Miss Bishop's Prince's Trust class are completing the "Money Management" unit. On Tuesday 24th September, they focused on Budgeting; learning the importance of budgeting and the difference between credits and debits.
Pupils were able to put their knowledge into action, through completing the Barclay's Life Skills Budgeting Game. With a small budget of £965, each team worked together to see how many months they could make this money last for.
All teams managed to make their £965 stretch to at least three months before running out, with the use of money saving techniques and "lifeline" cards.
One team even managed to gain money along the way, meaning they ended the game with more money than what they started with! Congratulations to our winning team, assisted by Mrs Morrison and Miss Thompson.
