Two teachers named Nikki and Sigred told Room 10 about financial literacy. What is financial literacy? It is about saving money. Saving money is buying things that you need for yourself and what is good. There was a poster that was talking about reducing expenses. A girl was talking about what she needs and what she does not need and we had to sort out what was her expenses and what things she did not need. What is financial responsibility? It is being a good borrower. What is identity? It is the government and non-government things, like birth certificate, work card, passport, driver's licence, that tell who we are. My favourite part I learnt about was how to save money so I can achieve more when I am older.
We are learning about fractions this term. To remember and think about what we already know, we made sausage roll and pizza with clay. We divided our shapes into fractions. Each piece was the same size. Then, we made some pizza toppings for a whole pizza. We shared them out on our pizza. Each quarter of my pizza had 6 toppings.
