Enterprise Studies - Impulse Buying Brochure

 

This week for Enterprise Studies we have been learning about impulse Buying. Impulse buying is when you buy things unnecessarily when shopping at a store. We first learnt about what Impulse buying was, why people impulse buy, and the consequences that can happen when you impulse buy. We were then tasked to create a brochure that explains things about Impulse Buying, we also were asked to add in the words Impulse and savings. I decided to create a google drawing as I found it the easiest to work with when creating a brochure.

Personally, I like my brochure because it's simple and gives information about Impulse Buying, as the topic isn't that hard. It is also easy to read and isn't too long. I could've done better is I had more time but I'm still happy with the result. There aren't many easy ways to stop impulse buying because everyone does it without realising, most have to take a while to get into because you have to get into the habit of stopping yourself from buying something that looks interesting

What was the last thing you have impulse bought?

Social Studies - Treaty Of Waitangi History Road

 This term for Social Studies we are learning about the Treaty of Waitangi. Even though we know a lot about the treaty we still don't know everything about what happened before and while the treaty was being signed. We were then asked to create a history road about five events that happened before the treaty was signed. This is what I have made.

Enterprise Studies - FAQ's about Banking

This term for Enterprise Studies we have been learning about accounting. For the past two weeks, we have been learning about banking and how banks can work. So far we have been learning about what account types there are, the benefits, the drawbacks, interest rates, the requirements, and which account could be best for you. After learning about banking we were asked to create a DLO that either explains terms used in banking or write frequently asked questions that people ask when wanting to create a bank account. I chose to write frequently asked questions that people ask when opening or deciding to open a bank account. It was a little hard as I was thinking of questions that people may ask when opening an account and couldn't find many that could fit the question properly on most banking sites.

 

 Personally, I think these questions are what many people ask when opening an account, especially questions about which account is good for them. I would also ask these questions when choosing a bank as well to figure out which bank gives me the most benefits when and after I open my account. I think these questions can also answer questions that might not have gone through your head when deciding to open an account.

What account would you open and why?

Volcanoes

 Krakatoa

Where is it? 

• Rakata Island, Indonesia

When did it last erupt?

• 2020, started in 1883

Damage it has done?

• Krakatoa has done a lot of damage to the places and people around it. 

• In 1833 Krakatoa first erupted. Ash fell on Singapore, Cocos Island, and ships as far as 6067 km west-northwest. Darkness covered the Sunda Straits from 11 a.m on the 27th until the next day. At least 36,417 people were killed, most people died from giant sea waves, and coastal villages were destroyed. When the eruption ended, only ⅓ of Krakatau remained above sea level and new islands formed from the magma spewing out of the volcano

• It had destroyed and formed lands while also causing havoc for residents and other countries.

How and when was it formed?

• Since Krakatoa lies along the Indian-Australian and Eurasian tectonic plates its how it was formed. Because the two tectonic plates are dangerous at risk of high volcanic and seismic activity it's pretty common that one was made. It supposedly started/formed in 400 BC. 

Interesting random facts?

• the first eruption lasted one minute and 12 seconds 

• The 1883 eruption was the loudest sounds ever reported in the history

•  Records held that 165 villages and towns surrounding Kratatoa were destroyed and 132 more were seriously damaged 

• Karatoa had killed 30.000+ people

• in August 1883 was one of the most deadly colacine eruptions in modern history, it is estimated that more than 36.00 people died. the eruption also affected the climate and caused the temperature to drop over the world.

• Karatoa belongs to the ring of fire
