Year 5 have been exploring ‘Our Planet’ and our role in ‘Tikkun Olam’ – repairing the world. We discussed what money is, why we need it, how we use it and the difference between wanting something and needing something. We explored, in depth, who and what influences the choices we make about how money is used. We shared the things we like to buy and then looked at the way adverts try to persuade you through money off offers, celebrities advocating products, emotive use of children and animals etc. We played a game about how money affects our mood – the link is here: Money and Mood
