Show Me the Money Ruma Waru!

Room 8’s Learning about $$money$$

What do we know about MONEY? $$$$$$

WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?

As a class we looked at real New Zealand money.

Identifying NZ Money.

Here we are as a class identifying our New Zealand money.

We got to see it,

touch it, smell it and

share our ideas.

We looked at the $1 coin

Here’s what we shared about NZ coins and the $1 coin.

Azaelea, Jayla, Hayzell and Mele.

We did some coin rubbings, we liked doing this activity.

Our teacher showed us how to hold the coin under the paper and rubbed over the paper.

We all went “Whoa” when we saw a picture appear. Cool!!

"This is $2", says Kha'Lisia

"This is $10", says Timothy

"This is 20 cents", says Fernaniah

"This is 50 cents", says Jayla

We are learning the names of our New Zealand money and we know it is important to have money to buy our food, clothes and toys, so "Don’t waste it", said Kepueli.

Jayla said, “ All the money is in a castle with Queen Elizabeth”, and Kepueli said, “It is kept in a museum”. Micah said, “Money comes from a teller machine at the shop and my dad’s work”.

Here's our little chant we did when we went on our 'walking bus' to do our shopping at PAK n' SAVE.

We are going shopping, we are going shopping.

We're not scared, we're not scared.

It's a beautiful day! It's a beautiful day!

Oh oh! We need MONEY!

KA-CHING, KA-CHING, KA-CHING,KA-CHING, KA-CHING, KA-CHING, KA-CHING!!!!!!

Money, Money, Money!

In Room 1 we have been learning a lot about place value and we have used money to show us how it all works.

Did you know that there are 10, 10s in 100?

How would I put that question as a multiplication?

Did you guess 10 x 10 = 100? Then tino pai, you are correct!

How much money do you think is in the picture below?

You might have to skip count in 10s.

How many hundred dollar notes do you see?
How many ten dollar notes do you see?

How many one dollar coins?

Did you know that there are 10 ones in 10?

Can you count how much money is this next picture?

How many hundreds are in this photo?

How many 10 dollar notes?

How many one dollar coins?

Here is one final question for you to think about…

“Miss Ratu wants to take some children to the circus. Tickets to the circus cost $10 per child. Miss Ratu has $355, how many children can I take to the circus?”

If you think you know the answer, write your full answer in the comment box!

Room 4's Money Learning

Room 4 have been learning all about money!

In Room 4, we have been focusing on identifying what money looks like and how we can order it from smallest to biggest. 

Have a look at our learning so far J

“I know that 10 cents is smaller than $10.”

-     Neriah

“I know that with money you have cents and dollars.”

-     Izrayl

“We made our own piggy banks and counted how much we had saved.”

Money in Room 9

Money in Room 9

The students in Room 9 are very excited to be learning about money.

The very first question we discussed was:

“What do we use money for?”

Our answers were very different.

Next we looked at the coins we use in New Zealand.

We noticed they all had different pictures on them.

We each chose a coin and made a crayon rubbing of that coin.

After cutting it out, we pasted our coin rubbing in the correct column.

We achieved this easily!

Next week we are going to sketch the designs on our coins and compare their sizes, and in art we are going to begin a money collage.

Money in Room 3

Money Learning in Room 3

This week we started our learning journey about money in Room 3.

We looked at what money looks like here in New Zealand and practiced ordering our coins and notes from smallest to largest.

 “Our biggest coin is the $2 coin. Our biggest note is $100” - Zaidore

“Our notes are a lot of different colours.” - Honi

It was interesting to see our prior knowledge about money!

We enjoyed sorting our money correctly.

Can you sort money from smallest to largest too?

Matariki in Room 2

In Room 2 we have been so excited to learn all about

Matariki - Māori New Year

“Matariki is when the seven stars are up in the sky.

 It means Māori  new year” 

- Deijahnaye

This week we have made goals to celebrate Matariki.

First we wrote down 2 goals that we want to achieve by the end of the year.

Brieze’s goals are 

“I want to get better at sitting up on the mat”

Hererahi’s goals are 

“I want to be good at helping people”

Wayne’s goals are

 “I want to be good at rugby and soccer”

Then we wrote them onto feathers  and decorated the feathers with Māori patterns and vibrant colours.

After all our feathers were finished we put them onto cardboard and decorated with feathers to make our Korowai cloak.

We love our korowai cloak!

Perfect Attendance in Room 5!

Perfect Attendance!

In Room 5 we have been Attendance Warriors!

 We have won the Trophy 3 weeks in a row 

for Term 2.

 We have written some letters for you about what we have done to make sure we have been at school everyday! 

Dear Yendarra,

We have won the Best Attendance Trophy for 3 weeks in a row by coming to school everyday. We wear the correct uniform to school everyday especially our black leather shoes to keep our feet warm and dry! When our feet are dry, we stay healthy and we don't get sick. We don't stay at home and we come with our jumper to make us warm and to help us be here everyday. We come to school to be the best we can be and to learn. The best thing to do is, you must eat healthy food like brown bread, fruit and drink water everyday to stop you getting sick!

From Ivalani.

Dear Yendarra,

We won the Trophy because we come everyday to school! You have to be at school on Monday,Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. School is good for you. You have to be here at 8:45 because that is when the bell rings!

From Amelia.

Dear Yendarra,
