Money



A lady called Holly came to visit our class to talk about saving our money. First she talked about money from other countries in the world which is called currencies. Money from South Africa is called rands and money from India is called rupees. She told us about eftpos cards and that having one is like taking our money round with us. It’s important to spend money on what you need before what you want. It’s important to save up money for when you need it.
At the end of her visit she picked out people to act out shop keepers and cash machines. She pretended to buy something and then come to a shop with no eftpos and went to a cash machine but had run out of money in her account. We enjoyed Holly’s visit. It was great.
