Studio 14 New World supermarket visit!

We were lucky to visit the Kaiapoi New World to learn about the nutritional information for everyday and treat foods. BIG thanks to Theresa, Marianne, Tony and Marewa for helping us out today! We are looking forward to designing a healthy lunch menu . . . and spending the $60 of course! We made lots of connections to our Visual Language unit ‘ADVERTISING’. Here are some of our thoughts from today:

Josh - “I like how we learnt about different foods and how much stuff they have in it like sodium and sugar.”
Kyla - “I liked comparing foods and writing down the different colours of fruit and vegetables.”
Yasin - “Some foods have lots of stuff and some others have lots of that.”
Sam - “I like how we didn’t just do everyday foods but occasional foods too.” 
Callan “We found the ‘Coco bomb’ thing and it had a food pyramid on the back and it said 'lets eat healthy' but it should have actually been at the top of the pyramid because it had loads of sugar.”
Kyla - “If the food looks nice we are more inclined to buy it.”
Harry - “There was a ‘fruit bar’ in the fruit and veges area and its advertising had 'High in fibre' on it but it was actually really bad.”
Betty - “Special k hooks people in because it says if you eat it for one month you will get skinny.”
Callan -  “I learnt that chocolate milk has more calcium than other milks.”

Some visual language reflections from today . . . 
Kyla: “It was fun looking at some of the ads.”
Josh: “Learning different logos was cool.”
Callan: “I found out there were quite a few different things you need to do to make an advert.”
Rio: “Next time I want to learn some more language features.”
Ricki: “I found out that adidas stands for all day I dream about sport.”
Sam: “I found out the ads on tv target different people at different times.”
Tristan: “I enjoyed finding the differences between the adidas and lotto ads.” 
Here is some of us identifying the visual language features of adverts. It was fun!

Term 4 thinking

It is term 4 now at KBS and we just came back from the holidays  (yay) Today we did thinking. For thinking we sat in a circle and explained what our favorite thing in the holidays was. Miss Tame started off saying she went to a sea fest in Kaikora then rieleigh said Miss Tame went to a sea fest in Kaikora and I went swimming at the pool and the next person said what Miss Tame did then what rieleigh did then what he did and so fourth. it was hard to remember what we all did in the holidays. Sometimes we had to ask what we did sometimes we,got confused but most of the time we remember. The last person witch was Kyla had to close her eyes and stand up and say the whole lot.                                                       THE END
