How people receive and spend money


Intro: What is money? money is banknotes and coins that are used to purchase something you want or something you need. Also money is currently everywhere in the world, people use money to purchase or buy things like shoes, food, clothes and also different kind of things.

Where  do  you get  money? There are various ways people around the world receive money. Like if you where an adult you would get money by getting a job and working hard, And also a lot of kids get money by doing all the chores at home. Money can come from many places like your relatives.

How people spend money? I see many people around the community spending and purchasing there money on snooping through the market for things to provide for there family. Also when people see things they would like to wear they would buy it with there own money, only if you are over 21.

When I obtain money? I really struggle with saving my money, because there are so many things I would like to eat or buy. If I receive money, by one of my relatives I would spend it on things.

As the the years flow by I’ve learnt a lot of things about money, that if you spend all the money that your relatives have gave you don’t spend it right away because you might have things you like. Also I would always save my money

Mega Earthquake

                                        Mega Earthquake

                                                              
New Zealand (geologists) have found evidence that a large earthquake hits beneath central New Zealand.  A ‘megathrust’ is a very large earthquake that occurs in a subduction zone.

An subduction earthquake is when earthquakes occur on the underside of the upper plate. Where both of the plates meet,rather than meeting within the upper plate.

A group of scientists have found evidence, that two huge earthquakes that ruptured in the southern part of the Hikurangi Margin for the past 1000 years.

The margin marks the collision zones between the pacific also the Australian tectonic plates. This evidence proves that the boundary located under the Cook Strait-Marlborough area, this evidence suggest that a large earthquake could eventually rupture.

Subduction earthquakes have the strength to significantly a lot larger magnitude than upper plate fault ruptures. There could be a massive effect on a larger area, and more likely to trigger tsunami.

Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels

                                Home Sweet Home
Walking home with medals on my chest
knowing that it time to rest.
seeing all the soldiers who are wounded,
also looking at how they could survive.
A lot of lives where sacrificed
just as kids were born that night
I can’t forget what the soldiers have done
just for our countries that we have won.

Aspiration Talk

Today we heard from Marcus Winter aka The Sandman and Louis Gordon -Latty. We were all blessed to have them at our school,also there was Andrew Patterson he was introducing our two visitors,will met him last year he was very hilarious.

Louis Gordon- Latty was really inspirational because he was really into basketball,and basketball is one of my favorite games I've played. He is an inspiration to me because he records a lot of his games,and has a lot of detail,because he added a fans and commentary into there game.

What stood out for me was when Marcus Winter talked about how he was growing up and mentioned about the life he is in now. The inspirational thing I heard was when Marcus said "when ever you get bounced you will always have to bounce back," I have never seen one of his art,but when our teacher Mr Wiseman showed us a video of his art I was really amazed of what he does.

I am glad that they came to see our year 7 and 8's,because what I have loved about them is that they had a lot of quotes. Also they never gave up even though they got bounced from a lot of things,the thing I learnt today was to never give up and keep trying.
