Room5 Market day!

Today is a special day for us as it is....

Room 5 Market Day!

Throughout this term, we earned money from Miss Min by...

- always showing our mat 5s

- completing our work to the best of our ability

- helping our friends and teachers

-making the right decisions

First we had to add up all our money to so that we know how much we have to spend.

Then we wrote down a list of what we want to buy.

It was important that we counted the right amount of money to give to Miss Min.

Yay! We now have pencils, rubber, and notebooks to use to continue our learning over the holidays! 

Through this programme, we learnt to count money and to manage our money to spend it efficiently. 

We also learnt that it is hard work to earn money.




So... are you spending your money wisely?
