Westpac Banking Visit

On Thursday Mrs Shaw came into Room 12 to tell us about banking and opening a savings account at Westpac.  We had lots of questions for her to help us understand more about saving money.

In our class this term we have had our own cash books and money bag.  We have been learning how to write money in, money out and the total amount of money we have.

We checked out the Westpac website and found some fun games that will help us learn more about the saving money.

Check out the website:
Go to Managing your Money
Then go to kids' space and play some of the cool games they have for us kids to play.
