How could Energy Usage in Ōtaki homes be more efficient. - Group: Violet, Rakei and James. - (Week 8 Reflection/Week 4 Reflection.) (Late posted.)

 1. What have you achieved/learned/found out since your last post?:

We finished our presentation and printed out the slides, we glued them onto the A4 piece of paper, and we managed to glue the A4 presentation piece of paper onto the huge cardboard stand. Right now I'm gluing some symbols and decorations around the paper and all over the cardboard. James has started writing down the do's and don'ts for our project.


2. How effectively have you used your time this week?:

Very big amount, same with James, but unfortunately Rakei hasn't been at school.



3. How have you contributed to your group’s progress?:

I asked Mr. O'Leary for some normal pieces of paper to sketch the symbols on and I sketched and coloured in flame symbols, leaf symbols, light bulb symbols, and electric bolt symbols for the design. I also gave James ideas on the do's and don'ts for our project.



4. Glows: something that is going well in your project:

Designing and more interesting add-ons.



5. Grows: Something you need to work on:

Adding some of the do's and don'ts list onto our cardboard stand, as well as design around the paper.



6. Where could you get help with this?:

If I needed help I would ask for help from Mr. O'Leary or James.



7. What are the next steps for your project?: In week 9 we should've been on the edge of finishing and all done, but our next steps are to finish designing and adding extra information and useful ones for the sides of the cardboard stand.
