Nicky's Visit from ASB

                                               Nicky's Visit from ASB
Today Nicky came to our class to teach us how to save money. We were very lucky. We need to plan now for our future because she told us,"If I say money you say Save!" Nicky wrote on the board G W Y W P, means Get What You Want, Plan. Nicky told us,"What do you want to be when you grow up?" I want to to be a singer because I always sing at my house when I am bored and I am using my tablet. Cash also means Clear goal, Action, Save and How long. Nicky told
this story to us, this story was real. One day there was a little boy who was a very good rugby player, and then they announced that there was going to be a trip. But the boy's parents couldn't afford the trip, because they didn't have the money for it. But he told his neighbours that he could put their trash out.He had 10 neighbours and he put the trash out for four weeks every Tuesday. And this is how much he saved - $200.00!
We did a brain storm of ways to earn money. My group was with Mikaela, Nino, Julio and Erich. We wanted to do sell. Julio and Nino were the shop keepers,and they were selling their old toys for $10.00 dollars. And if we put our money in the bank we will get 'interest' and we will have more money.
There were two boys and they wanted to save up for a car, Student 1 put his savings in a money box, and the 2 Student kept his savings in the New Zealand bank.A few days later, Student 3 wanted to save up for a car too, and he put his savings under his bed. Months later when they were teenagers, Student 3 has $2,166, Student 2 has $4,860 and Student 1 has $4,860. But Student 1 actually has $5,725 because the bank gave him interest. So he bought a new car!


This is Nicky.She is on the left.









We are sitting listening to her.She is teaching us about money.

My Tukutuku mat is beautiful because the red and black squares that comes out with the white loom looks like a checker board.It is very colourful with the red and black. Maori make these for the walls in their wharenui.

Smart Relationship Qualities

         WALT Show Smart Relationship Qualities
   Mrs Collins brought marshmallows and spaghetti sticks to class today. She challenged us to build the tallest tower for ten minutes. We were in a group of three - Mikaela, Nikita and me.
                                           It was 19 cm.
We needed a tower that is:                            We                                                                       showed
Free standing                                               Trust.
                                                                       ðŸ’—
x12 Spaghetti Sticks
x8 Marshmallows

We had to talk to one another and work out different ways of building the tower. After 10 minutes Mrs Collins measured all the towers and Sione, Sonasi and Jacob's tower was the tallest.
I learned that we have to be gentle and listen to one another to get everything to balance properly.

Jesus Respected TAPU In People Tika Pono Aroha

                                                                       Tika,Pono,Aroha


              We have been learning about how Jesus respected the TAPU (Sacredness) of people.
Jesus spoke to the woman at the well when he shouldn't have because she was not a Jew and she was also a woman. He showed respect and love and compassion to her. I show Aroha when I include people to my game when they have no one to play with.          When people have a fight or get bullied I stand up for them and make friends with new people.       I show Tika,Pono and Aroha when I listen to my teacher and care about the children at my              I show Tika when I confess my sins and do the right thing every day. I listen at the right time.
 I learned from Jesus that even though people are not the same skin colour or culture but you still have to be nice and kind to them, and one day you'll make friends!
