Trip to Trading Room

Last term we looked at money and statistics using the share market as a focus. We each 'invested' in the share market and 'sold' our shares some weeks later. It was interesting to see who made money and who didn't!

To finish off we had the opportunity to visit the main trading room at the Westpac Building in Auckland. This was an awesome opportunity to see money trading in action. We were impressed by the technology in the trading room plus the pool table in the corner! We learnt some more about the companies we had 'invested' in and a bit more about how money really does make the world go around! Thanks Damon and the Westpac Team for organising a fantastic morning for us - and even giving us Easter eggs as well!
