Ka-ching!!

Start saving now ... ka-ching!! That was the message from Tessa when she visited Room 10 to teach us how to be smarter with money. She did this as part of the ASB bank's GetWise financial literacy programme. We remembered some ways we might earn money when we are a little bit older. We remembered about saving vs. spending. We learnt that we can save a little bit more by choosing to save our money with a bank. This is because the banks pay interest which adds extra money to the money already in our account. Ka-ching!!

FLiP!

FLiP is a financial literacy programme developed by PwC (PricewaterhouseCoopers) for Year 5 and 6 students. Nikki and Sigred, our coaches from PwC, visited Room 10 for four sessions to share their knowledge about being smarter with money. We learnt about saving and spending, being a responsible borrower, protecting our identity and different types of insurance. After learning lots of new words and learning through fun activities, we were each presented with achievement certificates at our final session yesterday.
