 stacks altogether. From there it was very easy to learn, you just had to lift the first cup up then put the remaining cup on top of the bottom cups. With speed stacking, we had a class challenge to see who stacked the cups the fastest. The fastest time was 3.67 seconds, while my personal record was 3.97.

I was very proud of my record, but I hope next time I can beat the class record.

Philippine Independece Day!

Magandang Umaga, sa lahat! (Good Morning to everyone!) This is week is the Filipino Cultural week, and at the end of the week is the Filipino Independence week. We are currently learning about Filipino Independence Day. I hope you learn a lot of new things about my culture!

Filipino Independence Day:

The Filipino Independence day is held on the 12th of June, it marks the day where the Philippines officially left the Spain colony, this happened on June 12th 1898. The Filipino Independence day is called Araw ng Kalayaan, which means "Day Of Freedom".

Flag: The Philippines flag can be hanged vertically or horizontally, there are meanings in the colours and symbols of the flag.

When the red side of the flag is at the top it means that we are in a war, when the blue one is at the top it means we are at peace.


During the independence day, Filipino children will be scattered around the streets playing traditional games while the adults will be cooking foods for the celebrations. For tourists, I would recommend them to visit national Museums to learn about the Filipino culture and history behind our Independence Day.

 In celebrations, we sing karaoke and be free, whenever celebrations sing the national anthem make sure sing it with respect by putting your right hand on your heart.

Filipinos cook a lot so that means we also eat a lot. Some foods we eat are:
Halo-Halo
Sinigang
Adobo
Lechon
Kare-Kare
Caldereta (Spicy beef stew)
Banana Que

Here are some pictures on people on the Filipino Independence Day.

How does the hand work?

Hi everyone! Welcome to another post! Today we learned about our hand, how it works and the things that are inside of them. After learning about them we created our own hands with some strings and paper. Finally, we then had to create a blog post explaining how the hand works. Please enjoy reading my post and I hope you learn something!

What are the parts that help the hand move?

• Bones:

Bones provide structure and support. There are five bones in the palm which lead into the fingers. The fingers have 3 bones except for the thumb which has 2 bones.

• Joints: 

The joints are where two bones meet, joints allows movement between the bones.

• Ligaments:

Ligaments are a connective tissue that attaches bones together.

• Muscles & Tendons: 

There are no muscles in our fingers but there are muscles in our palm and forearm, this is where the tendons come in. We need tendons because they attach the bone into the muscles. Tendons run from the tip of our fingers down to our muscles, the muscles move our hands by contracting and relaxing.

So therefore when we contract our muscles it pulls down on the tendon to make our finger curl down.

Example:

This is an example of a hand but made from string, paper and straws. The blue string is the tendons which connect to the muscles, the straws are the bones in our hand, 3 in each finger and 2 for the thumb. The palm has five main bones that connect to the fingers.

Film Techniques

Hi everyone! Welcome to another post. In hurumanu we are currently learning about film, so we had to finish a task where we identify some camera shots. Then we got the chance to take a picture of these shots by ourselves or we search the internet for the shots. I chose to take them with my friend because we thought it would be fun.

What am I learning?
- I am learning to Define the Language of Film using Visual and sound Techniques.

How does this work show my learning?
- I created a slide and took photos to show my understanding of camera techniques.

What am I wondering as a result of this learning?
- I am wondering how all these techniques are applied to create a good film.

              

Interview with Alliah Notario

Hi everyone! Welcome to another post, I hope you're all having a great day. Today we were given a task where we interview someone about their Covid-19 lockdown. I decided to interview my friend Alliah.

Alliah Notario - Quarantine Interview

“Before the lockdown, I felt very tired because of the work we had to do. Also very thankful because
we get to stay at home. I am very disappointed because I don’t get to see my friends anymore.”

What did you like about lockdown?

“I like the lockdown because I can sleep late and watch more k-pop. I also got to read more manga
and watch random videos. I also got the chance to draw more things. I also got more time to myself
and my family.”

How did you feel during the lockdown?

“I feel thankful because I had more time for myself and have more free time. I was very annoyed
because we had many assignments to do. I also felt very relieved because I have a lot of time to do
my assignments and spend time with my family. I was also worried about the people who were
affected by the virus.”

What did you do during the lockdown?

“I watched k-pop and talked to annoying friends to ask if they are doing well. I draw a lot and do
my assignments so that after I finish them I have a lot of time to watch random videos and do
anything I want. I also attended google meets, but sometimes I didn't because I wasn't awake.” 

What didn’t you like about lockdown? 

“A lot of people getting sick and sometimes I get bored at home because I had nothing to do.
I was also very dejected because I didn’t get to see my friends until 7 weeks. I also didn’t like
doing the assignment, because sometimes I didn’t know what to do.  ”

What did you do with your family during the lockdown? 

“We ate different Filipino foods that we made. We also cleaned the house and watched some
Korean Drama’s together, though it was only with my dad because my mum apparently doesn’t
like K-drama.”

How did you feel about coming back to school.?

“I felt disappointed because I don’t want to do more work and I felt too lethargic to wake up early.
I also felt wonderful because I get to see all my friends and have more time to spend with them.”
