How to save money

How to save Money: By Naomi penu

DO you know how to save money? Why is money so important to us? Do you want to learn how to save money? If so, you’ve come to the right place.

Firstly, you can start by using less power and less water usage. By using less power and water it saves you from paying a lot of money for the bills. This means you can make a limit of how long you can go on social media or how long you have a shower.

You can also save money by sticking to a budget.  For example you can have a limit on what you want to buy and how much you want to spend. Also sticking to a budget means you can’t spend over the amount you put down, Because you put it there for a reason. But don’t spend it on things you don’t need only spend it on the things you need.

Lastly you can get a savings account. You can have one spending account and one savings account by having a savings account you can put money in, BUT DON’T TAKE IT OUT! You can spend it but only for a good reason.

These are my points on how to save money and if you follow these steps then you might be able to save money. If these points helped you i would be really happy but if they don’t…. I’m just a kid!

task description: this task is an explanation writing task. we had to explain to the reader what we were going to do and also use some good connectives as well. this task was also about how to save money and it was really hard, for a person who usually spends all there allowance.

My visual Mihi

This is my visual mihi. what is a visual mihi? well a visual mihi is what you like and where you come from. A mihi is just the same thing but you say it a visual mihi is where you can see/draw your mihi.  My first one is my culture and my culture is Tongan and I didn't  do all of them because I have heaps. the second one is my family and I put them there because they are very special to me. the third one is about god and jesus because I believe in god so of course I would put the cross in and gods name. the fourth one, mostly everyone loves it.... FOOD! I put it there cause without it I wouldn't be living right now. but overall all of the things I put on represents me and what I believe in.

first post for 2018

welcome to 2018 and to start off the great year I learnt a lot in Maths and literacy. I have 6 lovely teachers in our team. in literacy we learnt the the real meaning of the treaty of Waitangi. but also we read a story called the wave and we had to answer a variety of questions but I did not quite finish it. In maths we learnt squared roots and  4²  and we did a problem solving thing that evolved us using four 4's and using equations to get the numbers 1-20. if you do not know what I am talking about I am so sorry it is because i thought it was something fun to share But I couldn't explain it properly.    That is some of the stuff I learnt this week.


------------------------------------------------------------

Task description:
this is all about the start of the year and what I have learnt so far. it has been a great start of the year and this is my first post for 2018. I learnt a whole lot and I think that I am getting the hang of being in the intermediate block.

create my own spider

Have you ever learnt or seen a blue tailed spider? Well you are going to, A blue tailed spider is a harmless and sweet little spider. How he or she gets its food is they act like a trap door spider, They hide and when they see its prey the jump out and grab it. They are important because they help us with the trees and they are a part of an ecosystem and if they were all killed the ecosystem would not work as normal.

Dear Prime Minister John Key,

Kia ora my name is Naomi and I am a year 5 at Pt England School. This letter is about pollution and plastic waste getting thrown into the drain leading to the sea. The problem about pollution and plastic waste is that this rubbish is ending up down the drain. It can affect the fishes in the sea. It can also affect our birds because they go down to the sea and look for fishes but they might see plastic waste and might think it is a fish and could eat it and that can make them die. With all the fish gone fishing can no longer be a hobby. People won’t be able to eat fish n chips.

I think that you should make a law saying “ There should be no one ever to litter in the drains or they will have to pay”. They might listen but here is another idea we can have a event like a competition whoever fills three bags of rubbish gets a prize or something like that. Or we can have more workers to clean out the drain and also John Key I think they should get more money.

The workers should get more money because they are cleaning the rubbish that was going to the sea. The rubbish in the sea can also make our water dirty and with dirty water no one wants to drink it and with no water we will not live. So we need to get all of the garbage in the sea out or we would not live.  

Your’s sincerely,

Naomi  

Naomi Fitness Watch Advice blog Olympic

Walt: Think Critically About what you read 


Task Description: I am giving Advice To James Yoddle. His he wants to be a Olympian weight lifter at the 2020 Olympics, but that is not the the problem. He needs a fitness watch but he does not know which one to choose between fit-bit and the Garmin vivo-fit?
Why we learned this is so we could understand false advertising and stop James from doing the wrong thing and buying the wrong watch. How advertising works is by the marketers of a product using advertising to make it sound like they are the best product, and they are better than all of the other products.  You need to be a critical reader to see through false advertising.

Fitbit Ad   Garmin vivo fit here are the Advert's that I viewed to help James Yoddle make his decision.

Naomi sponsor T-shirt

Walt: synthesis information from multiple sources

Task description: Here is my activity I did, here you can see there is a picture of a t-shirt and another image of these letters and stuff. you might be thinking what is it well I had to pretend I was an athletes agent and I had to pick the sponsors for my athlete. so I chose Reebok for my main sponsor and for my sub sponsor is Nike. All the money added up together was $17,000 wow that is a lot isn't it.  

If I was an Olympic athlete

Have you ever been trained for something special before? Well I have been training for 4 hard rough and nervous years and now the time has come. I can finally go to the Olympic events in Rio 2016  I am going to become a champion and bring home a gold medal.

The aim of the game is to jump over all the hurdles and sprint to the finish line. If you are wondering what is an hurdle, it is a high wooden frame that people jump over and run to the finish line. The track is straight so when they jump they don't jump diagonally and fall. If you make one hurdle fall down it does matter just try your best.   

The country I am representing at the Rio Olympics is New Zealand This is my home town and I love it here. I really want to represent New Zealand because If I come first and which I will then I can be the next valerie adams but in hurdles. Representing New Zealand has a lot of responsibility and heaps of people cheering on for you. When you represent New Zealand you get to hold the New Zealand flag and people at home watching they get excited and you feel happy you are going to faint.  

I am feeling so pumped that I am going to compete against the best of the best. I am really determined to compete against other people in hurdles. I am really nervous because I do not know what these people are capable of. If I come first I am going to burst into tears and jump for joy.

My thoughts towards the Rio Olympics is it is gonna be cool and nervous because we are going in front of the whole entire world. My other thoughts towards the Rio Olympics is that New Zealand people in the Olympics should try hard to bring home a gold medal.

Task description: what I did for this writing is I have to write about me if I was going to the Rio Olympics and competing. do not worry I am not going to the Rio Olympics and all of this writing is fake except for how to play hurdles, and my thought towards The Rio Olympics.
