how to save money

saving money - mitchell

Hey you! Are you looking for some ways to save money? Do you spend too much money on things you don’t need? Do you need more money for more important stuff? Well here is a solution I think will end all your problems. 

Here are some optional ways you could save money. Firstly you should start putting money aside. If you earn pocket money from your parents daily instead put it in a money box that you can’t touch or maybe only spend around 3 - 4 dollars. Here’s a challenge : If you want to you can put away every 5 dollar note you find or receive and spend all of it at the end of the year. Also it is good to save for the future in-case of an emergency. You could even hide a 10 dollar note in a book for an emergency when you run out. This will help you to save more money and also think better for what could happen if you run out during a hard time.

Another idea includes to stop buying things you don’t need. For Example : instead of buying chocolate bars, bubblegum packs , bags of potato chips after school, save it for something more useful like school stationary or even to reward yourself at the end of the year buy something you like or have been wanting for so long.  Purchasing items you need will prevent you from buying things you don’t need in the future. For Example when you become a adult and you really want this new phone everyone else is getting, instead pay your rent and save for it later. I do think this will help you to realize what’s more important in life. 

Finally the last way to save money is to shop smart. If you go shopping at the mall and you want to buy some shoes from a store you could look at the discounts they currently offer in the store. Maybe they would have a discount with some items - $150 black chucks with a 20% off discount. Or to shop even smarter if you have time, I would recommend to go to every store in the mall and compare the prices of the exact item. I do think that this will save money. Even if it’s by 1 dollar. If you are buying a chocolate milkshake for $5.50 maybe the ice cream shop a few steps away offers to sell it for $4.00 

Now that you have read some ways you could save money you could use these tips next time you go shopping. Remember think shop and save smart. It could save you a couple of dollars in the future.

Swift Playground - Extension

Hi Bloggers. Today at Extension we had the opportunity to experience the coding of Swift Playground.  Swift Playground is a coding app you can download on any mobile device or an ipad. We used an ipad! We first opened up Swift Playground and choose a level to complete. It was named “Bug Squash Practice”. I used it with my friend Kyron. We then figured out the code for the avatar to collect the gem to complete the next level.

There was a set of code for us to complete it. Turn Left, Collect Gem, Toggle Switch, Move Forward. Toggle Switch was for you to jump on a button which gives you points. Not only that but we decided to code our friends, recording with ipads and telling them what to do to find something you have hidden in the room.

It was a good challenge. The most difficult part about using Swift Playground was that there was limited moves of code so in order to turn right you had to press Turn Left about 3 - 4 times. The most fun part about doing it was figuring out how to code it.

Digital Nations - 2030 - #1 Extension Trip!

Hey Bloggers! On Monday, the Year 7 & 8 Extension group had the opportunity to attend the Digital Nations 2030 Conference/Summit located at Cordis Hotel in Auckland, New Zealand. 

If you would like to see our experience click here  http://www.maoritelevision.com/news/regional/ngati-whatua-makes-moves-tech-sector.

So we bought our permission slips to school and left in the bus. When we arrived we were all shocked. We were surprised of how nice the hotel was! We walked in and the hotel looked jaw - dropping. We were all so shocked. Anyways we walked down these steps to enter a room.

Inside the room it was full of laptops, robots, tech and heaps more! We first sat down and we talked with our friend who has been teaching us to code since last year! Her name was Zoe from OMG Tech! She explained to us what we will be doing today and the kind of things we will be coding. After all of that we finally rushed off to any laptop or robot we could find. I started to code on this website named Code Avengers. There were certain levels you had to pass in order to earn a prize. I worked my way up and earned a sticker and a small chocolate bar which was awesome!

I switched to the next rotation which was coding a robot. It was very precise instructions we had to follow or else the robot will go and do another instruction you didn't tell it to do. We put all the information up and uploaded it onto the robot with an cord. It was really cool how we coded the robot!

We also participated in Makey-Makey were you could control a instrument tapping fruit. It was really cool. Also we went to the bathroom and it was really fancy and wealthy. There was golden tiles on the floor and there was a really nice hand soap we used which smelled so nice.
