Money
During Term 3 Seth continued to practice real money skills by shopping with $2 at New World to purchase something that he had chosen which he could afford to buy. Seth understood that he could only purchase items that added up to or below $2.
During term 3 and 4 Seth has continued to practice using money in our class shop lessons and from ipad money apps that Seth participated in. Seth also enjoyed being the bingo caller for money bingo, which tested knowledge of identifying coins and notes.
