As part of our PSHE curriculum, High View held a Money Week in July. During this week, the children learned about the different coins and currencies, the role money plays in their lives, how to manage money and developed their understanding of credit, debt, tax and interest.
In addition to this, each class were given £5 to run an 'enterprise' project and make their £5 grow!
So far our school profit total is £329.60! Well done everyone! All profits made are going towards a memorial for Mrs Parkin, who we will never forget!
Take a look at some of the great work produced by our High View children.
Year 2 children used their art and design technology skills to plan and make a dreamcatcher that they were given the opportunity to sell. They were very impressive and sold well.
Year 4 got busy with their baking skills and sold some delicious sugary treats after school in their Bake Sale. They learned about the importance of advertising as well as budgeting and pricing.
In lessons, Year 5 also looked at the different ways we can buy things. The children were introduced to the concept of cash, credit cards, debit cards and loans and the terms debt and interest. The children were given the mathematical challenge of working out how much items would cost if they included interest. We learned that paying with cash upfront is the best way to avoid debt and incurs no interest!
