Today the children of Room 4 learnt all about banking thanks to Tessa from ASB. They learnt about the differences between debit and credit cards. It was a great opportunity for them to discuss the value of money. Don't be surprised if many arrive home asking for jobs over the weekend. Be prepared for negotiations! The children have also learnt to shop around to find the best deals. Some great life skills.
A saying the children learnt is "When you earn some money what do you do? Spend some on you and save some too." A great opportunity for a discussion about the value of money and saving for our futures.
Below is the card used to show the value in taking your time to "shop around".
