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.

Scotland arrives in Southland

We had so much fun and discovered these things about Scotland...
The Scottish flag has a navy blue background and a white cross. It is called the St Andrew cross or Saltire. It is one of the oldest flags in the world, dating back to the 12th century.
A Scotsman wears a kilt that is made out of tatan. Tatan designs belong to clans - we think clans are like a family or iwi.
The Loch Ness Monster is a mysterious unidentified freshwater creature. We think this is like a myth, it might be like a taniwha.
QuadBlogging
Well it is all very exciting - we have been allocated the schools for our QuadBlogging journey that will go to the end of the school year. We will be visiting, commenting and hopefully making some other connections like Skyping with the following schools in the world.
High Lawn Primary School
England
Horwich Parish
United Kingdom
Jefferson West Elementary School
United Stateof America
Check out our World Map and see where in the world these schools are. You could extend your knowledge with some research of their Flag, Population, National Anthem, National Symbols, time zone and what season they are in at the moment.
Also are any of these countries participating in the Rugby World Cup?
