PrEP Currency Competition

This week at GMS every student gets the chance to design a bank note and name the currency, for PrEP. In Syndicate 4 we have to design our version of the $10 note. We'll decide on Monday our classroom winners, then decide our supreme winner. The winner gets $10 extra in their pay packet for market day.

Even though I'm not allowed to enter, this is my effort. What do you think?

Biddy of the Buller

Room 8 have just commented (below) and wanted to know why I have called my currency 'Old Biddy'. An old biddy is a slang term for an old lady. However, I need to make it clear, that the old lady in question, IS NOT the lady in the picture above. The old biddy I refer to is Bridget Godwin (right). You may have seen her picture at Shantytown. She was known as 'Biddy of the Buller'.  If you remember, the name of our currency needs to relate to GMS, Greymouth, West Coast. If you want to find out more about her click on the link below.

Once I gather in all our efforts I'll post the ones we like the best and you can vote on them here. Oh, by the way, Barrytown school are joining us this year. I already have their entries.

UPDATE!UPDATE!UPDATE!UPDATE! UPDATE!

Here's Dakaya's cracker of an effort. He's named his 'joules'-which is a link to our science last term where we looked at joules being a measurement of 'work'.Nice one Dakaya. I reckon it's chicken dinner time, surely. What does everyone think?
