Enrichment Friday: Finance Today, the children recently took part in a fun, practical activity to help them learn about budgeting. They were given £50 to plan a birthday party, encouraging them to think carefully about how to spend money and make choices. During the activity, children practised adding and comparing amounts, deciding between needs and wants, and solving problems when their plans needed changing. They showed creativity and teamwork, coming up with thoughtful ideas to stay within budget. This real‑life learning experience helped build confidence, independence, and valuable money skills that will support them both in school and beyond.
