Motat Trip

The Year 3s visited MOTAT on Thursday.
The big focus of our day was 'The Great Race': a challenge to complete 8 stations involving team work and answering key questions.

Our teams were:
 

Some of the challenges included:
Washing a shirt using traditional methods

Dressing in traditional clothing



Making a human chain to pass coal quickly to a gate and back


Making a human knot.


Writing school rules on a slate and playing old school games

  











Going to jail!












We finished our day with a tram ride.
Noa rang the bell and the driver/conductor let her wear his hat and pass it around.

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

So a great day and lots of great learning about teamwork to begin our Inquiry unit: Standing up, Looking out.

Financial Literacy

Today we had a special visitor, Tessa Knight, from the ASB come and talk to us about financial literacy.
We learnt that safe places to keep money are a wallet and a bank.
That we can get money from the bank out using eftpost cards

She talked about what we would do if we had $100.
Here are some ideas:

• a $90 tour 
• The Suicide Squad DVD
• 50 chocolates

She taught us a chant:
When you earn some money, what do you do?
Spend some on you and save some too!

We also learnt about shopping around instead of buying straight away to save money.

Cross Country

Great day at the cross country today.
Here are some pictures taken by Miss Jamison.


Great running everyone!
