My Money Week in MIV
During ‘My money week’, Middle IV pupils considered their attitudes to money through drama activities and interactive videos. They recognised the difference between needs and wants and discussed the pros and cons of spending and saving. They helped two children, through the medium of an interactive video, to make wise decisions regarding their finances.
A Bank of England video taught them about the history of our currency and introduced, in simple terms, the effects of changing interest rates on borrowers and savers.
A humorous playscript gave the children the opportunity to showcase their blossoming acting skills. Their portrayals of parents and children squabbling over money matters were highly entertaining! Whilst having fun, they explored the importance of prioritising spending and considered the consequences of different financial choices.
