Financial Literacy

This week and last week I have been working on this sheet. Last week we got given a family circumstances sheet and we had to write how many children we had,how many pets we had and how many cars we had. After that we got given a budget balance sheet which has our Tax,Mortgage,Income,Groceries and Fortune on it. On our budget balance sheet one day real life = 1 Week on our sheet. We missed a few days of our sheets so we had to catch up that why it took so long. On the 4th week Aka day we had our monthly bills. The monthly bills concluded of Tax,Mortgage,Groceries,Fortune,Life insurance,Property Insurance,SKY TV,Vehicle,Phone/Internet and Electricity. On week one I was going okay and I ended the week with $83.67 and on week two it got better and I ended the week with $181.47 but on week 2 on my fortune card it said add $15 to your mortgage. On week three thats were I went downhill and I ended the week with only $1.52. And lastly on week four the monthly bills put me in dept. By the end of the month I was in dept by  $878.48.

Giraffe Writing

W.A.L.T Write descriptive sentences.   

This week in Mamaku 2 we had to write a story and use a picture to write about. This was the picture that Mrs P gave us. It is a little girl taking a giraffe for a walk. In the story we had to describe what the giraffe looked like and where the little girl was taking the giraffe. I enjoyed this activity and think that I included some good description.  My next step learning goal for writing is to organise my ideas into paragraphs.

Fairy tales

 

This week we have been writing what is a fairy tale.We had to write what a fairy tale is and where to find one in a library.  When we were in the library it took us a while to find fairy tales as we looked in the fiction section.  They are actually in the non fiction section. Once we had found one we had to look at what made it a fairy tale.

I think that this was a fun activity and now I know what a fairy tale is. What is your favourite fairy tale?
