Being globally minded

 We have been learning about 3 concepts: economy, trade and globalisation. Economy determines what taxes will be used for in the community. And how people earn money, Trade is the general marketplace of buying and selling goods.Globalisation is the word used to describe the interdependence of the world. Globalisation is also when something goes viral or popular around the world.

After we learned the three concepts we had to research an NZ export product, I decided I wanted to research wine or alcohol, cause it is a very popular export product. Did you know the total worth of NZ export products around the world in 2021 is 130.53 billion dollars. This was how wine became wine. Chemical analyses recently confirmed that the earliest alcoholic beverage in the world was a mixed fermented drink of rice, honey, and hawthorn fruit and/or grape. The residues of the beverage, dated ca. 7000–6600 BCE, were recovered from early pottery from Jiahu, a Neolithic village in the Yellow River Valley. The top NZ trading partners are china, Europe, Australia and USA 

9T English

English this year was very fun and tough. The beginning of the year we had to do slides talking about ourselves. Then we had to do 2 minute speeches and it was very hard to start the year off but I finished it and got a merit, my speech was about the issues within our school. After we finished speeches, we started to do Rapid Reading Response before every lesson of English I think this has really helped my reading. Then we had to read a novel and answer questions this novel was called see ya Simon this book was about Simon and he had a disease called muscular dystrophy . We then had a short story that we also had to rewrite and answer a few questions to this short story, the story was about the balaclava which is about a boy stealing a beanie. the second to last thing we did this year was film study for these lessons we had  this is where you watch a film and study it we watched stand by me, this film was about boys that ran away to find one of their brothers. This term we have been learning about creative writing, for creative writing we have been learning about verbs, adverbs, adjectives, similes and personification. I have learnt alot during this year of English, Thank you to Whaea Annette for welcoming me in her class and letting us do whatever for most Fridays, I will miss you next year :)

Nz Exported Product

In social studies we have been learning about NZ exported products. I was required to make a slideshow and answer a few questions. For our NZ Export product we chose to research alcohol, we chose to do this subject because it is a well known product around the world and also around NZ , another reason why we chose this product is because it is easy to research about and also cause everybody loves it.

Creative writing

 It was a bright and shiny afternoon the elephants stomping, the forest chirping, the snakes are sssing and the prey sprinting for their lives, the hunters were hunting, the river was glowing, the trees were flowing, the grass is growing. Coming out from in deep from the forest was a giant muscular lion getting ready for a feeding frenzy. So all the animals run for their lives.
