It is a careful management of available resources and offering good value for money.

An example of trade would have to be 

Globalisation

In term 4 we studied a NZ Export product, the product in which I chose to research about was alcohol and the NZ company I studied was Liquorland. I found out how much the shipping costs were from one country to another, the retail price for the products in different countries and Japan has the most expensive alcohol in the world. To date there are 300+ Liquorland stores in NZ. 

9T Engilish

 My reflection on everything I have learned this year in english.

About me: this was the first thing we did in English this year. Wee had to write about ourselves talking about our siblings, hobbies and more. We also had to talk about who we admire and of course I wrote about my mum and dad. 

Speeches: this year we had to write a speech. This speech had to be 2 minutes but a lot of us had ones that went over and under the time limit which was fine. We had three topics to chose from school/community problem, someone we admire and determination crates success and I went with someone i admire which was my papa Tk Brown .

Reading responses: it is now term 2 and we have moved on to reading responses we did a novel study, the book we did it about was see ya Simon. Simon a boy who is unable to do things normal human beings can do. That is a little brief of who Simon is. We also did a comic response, we picked one comic and wrote about it, like the main characters and things like that. Our final response was a short story which I don't remember much about.

Film study: In term 3 we had to learn about films and the different ways directors film/shot there shots in movies. We also had to learn why they use that specific shot and how the director wanted the audience to see them as. After learning about all these shots we watched a movie and had to answer these questions about the movie like: what shots did they use, what the director wanted us to see and how the shot works.

Creative writing: term 4 brought the last task of 9T English, creative writing. This term we have been learning about what verbs, adjectives and all those things .We wrote creative sentences using verbs and adjectives etc, and whaea Annette had to look and make sure we had all the right things. 

Extra: throughout the year we did different small warm ups such as word brick. For word brick we had to pick one word from a bunch of words and write the definition and a sentence using that specific word. Another little activity we did was SSR ( Silent sustained reading. ) This is were we read short little story's and answer the questions. We finally finished those SSR's today.

That is everything I have learnt and done in 9T english 2021.

Tell us about the NZ exported product you choose to research?

For our NZ Export product we choses to do alcohol , why ? purely because it is a well known product around the world and also around NZ , another reason why we chose this product is because it is easy to research about and also cause everybody love it

This project was really interesting and knowledgeable . In conclusion, overall I very much enjoyed and learnt a lot of interesting and knowledgeable things. Like researching products and knowing where they are sold from and how much they can be worth from 2018 to 2021. 

Jungle scene writing

 One busy morning on a nice tragic day, when i wanted to run away and be free, i came upon a pleasing jungle with native trees and beautiful stairs along the way. I rusted ford as i could feel my hair swing throw the wind. The stairs felt like a bumpy snake. It had  this green ferns and dangling Pisces of vines. It was peaceful and quite, beside the little insects and birds chirping around. It was a tragic time, that i had to leave in the middle of such a nice moment.

Signs of migration within my whanau

 Kia ora today i will be blogging about migration within my whanau / family. In this I have done my tupuna from my dad’s side and also my mum's side .This migration within my whanau/ family is about knowing your tupuna more and also finding where they migrated from .oh and also just remembering memories with them.What have I learnt ? I have learnt that my tupuna are all from New Zealand and are all maori , but one of my papa’s is  also half croatian from his dad’s side I think , I'm not quite sure if it's from his dad side  cause i'm actually not sure what line it comes down .Something else I have learnt like this topic is moving to another country and how not everyone's the same . This research project I have done supports my learning because while we learn about about our tupuna , we also got to find out where our tupuna migrated from . Overall I think this was a really good topic to do because not only we did it for our work but we also did so we could get to know our tupuna better and where they were from and what .culture they are .

Balaclava story

 In English we were working on the Balaclava story. The story was about this boy that really wanted to be in the balaclava gang, a balaclava is a ski hat or a hat.Some of the things that was interesting was when he was forcing him self to steal a balaclava, I was shocked. He was so desperate to have one and wanted to be in the gang, and since he wasn't in the gang his friends started ignoring him.

After he stole it and heard that someone's balaclava was missing he started felling guilty. After that his mum bought him his own balaclava, so he felt even more guilty and started regretting what he did.

 After that i created a work art and put in some of the key words that i found in the story.

Own push, pull and Intervening Obstacles

 Kia ora my name is Kailah and We are learning about push pull factors and intervening obstacles.Describing a story using, push and pull factors and intervening obstacles.We have learnt that push and pull factors are the same but have different meanings either it's happy, sad or something that prevents things from happening.I have learnt that doing this exercise is helpful towards our learning and an easier way to explain what the story is about.It has changed because we always used to do the basics but now using push, pull factors it's easy to work with and gives more detail.Is that it's not basic but is more explainable to work with.It helps with the details and has more expresses to it.
