How is Money Made.......

 Kia Ora, Welcome back to my blog. This Week for writing we had to create a text about what ever you wanted. Last week we did a plan you had to choose your title/what your text is going to be about, You 3 main ideas, some vocabulary, 3 facts for each main point and feedback from a friend! Here My text and my Plan!

How is Money made in different parts of the world?


All around the world there are different types of money. There are different ways that countries make and use money. This text will be about how some countries make and use money. 


Firstly Let's Talk about wonderful New Zealand. The people on New Zealand notes are $5= Sir Edmund Hillary, mountaineer $10= Kate Sheppard, suffragette $20=Queen Elizabeth II, The Queen

$50=Apirana Ngata, Maori politician $100=Ernest Rutherford, physicist.On 10 July 1967 New Zealand started using Dollars before 10 July 1967 New Zealand used Pounds. New Zealand’s money is also in Cook Islands, Niue, Tokelau and the Pitcairn Islands. New Zealand's money used to be made out of polypropylene plastic But in May 1999 New zealand's money was and is printed out onto cotton paper. The first bank in New zealand was Union Bank of Australia. One of the top banks used in New Zealand is ASB and Kiwi Bank..


Secondly let's talk about the humongous famous America. In America they call money dollars or bills. The People on American Bills are: George Washington on the $1 bill, Thomas Jefferson on the $2 bill, Abraham Lincoln on the $5 bill, Alexander Hamilton on the $10 bill, Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill, Ulysses S. Grant on the $50 bill, and Benjamin Franklin on the $100 bill. American money is 75% Cotton and 25% linen. Over two-thirds of all $100 bills are held outside the U.S. Dollar bills can be folded at least 8,000 times, which is 20x more than a normal sheet of paper. That's because dollar bills are made of a special 75% cotton and 25% linen blend.


Lastly Let's Talk about the freezing cold England! Queen Elizebth the II is on all of the Pound notes. The British notes are made out of polymer because it is cleaner, safer and stronger than paper. United Kingdom, Jersey, Guernsey, the Isle of Man, Gibraltar, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, the British Antarctic Territory, and Tristan da Cunha. Around 980 A.D one pound could buy 15 heads of cattle.


In conclusion New Zealand, America and England’s money are all mainly made of the same stuff But the facts about their money are super interesting!


( glossary, Cattle=Cow heads, Herengi= Money in Maori, Dollars= what americans called money, Pound = what Englands calls their money

You can't change your character.

                                           You can't change your character.

Kia Ora Bloggers, This week for writing we had to make persuasive texts. I choose to write about you can't change your charters here is my story!


If the words or sentences are in the color that's what I have added this week.

I’m going to be trying to persuade you with my words about you can't change your character. I am totally against this. I know that anyone and everyone can change their character. Let's kick off with my first reason why you can change your character!


Firstly, Prison: When a lot of people come out of Prison their personality changes.

 They know that they have done something bad, So they have thought long and hard about how they can change who they are/were and

 how they act around others. Alot of them also change their grit and how they push through things. Therefore that shows that everyone and everyone can change their character no matter if they have or haven't been in Prison.


Secondly Scientifically proven: People say that you can and you can't change your character. Somethings you can change is how you act around others. You can change your grit the way you push through things, But somethings you can’t change is the past or how you acted in the past. Also the way you’ve been brought up and how your parents taught you to do things, the things that can impact on your character. Lastly your background, The background of when you were younger and how you were brought up. 


Finally, Most importantly Personal experiences: You can change the way you act. I used to be quite mean myself. 

My friends told me to try and be nicer so I used grit.

 Try using grit like I did you can change your life and you can turn it around like I have. You can  also change your grit, (The way you push through things). My grit has changed a lot. I used to just give up on everything I couldn't do. But now I push myself and aim past my limits for everything I do.


In conclusion I totally think that everyone and anyone can change their character no matter what they have gone through. Do you agree with these statements?


Do you agree or disagree with my statements?
