Kiwisport Hip Hop!

This term or Kiwisport we have been learning Hip Hop with our instructor Jasmine!

Here are some of the things we have learnt:

Financial Literacy lessons from PWC

Last week Room 7 and Room 8 were lucky enough to have two coaches from PwC come and teach us about how to be safe and responsible with our money.

Taonga wrote a summary of our first lesson.
On Session 1 we meet two guys called Tim and Sash. With Tim and Sash we learnt how to be trustworthy they said way to be trustworthy is if someone lends you something then you give it back on the right time. It also means it has to not be damaged. After that we got into teams and Tim and Sash gave us a paper that we had to act out in front of the class which was a bit scary but fun because we got to act it out.  

In our second lesson we learnt about insurance and the different types you can get. We also spoke about the difference between saving and borrowing money and how it actually can sometimes mean you spend more if you choose to only pay a little bit at a time.

Fe'ao wrote: Amazing! That lesson was incredible I learnt what was right to buy and how to save money. Also lending and borrowing stuff that’s not yours. And I loved yesterday one it was about your identity and insurance lesson but I liked it anyway!
