Inquiry-money matters

We had a visit from an ASB rep today. He talked to us about money and how to be safe with it.

Earning money can be hard work.

Show me the money

We have to learn to spend our money wisely.

Athletics

WALT throw the shotput

Nice action....reminds me of a Jamaican sprinter.

First we tried it with a softball

Then we used a real one (not in picture)

They were much heavier than the softballs.

Looks like the super moon is out.

We are looking at money from other countries.

We can copy the coins by rubbing 

Foreign money has many similarities to ours.

This 1000 rupiah is worth 11 NZ cents

Inquiry

We started our Inquiry by visiting a local business....Bionic

The lady there was very friendly.

Bionic import their beans from overseas.

This is what the raw, green beans look like.

More green beans.

Pouring the green beans into the roaster.

Bionic roast and grind their own beans.

This is where we can keep an eye on the beans.

Roasted Beans.

We tasted some.......they were a bit yuck!

Comparing the roasted and raw.

Smells like burning toast. 

Hot Chocolate time.

Here's to a great product.

Very Nice.

Chocolate Cheers!

These are many of the bean varieties.

What a great experience!
