Maths Week
This week was Maths Week, the highlight was our Money Sense workshop with Natwest where we were planning a party.
The children were very sensible, creative and all managed to stay under budget. I gave them £200 to plan a party for 15 children.
When I asked them at the end, what had they learnt? These were their answers.
Think about how much money you have and what is the most important thing to buy, buy that first and then work out what you can buy with what you have left.
Think carefully about how you can save money or get/make things for free.
Budget carefully.
Don't buy things because you want them, look for the best deal first.
Great responses I feel!
We also played a game that created art. We were developing our thinking and planning skills whilst looking for patterns.
