Budget for retirement

Think about what weekly expenses might be in today’s money.

• Take basics into account, such as insurance, maintaining the house and car, or replacing a major appliance.
• Build-in some funds for the unexpected.
• Think about the big things that might need to be paid for later on – like a new car, a new roof, or repainting the house.

1.What happen if you retire?

Many Kiwi Saver providers will let you remain in their Kiwi Saver Scheme and continue to manage your money for you even if you are eligible to withdraw – so although you won't receive any member tax credits, you can continue to save. You may also be able to consolidate any other retirement savings into the same account.

2.Time frame to their retirement?

You can access your Kiwi Saver savings at the age of 65. Once you’ve reached the age of 65 you can opt-out of this requirement and make a partial or full withdrawal, however, if you do so you will forego your entitlement to the Government contribution and compulsory employer contributions.

3.How much $ to invest?

When you join Kiwi Saver, you either pick a fund you want to invest in, or if you can't decide, the IRD picks one for you. After that, your employer must contribute the value of 3% of your gross salary into your Kiwi Saver fund. You will also have to contribute at least 3% of the gross amount.

4. How much do they went to pay in management fees?

Key Takeaways. The average fee for a financial advisor's services is 1.02% of assets under management (AUM) annually for an account of $1 million. An actively-managed portfolio usually involves a team of investment professionals buying and selling holdings–leading to higher fees.

Volcanoes

 What are the main Types/shapes of Volcanoes?

The 3 main types of volcanoes are the cinder cones, composite volcanoes, and shield volcanoes.

Cinder cones- They are built from particles and blobs of congealed lava ejected from a single vent. As the gas-charged lava is blown violently into the air, it breaks into small fragments that solidify and fall as cinders around the vent to form a circular or oval cone.

Composite volcanoes- The other name is a stratovolcano. A stratovolcano, also known as a composite volcano, is a conical volcano built up by many layers of hardened lava, tephra, pumice, and ash. The lava flowing from stratovolcanoes typically cools and hardens before spreading far, due to high viscosity.

Sheild Volcano-A shield volcano is a wide volcano with shallowly-sloping sides. Consequently, a volcanic mountain having a broad profile is built up over time by flow after flow of relatively fluid basaltic lava issuing from vents or fissures on the surface of the volcano.

Note:

Tsunami and Surf Waves

 Tsunami 

A tsunami is a series of waves caused by earthquakes or undersea volcanic eruptions. But as the waves travel inland, they build up to higher and higher heights as the depth of the ocean decreases.

Surf Waves 

The surf is what you see when you stand on the beach and look at the ocean waves rising and breaking on the shore. It's also what you do when you ride those waves. Surf means "crashing waves," but it's also a verb meaning to ride those waves with a surfboard.

Top 3 Countries That Are Prone To Earthquakes

 The Countries They Have The Most Earthquake

1.China

China has the highest number of earthquakes in any country. Most of these earthquakes happened in the southwest region of the country, where the terrain is highly mountainous. The rugged terrain and harsh climate of this region are not beneficial to support high populations. However, due to the poor transportation infrastructure and remote mountainous topography of the southwest, rescue and recovery after an earthquake become an extremely challenging task.

2.Indonesia 

Indonesia ranks as the world’s second most earthquake-prone country. The primary reason for the high frequency of earthquakes in Indonesia is its location on the Ring of Fire. The majority of the world’s earthquakes happen in the Ring of Fire, which encompasses a shoe-shaped area of about 40,000 square km. The movement of tectonic plates in the area, as well as submarine or surface volcanic eruptions, have triggered many earthquakes that have affected Indonesia over the centuries.

3.Iran

Iran has the third most earthquake country in the world and has experienced at least 106 earthquakes from 1900 to 2016. The country exists where the Eurasian and Arabian tectonic plates meet. The Zagros Mountains, one of the world’s youngest mountain range, developed in the area due to the subduction of the Arabian place under the Iranian plate. 

P.E

 For the past few weeks of Pe, Our class was tasked with learning and practically doing gymnastics. Gradually being able to do gymnastics in the trampoline, bar swing, and so on. As we progressively learnt how to do the correct skills and techniques to do it. Although the last period in PE was spent in mundane dumbness as me and my mates decided to do piles of us ontop of each other weighing down every single last one of us. 

Treaty Of Union

 In Social Studies, we have been learning about the treaty of Waitangi. We were asked to do a mini Inquiry on another Treaty. My research was on the treaty of union. Here are me and my partner's presentation.

Recount Orientation

On Friday the 4th of September, The 10 Esol class went on a class trip by taxi van to the Antarctica center with Mrs. Flores, Miss Briggs, and Mrs. Handley. 

At 8.40 in the morning, the 10 Esol class departed from Hornby high School to the Antarctica center. When we arrived at the Antarctica Centre at 9.00 am we met our instructor Jayne and we went to the workshop to talk about the explorers that had an adventure time in Antarctica back in the 1800s to 1900s.

Soon after the talk with Jayne, we got in the Hagglunds. We had a great time on the ride on the Hagglund with my classmates. The ride was bumpy and thrilling. The two instructors told us that the Hagglund was invented in Sweden to replace husky, of military transport and it was first used in 1970. It weighed up to 4530 kg and for 50,000 dollars. The best think about the Hagglund ride was when it went on the water and it floats.

Soon after the ride, we went to the penguin with Jayne. We meet the penguin and the lady who takes care of the penguins and feed them. It was time for the penguin to eat so the lady feeds them. The lady told us all of the penguins were rescued for e.g some have broken fin or blind. The oldest penguin was 17 years old. The little blue penguin is the little penguin in the world.

