Today is my
birthday, I am nine years old. It was
kind of different, because I usually get a cake and ice cream at school, but my
school has been closed since Monday. I usually
go out for dinner or go somewhere nice but cannot do this, because things have
been shut down due to the Coronavirus.
I celebrated
my birthday with my dad, mum and brother. I opened my birthday cards and I got
money from my relatives and there was a kid’s pre-paid top up card from mum and
dad.
The Go Henry
pre-paid card is for children aged between 6 to 18, it teaches independence and
the value of money.
Instead of my
parents giving me cash, they can transfer the money straight onto the card.
My parents set
tasks, chores and spending responsibility, which work towards saving goals for me
to complete, to earn extra pocket money. They decide where it can be used in shops,
online or cash machines.
My parents get
real time notifications to tell them when and where I am using the card and can
instantly block and unblock the card if it gets mislaid.
I got washed
and did my schoolwork, my teacher set English, Writing and Maths tasks on
Seesaw.
I finished all
my work and played with my brother, then my family and I played board games
like Monopoly, Snakes and Ladders and Ludo.
My mum
cooked my favourite meal for my birthday dinner, TACOS! Then I saw lights in
the hallway and heard my family singing, Happy Birthday. I had a lemon
flavoured cake with nine candles on it.
It was one
of my best birthdays ever, even though I celebrated at home.
