Financial Literacy with PwC

Click here to view the photos

On Friday last week we were very very lucky in Room 5 as professionals from Price Waterhouse Coopers came to our class and ran a financial literacy programme with us. 

Please click on the image above to view our photos with them. 

They taught us about income, spending, savings, borrowing and lending. They also taught us about how to be a smart spender and earn income. 

Please click on learner blogs to read our individual reflections from our time with PWC coaches. What a treat it was to learn from these professionals from PWC in our class teaching us to be financially literate and smart. 

Thank you PWC! 

Making Tropical Smoothies

We decided to make a tropical smoothie in this chilly winter in Auckland in anticipation of spring next month. 

We all really enjoyed drinking it in company of each other.

Auckland Zoo Trip

On 4th August we visited the Auckland zoo. 

Our topic of focus this term is on 'Sustainability'.  We are looking at what we can do to be more sustainable in the way we live. 

At the Auckland zoo during the education led session we  looked at the idea of our place in the environment and what impact our actions may have. We’ll also took a closer look at Maori concepts, namely, Manaaki, Kaitiaki and Whanaunga and how do we connect as we live within them? 

Examples of sustainability like harvesting harakeke, rāhui and other tikanga was discussed. There was time for us to think, pair, and share our thoughts, as well as brainstorm our current ideas and how we may live more sustainably at home and at school.

Here are a few photos from our trip. Hope you enjoy them.
