Mairehau Marilicious Market!

On Friday the 27th, Mairehau had hosted a day called The  Mairehau's Marilicious market!

 The Marilicious Market is where the year 9 students of Mairehau would make,create and build something to sell at the market for children,adults and teachers to buy. Weither it was food  , drinks or christmas related items. Students would have to set up in the school gym with their own invented signs and their creation to sell. Each group had been given a small container of change in case in need of one.And when the market was finished, Lead teacher of the activity, miss Boocock would take the money to count up and give some to donate to the Waka Charity.

I was in a group with my friend Rangimarama and we had made 30 christmas cards, written with "Have A merry Christmas" and some christmas jokes in different languages to represent the cultures we have in our school and community with candy canes and christmas themed stickers with googly eyes for $2.50 each card. Rangima had also made some delicious truffles to go with the cards packaged in plastic with a red ribon tied on top. On the day, Rangima had selled 10 christmas cards and the rest of the 20 went to the staff of the school to see what they wanted to buy. 

This was A first time for me in a school market, and from my experience, it was really boring and I don't know if I want to do it again. There are no photo's of the previous market but here are some from last year's one with the seniors:

Its comes to your choice about what you want to sell at the market and whatever price you put it at.

Use your creativity and put together your's and other people's idea's. Help each other in the group and make sure every body has a part in the market.

-Thank you.

                                                                                                                                                   

Stop Motion

 -At Mairehau High, Year 9 students have been learning and making stop motion clips in Media class. I have learnt that the time it can take to make a stop motion clip let alone a whole movie/film can take upto more than 8 or 9 months. It at least takes over 24 pictures to make one shot per scene which means if you take more slower and more pictures per scene, then the film will look more smoother and better as if it was an animations

 But taking more bigger shots can make the scene look bulky and rushed. me and A friend in Media class had made a stop motion film about A boy called Brady posting an embarrasing picture of his friend james without his permission and how much it affected him due to all the hate online.

Story: Turkey Vulture: Turkey Vulture (also known as Buzzards or the Vomiting Bird)

are often misleading between a Turkey and a Vulture and can mostly be found in Southern Canada. Its mechanisms for protecting itself is by vomiting. Throwing up all of the gas and the chunks held up in its stomach toward the predator. Better safe to keep distant from these creatures as their smell is as good as their sight. Turkey vultures can vomit up to 10 feet away from them. Especially baby Turkey Vultures as they start off by using this technique at a young age. The purpose of this is because the colour of the liquid vomit can make the Vultures look less appetising and the smell can be unbearable for the predators which can scare them off to look for another prey.

Summary: This is A Southern Canadian bird called Turkey Vulture 

(also known as Buzzards and Vomiting birds)  that vomits chunks of eaten decays of animals too scare off the predator which turns into this orange liquid which will make them seem least appetising. Their vomit can go up to 10 feet away and newborns can start off by 5 feet. It is said that their sight is as good as hearing.

I like being happy and bright and I love meeting new people and being social with others because its a nice experience to meet different people.

 

Fears of the bird?

-Peafowl (female peacocks) are generally frightened of dogs. If you have an invisible fence, you can keep your dog in the yard to discourage visits. An alternative is to bring a leashed dog outdoors whenever you see the birds and firmly escort them from the property, keeping far enough back that Fido can't actually reach them.
