Kiwi Saver Advertisement

How does Kiwi Saver Work?
Kiwi Saver is a voluntary savings scheme set up by the government to help New Zealanders to save for their retirement. You can choose to contribute 3%, 4%, 6%, 8% or 10% of your gross (before tax) wage or salary to our Kiwis saver account. … Your savings are invested on your behalf by the Kiwi Saver provider of your choice.
What Happens 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.
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.
How much Money 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.
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.

An Inspector Calls
Manhattan Sweatshop Fire, A Fire breaks out at the Triangle Shirtwaist Company in Manhattan on March 25th. The building was overcrowded with women immigrant workers and poor safety standards including the doors to the stairwells and exits were locked allowing no exit from the fire on the eighth, ninth, and tenth floors which meant the women either burned in the fire or took a chance of surviving by jumping from windows one hundred feet above the street. The fire caused the death of 146 garment workers, almost all of them women, who either died from the fire or jumped from the fatal height.

Tsunami and Surf
Tsunamis and waves are both water waves. they are a mode of energy transfer and can be described by their wavelength, speed, Frequency, period, amlitude (height), and energy. As waves behave they can be reflected and two waves can interfere with each other. 
Tsunamis have more energy than surf wave, so they last for longer and are much faster. The shape of the two waves is also completely different.

Rock Types in NZ
New Zealand's Rocks

New Zealand rocks are mainly mapped in terms of their age of formation and their rock type. In addition, the older rocks that form New Zealand’s geological basement are also divided in terms of their position relative to an ancient, now inactive tectonic plate boundary that bisects South Island and North Island. This boundary formed along the edge of Gondwanaland. The rock divisions, therefore, have overlapping ages.
- main geological rock types in New Zealand:
- *Youngest sediments.
- *Young volcanic rocks.
- *Sedimentary cover rocks.
- *Eastern greywacke basement.
- *Eastern schist basement.
- *Central volcanic sedimentary basement.
- *Western metamorphic and sedimentary basement.
- *Granite and other intrusives.

Wind-racer Experiment
For over 4 periods of science, our class is tasked with creating a sail for our wind cart or wind racer for the test on Friday. In my group, we decided to do a trapezium shape for our sail, But we also went and thought about adding three possible layers of triangle-ish shaped sails to see if it has effects.
This may be similar to what we plan on making [Inspiration]

Technology and Change
- During the Stone Age period in history, there were some significant technological advancements.
Some of the inventions during this time were Cave paintings, Axes, weapons.
Cave paintings The earliest known European figurative cave paintings are those of Chauvet Cave in France. These paintings date to earlier than 30,000 BCE (Upper Paleolithic) according to radiocarbon dating. 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. Because of this, they could show the way to kill a beast or warn them of a beast.
- The handaxe is perhaps one of the popular inventions is seen during the Stone age period. It is used for cutting meat and scrapers for cleaning animal hides to chop trees and wood. Used for cutting and scavenging purposes. A hand Axe/Handaxe is a prehistoric stone tool with two faces that is the longest-used tool in human history. It is usually made from flint or chert. It is characteristic of the lower Acheulean and middle Paleolithic (Mousterian) Periods. To make sharp edges on these hand-axes, flaking was used on the hard stone to chip away at it A hand. Through stone tools date back at least 2.6 million years, this tool is around 300,000 years old and was collected between 1883 and 1890.
During the Stone Age, there were many Significant technological advancements Some of the inventions during this time were Fire, Daggers, Pointed Spears, Handaxe. Daggers were very helpful during those times by killing Animals to get food whether it was used to protect themselves from predators, Fire was also used to protect themselves from predators by scaring them, it is also used to be warm at night, at to see in the dark, to cook food, Handaxe used to chop something like a tree, chop woods. These are seen today as re-established and re-manufactured by people and make a business out of it this is also seen today as An Historical Events of what is leftover or what we/ us humans develop skills. These inventions are still relevantly used today whether its survival, camping

Science
In science, we have been learning about how to
calculate speed - Speed is a measure of how far an object can travel in a certain amount of time. We used the formula V(speed)= d (distance) / t (time).
Aerodynamics - As air moves down over the rear wing of the car, it produces a downforce. This downforce helps the car maintain grip when cornering at high speeds.
Mass & Weight - The mass of an object is the amount of matter or "stuff" it contains. The more matter an object contains the Greater its mass.
Friction - Friction is a force that occurs when two materials rub together. Friction always acts to oppose (prevent or stop) the movement of an object. Drag is another name for the friction that occurs when an object moves through a fluid, such as water.
Calculating forces - The amount of force acting on an object can be calculated using its mass and its acceleration. A scientist shows the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration using the formula:
(F net = ma)
Balanced and Unbalanced Forces - Balanced forces are forces that act on an object but cancel each other out because they are the same size and are acting in opposite directions.
Forces, and Motion - In physics, a force is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object.
Yesterday in class we used our learning to investigate Speeding Past School
- As group we present our idea to the teacher. By investigating cars at the side of the road. Measuring Cars Speed passing school. (To convert speed measured in m s-1 o km hr-1 multiply by 3-6)
Calculating 10 Cars and figuring it's speed by: V(speed)= d (distance) / t (time). (Distance Devided by time)
- Coordination improve to try and accurate, measure and time the cars.
