basic facts

To improve on my basic facts I need to work on being more familiar with them and work on being faster. I am going to practice my basic facts by printing out a sheet and practicing them all lots then writing them all out then saying them when I am not looking at them.

St Mary's

Today I went to the St Mary's open day three of the year 13's took us on a tour of  St Mary's and it had way more subjects than I suspected such as food technology, soft materials, physics, german, japanese, french, Maori, music, gym, I.T./digital technology, R.E, english, math, biology, chemistry, art and classical art  . It was a good experience but we might not go there because there are a few other school to consider.

Open day at St Mary's Collage

Tomorrow the year eight girls and I will be going to the St Mary's Collage open day from 8:00 am - 10:00am. The others are going to St Brigid's for Catholic schools day. I hope to meet nice people and not be afraid to ask questions. Hopefully this experience will help me decide where I want to go for collage. I also want to see what clubs  and classes they have so if I go there I can start to decide what I want to be in. to make the day go better I will ask questions so that everyone knows the answer.

Financial Literacy

Hi,

Yesterday a dude came to teach us about getting a job and how to save money. He also told us about eftpos cards and credit cards. He told us if you borrow money from the bank the longer you don't pay back the more it will cost you this is called interest. I think the main ideas of this lesson were to pick a job that lets you do what you like doing (or is what you like doing)....the other main idea is to "spend some on you but save some to".



I think these relate to me because I don't really save money.  I think that I need to change that i spend all my money when I get it.
