Gala day - soapy business

Image
Hey there, blogging world. Over the past two terms we had to advertise for our gala day. We've been advertising and processing soap, making posters, and wrapping as well. We put lots of effort doing it online and also by hand, which in that case includes soap and gala posters. Doing it by hand wasn't really a challenge, but rather time-consuming. What's fun is that you create anything and sometimes listening to music depending on your conditions or the whole class. Putting a lot of effort took a lot of time also, colouring was a challenge because I could mess things up with pastels. Now, up to the soap. We had lots of soap but not a lot of individual scents.

Maths - Budgeting on a NZ journey [ Full ]

Hey there.  If you know the previous post I made a quick peek of a slide, now it's the whole one. So what I had to do is complete tasks in each slides using a $500 budget a day (quite a lot compared to totals of activities). We combine the total of our cost of the trip, choose our car/camper-van rental, choose our hotels (however, camper-van rental mean s you have to go on camping sites or else you can go to a hotel). I learned that it needs a lot of effort. I don't find any challenges, but I found a slide very time-consuming. It's the slide that involves a calculator if really needed, all rides from one to another. It also made it hard for slides for each "mini trip" of the total, since it's around the beginning. My favourite slides are all the activities in Rotorua, because they look enjoyable in my perceptive view. Here's the slideshow of budgeting. Please feel free to comment. Blog you later. 😀😃
