Greece: The Country I Want To Visit

Greece is a country in Southeastern Europe with thousands of islands throughout the Aegean sea and Ionian seas.

The main reason I want to visit Greece is to visit the temples of the Gods like The Parthenon a temple dedicated to the Goddess of wisdom Athena,historic sites like the town of Delphi and see some landmarks like The Meteora Monastries.

The second reason I want to visit Greece is to try the yummy food like Souvlaki,Gyro and Taramasulata.

$200 note

Today we made our own $200 dollar note we had to add a bird a NZ icon a color for the note holograph parts and a landmark which all have to be connected to the icon I chose Margret Mahy the world renowned author.Here is a explanation for my choices.

Why Margret Mahy?
She was a world  renowned author.She has won many NZ and international awards for her writing.She has even got her own award called The Margret Mahy Award it is presented annually to a person who has made a significant contribution to the broad field of children's literature and literacy.

Why Kea ?
Margaret Mahy is author and authors write books and books give you knowledge. The Kea is actually the worlds smartest bird.

 Why the Margaret Mahy playground ?
Its the biggest playground in the South Equater opened in 2015 named after Margarert Mahy.Following the 2011 earthquake in Christchurh NZ the governmnts recovery plan had a city-wide recovery plan.

Why yellow?
It is said that her favourite colours are blue and green, but those two colours are taken.So I  found out she had a dog named honey named after her  colour but the three colours added will not  make anything so I decided on yellow!

Biography

What is a biography?
A biography is a genre of writing about a persons life, their  birth to death but if they are still living then you write what they are doing know an autobiography is the same thing expect the person writes it themselves.
How to write a good biography ?
First write from birth to death of course if they are still living then you write what they're doing now, add lots of info, where they were born when they were born, how they died  when they died and where they died , add facts and at the end add some of their quotes.
