Both P7 classes were very fortunate this week to have a Moneysense workshop brought to us by RBS. 6 RBS volunteers (some of whom were parents of children in our school) very kindly helped Mr Logan and Mrs Gordon deliver the workshop.
The children had to consider mobile phone characteristics and order them in terms of importance. In groups they then had to match a customer with a phone contract based on their needs. Each group presented the phone contract that best suited their customer with the reasons why.
Everyone was very engaged with the topic, and we hope it helps them to better understand the process we go through when thinking of purchasing something new. At a minimum they may now better appreciate their lovely parents and carers, who in most cases were the source of funding for their own mobile phones…
