On a Wednesday we go to the mighty McFarlane park to play the mighty game of touch.
At touch we play against other schools or teams that have been created by players parents.
,But when touch is cancelled I feel sad because I really love to play touch because it is one of my favourite sports or anything that contains a ball I like. I call my team the mighty mighty vipers cause our team are made of really good players that show great sportsmanship and are always nice to people and have great personality.

My summary about Fair chocolate

Fair Chocolate-Renata Hopkins

This book is based upon Ewan the chocolate maker.

This books explains what fair-trade means and the it shows the

steps of chocolate.

Chocolate supplies is mostly from Africa or Dominican republic.

Ewans warehouse full of chocolate increased the price of there chocolate by 60%.

All of the fair-trade companies were made in a huge factory.

Ewan Cameron made a the first fair-trade company in 1973 in the Christchurch suburb of Sydenham.The aim of Ewans business was to make heaps of money. Ewan said he agrees it is good to get what you want for the cheapest prices ,but he also wants to make money.

BANQER

What is Banqer, Banqer is a fun app for children to use and learn things like Kiwi saver so that when they go to high school to learn about it they would have a bit of knowledge.
And when you finish school and move on to the big world you have the idea what your Kiwi saver is and what income is.

Banqer in my option is a great app to learn about money saving and job finding you even have to write a CV about what you are good at what you would like to do for your job and see if the job would fit you and you have to get interviewed at our school to see if you are worthy enough for the job that you would like.
