Money Week

We had a great time during Money Week. We learned about why saving money is important as well as why some things that we buy are 'needs' and some are 'luxuries'. We designed money boxes and we also held a whole school competition for who could design the best new money note.

We also had a visit from a lady who works in a bank and she bought in some real money for us to look carefully at. She talked to us about what banks do and how grown ups can look after their money.

During the week Class 1 and 2 made and decorated items such as bookmarks, candles, bracelets and mini mugs. On Friday we held a sale for parents and they came and bought our items. We now need to pay some money back for our raw materials and work out if we have made a profit!
