Me and My Money Week
During our first week back after the October half term, we have been focusing on money and liking our learning to money. We have carried out a variety of lessons to help us to understand money and how to use it in a responsible way.
We have learnt about budgeting, debit and credit cards, overdrafts, currency and how/why people may value money differently.
We have also been linking money to our Christian Values. We thought about how saving takes perseverance, starting your own business takes courage, how giving to charity requires compassion. We linked our learning to Bible readings and researched famous Philanthropists.
A philanthropist is a person who donates time, money, experience, skills or talent to help create a better world. Anyone can be a philanthropist, regardless of status or net worth.
Finally, we have had online workshops delivered by HSBC. Here children learnt about where our money comes from, how we can keep it safe and what happens to our money when we get paid.
It has been a busy and very enjoyable week.
