Financial literacy with ASB



Captain Cash looks after all the money in the world. Captain Cash needed help because there is a lot of money in the world. She trained us to be money super Heroes.



We needed to know what money looked like. 
The circle money is coins. 
Some coins are gold ($1 and $2), some are silver (20 and 50 cents) and the 10cent piece is bronze. 
They're just like the olympics medals. Gold gets us the most, silver gets us the next most and bronze gets us least. Gold coins are dollars. Silver and bronze are cents. 


We learnt you can buy more with notes. All notes are dollars. 

We had to put the coins and notes in order from smallest to biggest. $100 is worth the most.


Needs and wants:

Seeds need water, sunshine.
We pretended to be seeds. 

Larry the fish had food and water and a toy castle he could play in. He was sad when the castle was taken away to be cleaned but he could survive with out it because he had food and water. 
Sometimes we need things to live and sometimes we want things. 
We played a game about needs and wants. We need, water, vegetables, exercise, play and sleep. 
We don't need chocolate, Lego, lollies and barbies.
Needs are more important. If you only had a bit of money you would buy the needs first. 
"Speed to your needs and wait for your wants."

We enjoyed learning about money and needs and wants.
