As part of Financial Education Week, Primary 1 have been introduced to money. They have been exploring real money and are beginning to understand the value of some coins and notes. They also explored other representations of money such as bank cards, credit cards, gift vouchers etc. The children were successful in their learning as they can now identify a variety of coins and differentiate between cards that represent money and cards that do not. Both classes made a grocer’s shop in their classroom. They enjoyed taking on the roll of the till operator as well as the customer. They now understand that everything we buy has a price and money is exchanged for goods.
