Financial Literacy.

In the past few weeks, our class have started doing Financial literacy. What is Financial Literacy? We had a teacher come in and get us started, and helped us through out. At first, he gave us a piece of paper with the options of being Married, In a relationship or single, You could have 0-4 children, You could have 0-4 Cars of any type, and 0-4 cats or dogs. Then he gave us a card with our income, How much tax we pay, and our mortgage rate. Oh. I was lucky and got a High(ish) paying job. After paying my tax, mortgage and groceries (The amount of money you pay for groceries vary) and after paying for a Fortune card (Might lose might gain), I was In credit! Throughout the next couple of weeks, I didn't Go into debt (But every week I lost money in my fortune)
Then It was the BIG Day of it. On the 4 week mark, We had to pay for a lot more things such as SKY TV, Life Insurance, Our Vehicle, Our Internet and our electricity and Then the normal things. I started the day with $1891.12 which is A LOT and ended the day with 84 dollars. I added It to my Savings (Which is 2000 Dollars) And finished the month in credit!!
I wonder how the next few month will be for me?

Pumpkin Soup.

This week, Our class have been making Pumpkin soup. We harvested pumpkins from the School garden and together, Decided to make some soup. In groups of four, We Microwaved the pumpkin, Cut it in half, Scooped out all the seeds, Added butter, garlic, salt and pepper and roasted them for A couple of hours. We then got a large spoon and scooped out the pumpkin flesh.
Then we put it in a blender, Filled it up and Blended it. We added it to the pot, Added 4 cups of water and 4 tsp Of chicken stock. We stirred it while it was on the heat, patiently waiting and suddenly, Soup was served!
I loved it And Would enjoy second helpings.
I loved doing this because most of the day, I wasn't in the class and It was relaxed.

West Coast, South Island

This Week, Our Class has been working on a slide. We has to answer questions relating to the West Coast as even though we live here we do not know everything about our Province. For some we had to go into further detail.
I liked this because I like history, and I like learning new things (Which I do a lot).

What's Been In The News This Week...

This Year (And week), in Auckland, right now, the largest of this particular thing (In New Zealand) is being built.  A MALL! A 790 million dollar mall is being built right now in West Auckland. 

I have Quoted Stuff here "Auckland's highly anticipated Newmarket mall could open in July."  There will be 230 shops, Some of them haven't been seen in New Zealand before, including Coco Republic, which offers quality furniture. There will also be 2800 car parks. (That is not a store, but there will be 2800 car parks)

I would like to have a look around the mall when it is open, but the only flaw in that plan is that I don't live in Auckland.

What's Been in the News this Week.

This week, Apple has released 3 new products. They released the apple TV +, the Apple arcade and the Apple Credit Card. For those of you wondering about Apple news, technically they just updated it. Apple have been releasing a lot recently also with a new ipad mini and Airpods 2.

Apple have already earned quite a lot of money on these three products, helping the already rich company.  I think Apple are going to do well in 2019 because their products are popular and doing well on the market.

What's Been In the News This Week...

This week, in Wellington, a breaking discovery has been made. One of the most popular places for swimming was tested and RAW SEWAGE HAS BEEN FOUND! The Greater Wellington Regional Council says that the reason of contamination was an illegal mix between stormwater pipes and sewage. People have been advised against swimming at Taranaki Street Wharf as It could cause Vomiting, Aching, Fevers, and Infections.

Personally I think this is disgusting, And I hope that the council has signs up to warn people.

My Poem

My poem
WALT: Create a picture in our reader's mind by including descriptive detail

Last week our class were working on poems.
I chose to do mine on a little ship in a bottle. We got 40 Adjectives on the thing we picked, then got the best eighteen, and made a poem on a website and voilà  we have a poem. Here is mine.
I found it quite hard to get 40 Adjectives and then choose the best ones. Maybe next time I will choose a easier object...

What's been in the news this week...

Did you know, that this week, with flying colours, Auckland council with just under 90% (Or 7997 people) votes decided to petition the government to ban private use of Fireworks! It would then be illegal to let fireworks off at your house!!

The SPCA, Fire and Emergency NZ, NZ Veterinary Association and SAFE all spoke in favour of the ban. The biggest concerns raised in the submissions were the safety of people and animals, followed by noise.

I agree with this decision as I have two dogs and one is terrified of fireworks! People can still go to public displays.
