Galapagos Island



The Galapagos Islands

I have learnt a lot of amazing things in this topic but some of the interesting are all the amazing animals living on the island and how they evolved through millions of years is cool. What I'd like to learn about is other animals that have evolved after a long time and some animals that took only minutes to evolve if there are any. A Social Studies topic I'd like to learn about is geography.
 

Sports Monitor

Being a Sports Monitor is awesome from helping other kids to training them for sport tournaments. I have been helping other kids by getting them sports equipment for them and helping the year 5's for their cricket tournament. I've enjoyed so much being a sports monitor but the best thing is probably helping people to train for their sports tournament. I've learned if you don't close the P.E shed it gets very messy in there. One thing I found challenging was trying to put the P.E trolley back in the P.E shed because it's hard to manoeuvre the trolley in the narrow path to the P.E shed.

ASB (Auckland Saving Bank)

The Get Wise program from ASB came to our class today. And the whole hour was interesting but at the same time hilarious. It teached us about how to make, save and how different types of work gives you different amounts of money. Like if you worked as a lawyer since it takes about 6-8 years in University to get this degree it is a important job so this job earns the highest income. Another one he talked about is an executive director. And for this job it only takes 3-4 years in University so this job has a medium income. The last job is being a cashier and since you don't need any qualifications this job has the lowest income. The lesson was awesome so it was definitely worthwhile. My financial goal is to save up till I get old enough so then I can spend my money on important stuff. I don't use my money that much so I'm not really sure if I'm good at it.

Mission Fair

Charity

On Friday we had the Mission Fair to raise money for the Cyclone Pam victims in Vanuatu. Ollie, Liam, Harry, Josh, Henry (Sadly he wasn't actually there) and I ran a Pillow Fighting stall. We did pretty good we raised $59.60 but we could have probably done better. What went well was that a lot of people just wanted to have fun attacking their friends with the pillows. Some things that didn't go well was that some times we had long queues but a fight had already started so they had to wait for a bit for their fight. Another thing that didn't really go well was that in the middle of the Mission Fair we had no customers for about five minutes! But overall the mission fair was always and always will be awesome so it was still great to be in.
