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:

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.

Cafe DAY!!

On Thursday last week we finally had our CAFE DAY!!

Cafe day was about inviting our elders to come and have a drink some food and entertainment for the morning. I was working in the kitchen as a caterer. It was HARD 😔😒! There was about 27 people and each elderly person had 2 students looking after them and asking them if they would like anything. I really enjoyed seeing the smiles on all their faces and loved all the effort we put into it.😀💗
