Asb financial literacy

Today we had a visitor from ASB bank. He came to talk with us about saving money. 

He said we should all have CAT goals. 

A CAT goal is

Clear

Action

Time

We need to know clearly what we are saving for. We need to put into action a savings plan. We need to know how long it will take to save. 

Your Skin

A couple of weeks ago we read a class blog from Australia that spoke about bullying. The class asked the question, If every word you said appeared on your skin, would you be more careful with what you said?

We were challenged to think off all the things we would want to say to our friends and about ourselves and that we would be proud to have on our skin.

This is what we came up with

Arbor Day

17 children went to Arbor Day from Melville Intermediate with three adults to help.

We left at 9:15am to go to Arbor Day.

We all were excited when we got to Waiwhakareke Natural Heritage Park. Their were lots of kids and adults, thats all we could see.

We had got told that we could get off the bus.'Ohh man it was cold outside', it felt like we were turning itto an ice-block.

It was a long walk by the time we got to the place were everyone was. 20 minutes came by and every-one was waiting paciently while there was a lady showing us how to plant the trees as well as she was planting the first tree of the day (kauri tree).

It was time to get started planting. Bria was the first person out of Melville Intermedaite to plant the first tree, it was a very large baby tree. The time went so fast it was lunch time, every-one was heading up to the saugage sizzle. We all asked Miss De Ward if we could go up to get a saugage sizzle. "YES" of course. Miss De Ward walked into the tent to get a box and a bag full of Just Juice.

There was 1 hour left to plant the rest of the trees by the time we were getting on the bus to head back to school. We started to head over to the otherside of the farm to plant the plants that had not been planted.

Melville Intermediate Students planted 100 odd plants in the last hour. All the girls from Melville Intermediate were colecting the black conaners from the plants and putting them on the long black snake that the little kids made.

It was time to go back on the bus to go back to school. We all had a fantasic day, thanks to the perents.

As we went to the beautiful lake the THE BIRDS SWOOPED DOWN AND landed on me, I took out some of my bread and fed them. They looked very happy after I fed them. It looked like they were hungry before that is why they swooped down and landed on me, I kept feeding them until they flew away, then I went to the other birds and feed them. After a while my Mum called me and asked me if I wanted to walk. “Yes” I replied. Once we were half way my Mum stopped because she was really tired.
