7 Wonders of the World

Last week we had a huge task. We had to plan a holiday around the world visiting the 7 wonders of the world.

The 7 wonders of the world are the Great wall of china, Petra, Taj Mahal, Christ the Redeemer, Machu Picchu, Chichen Itza, and the Colosseum.

I was partners with Tegan. We had to research all the flights, Accommodation, Rental Cars, Food, Petrol, and we had to do an extra activity at each place. We had a budget of $45,000, and had to be away between 30-50 days in May-July.

Here is our Presentation:

Future Budget

From one of my recent posts I said that our class is doing a fake money system. This week our task is to create our future budget. We have to find cars and houses and jobs and everything we will need/want in our future. We also need to research how much a warrant and car registration costs for our car, also our tax and all the Money that we have to pay to the government. Another thing we had to research was what we will study in university and our net worth for when we're older. These won't be our actual futures because somethings might change but this is what we're thinking of right now. 

Here's my presentation and Budget on my Future:

Overfishing

For our writing task this week we had to research an environmental issue and show what it is and how we can prevent it. I did mine on overfishing. It's scary to think that all the fish in the sea will be gone.

Budgets

For Term 4 our class is focusing on money and going through the process of having to pay bills and pay for the stuff we use, using banqer. Banqer is an online fake money system, everyday we come to school we get $5 but if we are sick and we email our teacher or contact the office we still get $5. If we check in before 8:35 then we get $10. Each task we complete we get $10-$30. Each week we have to pay $75 for wifi and if we want to sit on the furniture we have to pay a certain amount of money. Here is our slide that has all the information.

This week's reading task was about Budgets. We had to research what a budget is and then create our own Budget using google sheets. We had to put together all the tasks and all the things we wanted to buy and see what our budget would be after that. Here is mine.

LH1 logo

Last week bella and I made a logo for the class in manaiakalani. Everyone who made one had to have a symbol behind it. Ours symbolises that us kids are the boats lost at sea and the two lighthouses are the two teachers leading us the way. We used google drawings and luna picc to create this.

Animation

It's so sad how the amazon Rainforest is burning. Did you know that The Amazon has an incredibly rich ecosystem – there are around 40,000 plant species, 1,300 bird species, 3,000 types of fish, 430 mammals and a whopping 2.5 million different insects. Losing the Amazon Rainforest would cause serious damage to the earth and us humans. 

What Learning has Stood out for me This Week?

I have really enjoyed the PE we have been doing this week. We have been focusing on Invading. We played a game called Robb the nest/IT tag/Magic potion, you get split into two teams and your team each has a hoop with 3 tennis balls in it. The aim of the game is to have all 6 balls in your teams hoop, you can get people out by tagging them below the knees and if you get out then everyone you tagged can stand back up and start playing again.

Something that I think I could improve on is getting all my things done and not getting distracted as much.

Here is my timetable for this week:
