The New Zealand currency

I had a lovely comment from a teacher called Mrs Yollis and she sad why not post about some New Zealand currency. So I decided to post the notes and coins. The lowest amount of currency is 10 cents and then 20 cents and the highest note is $100. The person on the 5 dollar note is Sir Edmond Hillary the first person to reach the top of mount Everest. The lady on the $10 note is Kate Sheppard she helped the woman vote. On the $20 is the Queen of England and other countries. on the $50 Sir Apirana Ngata. He is known as the first Maori politician to have ever served in parliament and on the $100 note is Sir Lord Rutherford of Nelson known for the father of nuclear physics. If you have any other currency you know comment down bellow!    

Virginia 1788



Hi over the past days I have had a comment from one of the best bloggers in the world called Mrs Yollis. She asked me what this coin was and I said "It's the Virginia 1788 coin also with Jamestown 1607-2007" The mint mark is: D. The total amount produced is 651,616,000. It is worth 0.25 cent in USD. A rendering of the arrival in 1607 of the three ships, Susan Constant, Godspeed and Discovery to Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement, is accompanied with the legends "JAMESTOWN 1607-2007" and "QUADRICENTENNIAL. Also on the bottom it has 2000 and the word "E PLURIBUS UNUM" If you know anymore information please comment down below.

Flooding

Flooding from Mackenna Chittenden on Vimeo.

Hi my name is Caro and today I have a video about a recent flooding event in Taranaki. Opunake had the worst because when we were going to Opunake there was water all over the road and we had to go very slow. Also we had hail today and our whole front lawn was covered in it and it looked so amazing. The rain also has effected some farmers since it is calving season. 

Enjoy!

The Payout

 Over 2014-2015 farmers have been worried about "THE PAYOUT" The payout was at $8.00 at the end of 2014 and the start of 2015. But.....
It's now $3.85. " I'm sure farmers are extremely worried on what's going to happen next! The payout is when the milk get auctioned and it gets valued by different country's in the word and our major country that we sell milk to is "CHINA" But at the moment the won't buy our milk so the payout is low and that is a big difference for farmers. "Come on CHINA"

My dancing exam

Today at 3.40pm I went to hāwera to compete in a dancing exam and for my number I was number 4. The exam took 40 minutes and we had to complete 15 routines and it was so tiring. We have to wear black jazz shoes and everything black. We have a pink ribbon in our hair that went around our bun. The other that I did it with are: Ashley, Cady, Sarah and Caro (Me). The lady who done my hair is called Megan. My dancing teacher's name is Michele Glover and I have done dancing for 6 years.

After a short amount of time the team got find. In October 2007, following New Zealand's exit from the 2007 Rugby World Cup, Collins was vacationing in Devon when he was spotted by Barnstaple head coach Kevin Squire who invited him to watch it play at the weekend.

Maori language week

 

As you know it is Maori language week in New Zealand and Myself, Bethany, Jorja, Harry and Zariah created a video when we demonstrate the Maori hand game "PEKE" Whiu means pass it on. Patu means it will rebound off your arm. Peke means jump on person. Peke Roa means jump to people. The filming was done by Mackenna edited by Harry and Zariah and actors Bethany, Caro, Harry, Jorja and Zariah. Each classroom has to create a video and we thought " Why what do PEKE" So enjoy viewers.

The Farming Lifestyle

Untitled from Mackenna Chittenden on Vimeo.

 Over the past few days my family have been on the farm helping with the calves and I thought that I could create a video of the style of farming like:

• The tanker what collects the milk
• Calving
• Maze to feed the cows

And of course "THE PAYOUT" The pay out is important to Farmers because it is how the milk is valued and at the moment it is very low.

 

 

So far we have had over 300 cows in and still 600 more to calve. We have got 100 keepers, 24 Jersey Bulls and about 176 bobbies.

 

 

The milk tanker comes every 4 milkings to collect the milk and take it to the factory to be stored and put into milk bottles that soon go into stores.

 

 

We feed our calves Meal, Powder , Hay and of course Milk. We feed the calves Gold milk and other sorts of fresh milk that our farm produces. The most calves we have had in a day this year is 80. 50 bobbies and 30 keepers.
