Jeff (SUPER CASH-TASH-TIC!!) from ASB GETWISE came to help us learn a bit about money



We learnt about money



  • money that is shaped like a rectangle is a note, it is called dollars
  • money that is shaped like a circle, are mainly cents .....but not all of them.......

We put the money into order from the smallest amount to biggest amount (it's not all about size either)

      

Is it a NEED or a WANT?

  • We looked at pictures of things like water, fruit and veges, fizzy drink, chocolate, bikes, computer and discussed if they were a need or a want
  • Jeff taught us to remember "speed to a need and wait for a want"
  • If he showed us a picture of a NEED we ran on the spot. If it was a WANT we stood still and held up our hand.
  •  .    .   

Savings Jars

We could use 3 jars to help organise our money
the SPEND jar 
the SHARE jar
the SAVE jar 


  


We could get money around the house by doing jobs for the whole house like doing the dishes, getting in the washing, vacuuming, pulling out weeds

"when you get some money
what do you do?
you spend some
save some
and share some too"

So what have we learnt today?

Ben; "you don't always have to spend money on things you want, you might have to spend it on things you need like shoes or food."

Brooklyn; "you don't really need chocolate."

Kataraina; "we learnt the money from biggest to smallest, and you can spend money, share it or save it."

Mackenzie; "you don't always need sweet."

Yesterday we tried strawberry chocolate balls. They looked amazing, I wanted to eat it straight away. They were rock solid and very hard. They smelt like candy canes. They looked like little snow balls and they tasted like they had jelly inside. - Theo     Yesterday I ate strawberry chocolate balls and they looked like a little pink egg. They felt sticky, breakable and hard. They smelt like marshmallows and strawberries. Thank you for letting us have a strawberry chocolate ball. They tasted like a piece of gum. - Tyson R The strawberry ball looks like a strawberry play ball. It felt like hard wood and smelt like strawberry sunflowers. They tasted like bubble gum. - Marinelle

Miss Clothier's writing class went outside to play in the leaves.  "I was throwing the leaves in the air with some other kids in Miss Clothier's group." said Brooklyn "When the leaves fell down a little bit went in my t-shirt." said Louie "When it landed in Louie's hair it was hilarious." said Slade "It was funny when the leaves fell on the ground." said Kaiden "When we went to the gardens there was lots of leaves." said Luke & Oliver.
