Salamasina's lunch with the Principal ...

Salamasina's mum and dad came along to support the school at the Garden to Table fundraiser auction and won the lunch date with our lovely Principal Mrs Williams. Franny went along too as a special guest. Here they are heading off for what I am sure would have been a very chatty lunch.

Get Set Go. Week 2

Financial Literacy in Room 14

Following on from Captain Cashtastic last week Angela from the ASB came to talk more about money.

You could ask the children

Why we have money?

What does this $ mean?

Are notes worth more than coins?

Why do we save money?

What is a want?

What is a need?

Captain Cashtastic told us  "You've got to speed to your needs and wait for your wants"

 Our ideas for pocket money  (it's all about helping others)

• Clean mum's car inside and out
• Help around the house - washing, making our beds, putting out the rubbish , feeding and caring for our pets, empty the dishwasher, wash / dry the dishes, keep our bedrooms tidy, gardening, bringing in the mail.
• Selling our old toys and books on Trade Me or a garage sale with an adult to help?

We could save money we get for our Birthdays or Christmas

Sometimes we use cash and sometimes we use an eftpos card (we swipe these and the money comes out of our bank account). We need to have money in our account for the eftpos card to work so we need to save our money.