Soon after seeing the penguin and learning the penguin, we went to the 4D movie. We watch a movie called Ice Voyage. The movie was about the people tripping to Antarctica and the people in the movie climb a mountain to Antarctica. We were watching the movie and I felt like I was on the trip with them. The movie was a wild and thrilling movie.

Furthermore, watching the awesome great magnificent movie we had free time. Our teachers and instructor Jayne told us to go for a break. It was free time everyone went to eat food from home. Some of my classmates went to the cafe to buy some food but the food was expensive. The cafe is located beside the gift shop.

Soon after the free time, we went to the storm room. Before going into the storm room we prepared to wear some warm clothes and put a wrap on our shoes so that we won't seep on the ice. The storm room was dark and cold, we saw an igloo. When the wind started blowing everybody ran into the igloo. We were in the storm room of 8 minutes and the room temperature was -8 degree. When they turned it up to -18 degree everybody was very cold and everyone wanted to go to the small igloo. But not everyone could fit in there.

At 11.10 am we went to the gallery. The gallery full of explorers and stuff from Antarctica. We also did the booklet that we got from our teachers when the trip started. we also saw the amount of food the Explorers took when they went to Antarctica. The gallery was the final place in the Antarctica Centre that we went to before we head back to school.

At 12.40 am we went back to school.

Technology and Change

 For the past few weeks of Term 3, I worked on researching inventions or discoveries during the Stone age Period. We were given choices to pick which era or period to pick from and the one I have chosen is the Stone age. 

 During the stone age period in history, there were some significant technological advancements. Some of the inventions during this time were cave paintings, axes, and clothing. These inventions are still seen and used today. 

An important invention seen during the Stone period was a stone axe. The axe is a primitive made of chipped stone. A blunt axe used for cutting stone. The hand-axe was perhaps the most popular tool of the Stone Age; used for cutting and scavenging purposes. Specifically, the Acheulean hand-axe of the Paleolithic Age predates most, if not all other tools. To make sharp edges on these hand-axes, flaking was used on the hard stone to chip away at it.  The axe overtime updated to much better creative to help humanity gather resource from nature such as chainsaw to gather wood from the trees. he is why this is an important invention in this stone period.

An important invention seen during the stone period was cave painting. Cave art is significant because it was what people in prehistoric times did in order to record history and culture. But, prehistoric cave art was also significant because it also served as a warning to people who were to come later. For example, they could show the way to kill a beast or warn them of a beast. Overtime painting evolved from a rough surface to the proper wall of art with vibrant cool. This is why this an important invention in the stone period. 

An important invention seen during the stone period was clothing. The Stone Age is the first period of human history, so Stone Age people were the first to create clothing. While they had a temperate climate throughout some of the Stone Age, they also went through some ice ages, making warm clothing essential to protect them from the weather. As clothes are now daily essential that humans need to go about in their daily lives.  

During the stone age period, these are some inventions that were discovered during the stone age period.  These are some of the essential and important inventions seen during that period example the axe, cave painting and the clothing. As the things mentioned above are the things widely used in this current day and age but in an advanced state. Since the invention of these creations dating back thousands of years, Gradually as eras come and go. These will keep on evolving as the human mind has no limits and that many possibilities may still lit up and be brought upon in today’s society.

1.What is the song about?Just before the song was to be released as a single in December of 1964, Sam Cooke would be shot to death at a motel in Los Angeles. Guralnick says "A Change Is Gonna Come" is now much more than a civil rights anthem. It's become a universal message of hope, one that does not age.

2.Who is Sam Cooke? The person who wrote A change is gonna come.

3.What do you think of this song? it is a civil right song.

Nanook Journey To Antarctic

The next day I woke up early than usual and the saw the beautiful orange-gold sun rising up the great white mountain that looked like fluffy candy floss. It was the first time Nanook Saw the sunrise. Furthermore, Hector woke up and wake all of the husky up. Hector said today is the day we are leaving Lyttelton and going to the Antarctic. A while later Nanook joined his team with Hector. They all hop into the boat and started looking back to the island. Hours passed by we couldn’t see any land anymore. The sea was all around as we were looking at the fishes the shark and the whale going to the Antarctic. A moment later the temperature starts drooping down and we could feel the cold breeze blooming to our fur. It was the Antarctic. We were at the bottom of the world. Bob (caretaker of all the husky) came out and put the harness on us and we learned on the Antarctic. It was my first in Antarctica but Hector came here already. It was his fifth time in Antarctica. My team and I were just newbies but Hector told us everything to know about the Antarctic. Hector, he was like a friend to me. Days pass by and our friendship became as strong as the stone, bigs the ocean in the world. In simple, we became best friends.

 

Music

 

What wrote the song? What is the song called ? Glory by John legend Common. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUZOKvYcx_o

What is the song purpose?  the struggles reenacted, but it's a song of hope for society today. Justice was not fully achieved after the events with Martin Luther King Jr. and the song reflects how justice still needs to be served in situations of police brutality today.

What did you take from the song ? The lack of equality of people's point of view.

Science

 Science

Speed Test.

In science we have been learning about how to  calculate speed from dividing distance and time. We used this to investigate the speed of cars on Carmen Road .We measure the road up to 50 meters with measuring tape and we timed the speed of each car went from one light post to the other light post. Furthermore, we had to find the speed of the 10 cars. We divided distance by time to find the speed. After we find the speed we saw three out of ten cars over speed the limit from the traffic light. We came back to class and added up all the times of the car and divide it by ten to find the average time.
