Homework tab

See if you can find the new homework Tab.
It is below the last posting and before the Fish.
We will upload the weekly homework there each monday.
I need a volunteer to look after that; someone who is quick to get their own tasks done first!

A reward for the student who can find out how to layer pages and show tabs like on Kotuku's site.

The Makos Game

Makos

Last night the Makos played Manawatu. Kick off was at 7.30pm. The first try was scored by the Makos and they got a penalty kick and the conversion so by the firs 6 mins it was ten nil to the Makos. 
Soon we went and sat on a almost deserted stand and watched the Manawatu get a try and conversion. At half time the score was 13 to 7 to the Makos and during half time some of the sponsors were slinging makos tops in a big sling shot and we almost caught one. 


Then the chair leaders came out and danced next there was a race on it was people from different teams there was nelson Takaka Stoke, Waimea Old Boys and other teams and the guy from WOB won. Back to the game Manawatu won 27 to 23 and some guy from Manawatu punched Tom Marshall when he was pinned in the scrum so he got sent off. 
Mr Searle was in the other stand and had a good view of that. Waimea Intermediate were the noise crew and thay did a great job of cheering.

Banking with Hollie from ASB

Banking with ASB 

On Monday a lady called Hollie from the ASB bank came to Kotuku.

ASB bank’s logo is an elephant named after the Auckland zoo elephant they sponsored.

We learned that ASB stands for Auckland Savings Bank.

Hollie taught us about saving money.

Hollie said “spend some on you and save some too.”

We learned to use a Budget or ‘get what you want plan,’ to afford what you need and sometimes what you want.

For example we saved on food by making your own lunch and coffee rather than paying higher prices at the cafe.

We played a clapping game that she taught us, and it was fun.

Hollie told us two stories about money choices. She told one  story when her friends started saving for some cars, and how one person saved their money in the bank and got interest. The other one saved hers in her money box. You get paid interest if you put money in the bank so will have more in the end.

We learned that saving is like training for sport; “the earlier you start the better you do”.

In another story when her and some friends went to get fish & chips, she said that she would pay, but didn’t have enough money in her account, so her eftpos was declined and they had to put some things back.

 The lemon clock is popular and is a great help to tell the time. We used copper zinc and iron a mini clock and we also used leading wire. The clock can do alarms and tell the time.
