P6 children of St Joseph’s displayed their excellent learning on their ‘Finance’ topic at assembly recently. The children staged a drama for the whole school where ‘mum’ took along her child to speak to the ‘bank manager’ about the advantages of saving with a credit union. This of course helped re-launch the ‘Supersavers’ scheme in school where all the children have the opportunity to save and belong to a subsidiary of the ‘real’ Credit Union.
P6 also went on to demonstrate the excellent 3D posters they had created to promote the ‘Supersavers’ scheme in school, one of which will be displayed in each classroom. They also demonstrated their excellent knowledge of ‘financial facts’, showed photographs of their recent visit to the Dumbarton Credit Union and finished up with a wonderful rendition of Abba’s ‘Money, Money, Money’.
Mrs Connolly and her class really ‘set the bar’ for assemblies in school – it was a real treat for everyone!
Well done to Mrs Connolly and P6. It is very important that children learn the value of money and saving money and that it doesn’t just “grow on trees” in their parents’ garden!
Now, can anybody lend me a fiver………….?
Well done Mrs Connelly! What a fabulous project! I may need some help with my finances, so now I will know where to come for advice.
Well done to P6. I will be asking Anna for a loan when shes older!! Would love to have heard the rendition of MONEY MONEY MONEY. Look after the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves….
