Money Money Money!

We've been learning about using money in Room 10. We've worked out what all the coins are, which coins are worth more or less than each other, and what coins add together to make $1, $2 and $5. At the moment we're busy selling all the items in our classroom to each other in our little shops. We're getting quite good at giving change back for $1, $2 and $5.
Here are some money and banking related games to play at home or school.

Cous Cous the cat!By Abby Pym

Cous Cous is a cat, he's tabby and he's a boy.
He's a very healthy cat, He likes to hunt bugs like weta, geckos, spiders and he rips paper.
He chases birds like fantails and sparrows and he chases some mice too.
Last week we got a cat toy and all day he played with it.
The toy was a rainbow mouse and on the end of it's tail theres a small bell to play with that he loves.
Cous Cous's eyes change color from green to blue when he's in the dark.
His nose is pink like candy floss and his paws are as soft as a fluffy, white cotton bud.
I love him and he loves me.

Rocking Roosters

 The  Thunderstorms  all  made  Rocking  Roosters. First  we  painted our paper plates. Next we made a comb and a mouth. They were made out of paper. After that we put the comb and mouth on the rocking rooster. And then feathers on our rocking rooster. After that we all put a tail on.

Run, Run, Run by Anna

Wow! Today was a big day for everyone at Paremata School because today was Cross Country. It started with the year eight boys then the girls and then the year seven boys then girls and so on until it reached the year one girls. I was in the year three girls and coming fifth. I was very happy.

When Teresa started saying "On your marks, get set, go" was when I had the most butterflies in my tummy. I was scared but I was also ready and then Teresa banged the blocks together making the cue for us to start.

We had to go around the field then we went through the Peace Garden, onto the netball court, past  the dentist, out the gate, across the footpath, in the gate, across the basketball court and all again. When I got back onto the field after the second lap I was exhausted but it hadn't finished there, I still had to run around the field one more time. Then I had ran to the finish line! I was so happy, I walked down to my mum and dad. Then I said, "What a big day!".
