Bartering Time!

This afternoon for inquiry we discussed the different forms of money society has used. This included shells, cocoa beans, gold, silver, coins and paper money. More recently, we talked about the use of cheque books, Eftpos cards, PayWave, Apple Pay, PayPal, Pay Later and Bit Coin!

The students got into groups and were given bartering cards. The requirements were...
- enough food for everyone in the group
- shelter
- essential items required to live.

The cards included chickens, cows, fishing rods, water, trees, logs, seeds, tools and more! 








Below, Hamish is writing about how we can use the sheep, chickens and cows
