Finance week – How we use money

This week, we had 2 special visitors from Natwest bank who came into school to talk to us about money.

We completed three different activities. The first one was looking at ‘wants’ and ‘needs’—we discussed how we need to have food, water, clothes, and shelter and how other things are what we just ‘want’ like chocolate, trips out, or holidays.

In the second activity, we listened to a scenario about a boy who wanted a pet dog and then discussed what different things we would need to buy if we got a pet dog.

In the third activity, we listened to a story about Billy Goats Gruff who got money for their birthday.  The Billy Goats all did different things with their money. One spent his money on sweets, the second one put the money in his piggy bank and the third one gave the money to a shelter for sick animals. The children then discussed what they would do with their money and why.

We had a fun morning and learned about the importance of money
