As part of our Money Matters week, Year 1 and 2 took part in a Moneysense session supported by a volunteer from NatWest.
Angela, our volunteer from NatWest, was ‘pleasantly surprised by the attitude of a lot of the children towards money and donating it’.
The session focussed on how we use money.
- To understand that there are choices about what to do with money
- To understand that money can be spent, saved or donated (given)
- To understand the difference between ‘needs’ and ‘wants’
- To consider the different ways a family might use money
‘I have learnt that if you get lots of money, not to spend it all at once.’
‘I realised how much things cost for a pet.’
‘I will save more money than I have dome before.’
‘I know not to use my money all at once to buy one thing as then I won’t have any money left.’
Finally, hope the children enjoyed their goody bags!
