Financial literacy- Money, money, money, moneeeeeey Money!

Today Room 19 had the opportunity to learn about how we use money and get some advice about how we can make our money grow. We had three wonderful people from BNZ share their expertise with us, challenging us to think about how we access and use money.

Here are a few photos........

We learnt about the Bank cards, ATM's and we discussed what was the best way to look after money.

Thank you very much to the wonderful staff at the BNZ for taking the time to educate us today. 

BE RESILIENT

Life is full of challenges and to overcome them you will need to BE RESILIENT, During the next two weeks, we will be discussing what RESILIENCE looks, sounds and feels like. It's not going to be easy, but the RESILIENT learners in Room 19 will get the job done!!!!!

Congratulations to.......

Congratulations to Rania for receiving this fortnights Merit Award. I have been very impressed with her high level of persistence and focus during learning time. I am very proud of you Rania, continue to keep that strong work ethic!!!

Maths Week was AWE- SUM!!!!

Everyday we worked together to solve a Daily Challenge Question. We had to write our name, room number and the answer to the question on a slip of paper, to enter the daily challenge. Mr Faulder and the AWE-SUM students from Room 16, kindly collected all of the entries, made the draw and delivered the prizes. With Persistence PLUS Focus, we DIVIDED up the question in to parts, SUBTRACTED the words we didn't need to solve the problem, EQUALING problem solving success for us all. Room 19 had MULTIPLE winners during this week.

Please enjoy our presentation.

Independent learning

There are times when we need to work on our own or with a peer. This is a great time to practice being a PERSISTENT learner, as we have to stay focused and on task without someone reminding us. Here are two Room 19 learners who are demonstrating this persistence during independent maths time.

Be PERSISTENT!!!

Everyday we face challenges and everyday we CONQUER them. Overcoming something that is a challenge or if we are really tired sometimes and it all seems a little harder than before, requires us to be persistent in order to achieve.

Follow these great ideas about how you can demonstrate PERSISTENCE everyday.

Being SUPER organised!!!

We have just completed our first 2 weeks of Term 3 and lots of students are demonstrating their ability to be an ORGANISED learner. There was one SUPER ORGANISED member of Room 19 who truly deserves this weeks Merit Award. She is so ORGANISED that she helps me to be ORGANISED. 

Thanks Salome for being a very well organised learner in our room.
