MoneySense Workshop with the Ulster Bank

Today, P.1 & 2 had a super Money Sense workshop! We learned that there are choices about what to do with money; that money can be spent, saved or donated, the difference between needs and wants and that families spend money in different ways.

We took part in 3 fun activities and Louise from the Ulster Bank came down to help us, she explained to us all about her job and how a bank works.

The boys and girls had lots of ideas of what to do with money! Have a read:

• Jude would put money in a moneybox to save for Legoland
• Gerard would put money in a piggy bank to save for a new toy
• Aimee would put it in the bank (sensible girl... maybe her teacher will listen!)
• Grace would buy some books
• Shay would give his money to the poor. (How sweet, Shay!)

The boys and girls have a greater understanding of needs and wants and gained so much from the session. Thanks so much to MoneySense (https://www.mymoneysense.com/) and to Louise from the Ulster Bank for both the informative session and the goodie bags for the children.
