Get Wise

Room 1 was learning about saving and spending money, this morning.

Super Hero- Captain Cashtastic from the ASB talked to us about money. He was funny.

First we learnt about the value of money. The coins have three colours- gold, silver and bronze, just like medals. The gold coins have the most value and they are the $2 and $1 coins, next are the silver coins which  are the 50 cents and the 20 cents, the least value coin is the 10 cents which is the bronze colour. We also have notes these are $100, $50, $20, $10 and $5.

Then we learnt about needs and wants.  Needs are what we need like water, food, shelter and clothes. Our wants are  lollies, chips, ice-cream  and chocolate, ipads, computers and phones.

We earn our money, by doing jobs.

We can spend money on our needs, save money for our wants and save some money for sharing (buying presents). 

When Captain Cashtasic left, he gave us bright yellow wrist bands that say ASB- get Wise. It also says speed for your needs and wait for your wants.

This was a good idea because it will help us save our money.
