Statistical Investigation

 For math my workshop did a statistical investigation. We had to gather some data and make some sort of chart on google sheets, and had to make an infographic about it. We needed to have a title, a screenshot of the data, our chart, and 2 statements on how we understand and analysed our data. Here is my infographic and my chart and data.

My Haiku!

 For writing we have learning about poetry. We had 4 types of poems to choose from, a haiku, rhymed poetry, riddle poem, and a shape poem. I chose to do a haiku. My genre for my haiku was football/soccer. Here is my haiku.

What's your favorite type of poem?

rate and ratio

 For math we learnt about rates and ratios, there was 4 questions I had to choose to work on. The question I worked on was: Mrs Newbould’s car uses 11 litres of petrol for every 120km. How much petrol is needed to travel the 360 km to her friend's house in Dunedin? Here is what I have done for my create task:

speech

For writing the teacher paired us up and we had to write comments/feedback on each others speech. Here is the feedback that I have gotten on my speech.

The lighter red highlight is what I added to my conclusion:

"There is no clear answer to this question because the way one would answer this question depends on what kind of person they are. For example, some people might find peace and happiness if they had enough discretionary income to do whatever they want. On the other hand, others might believe that there are more important things in life such as living in a safe location and having good relationships with friends and family members, but at the end of the day, the amount of money you have won’t matter. “Money is not everything in life. "Some believe no relationship is possible without money but no amount of money can buy love or happiness” Quote by Chitra Withane. Does money buy you happiness?"

Money Can't Buy Happiness

Money Can’t Buy Happiness 

Introduction:

Money can't buy happiness, but it can improve the things that make us happy.

It is a common saying that money can't buy happiness. What does this really mean? It means that you don't need to be rich in order to have a good life and experience joy. 

Paragraph 1:

As my first statement, if anything, having more money just brings more responsibility and stress instead of happiness. The expression also means that you don’t need luxurious items in order to feel happy: simple things like nature, family time and hobbies are likely to make you happy without any extra effort or expense on your part.

Paragraph 2:

Secondly, money isn’t always the key to happiness. I have done research and found many studies that have been done to see if there is a correlation between wealth and happiness. One study of 26 countries found that people who live in wealthier countries tend to be happier than those who live in poorer countries. The study also found similar results when looking at people within each country, regardless of how wealthy the country was overall.

Paragraph 3:

To sum up what has been said so far, money can't buy happiness, but obviously it can make life easier. With money, we are able to get things like food and water. But in the end, these things are not going to be what we will remember when we think back on our lives, it’ll be the happy moments in life, like the ones we achieve without money, like the moments with family or friends.

Conclusion:

There is no clear answer to this question because the way one would answer this question depends on what kind of person they are. For example, some people might find peace and happiness if they had enough discretionary income to do whatever they want. On the other hand, others might believe that there are more important things in life such as living in a safe location and having good relationships with friends and family members, but at the end of the day, the amount of money you have won’t matter. “Money can’t buy happiness” Quote by Howard Hughes.

My Inner Peace!

For the past two weeks in reading we have been learning about inner peace and what it means/looks to us, there are four types of inner peace: spiritual, social, physical, and mental. We had to make a digital or physical shape full of things that brought us peace, like reading a book or something. 

 

1. What does inner peace look like to you?

Inner peace is something that makes you calm and mellow, like zoning out and listening to music.

2. Describe what you have written/drawn.

I drew the beach, because whenever me and my family go there, it brings me peace,  and I also drew a tv and a book, I have also drawn 'me' listening to music and I have wrote down "Family".

3. Consider the 4 walls, which one are you most at peace with and which one do you need to work on?

I think I am most at peace with my spiritual health and I need to work on my physical health.
