My Money week - national schools competitions!
26 February 2010 by Editor
The competitions (one for primary schools and one for secondary
schools) get pupils engaged in personal finance education in a new,
wholly original and exciting way: by combining their knowledge of
personal finance with their opinions on the value and importance of
money. They then produce a piece of artwork to represent their
knowledge and opinions.
The competitions are supported by specially created lesson plans,
which lead pupils from specific personal finance education
curriculum learning materials into producing a competition
entry.
There are two lesson plans per competition, each containing full
and detailed curriculum links:
For primary: focuses on PSHE education (preparing to play an
active role as citizens) and art (exploring and developing ideas;
investigating and making art, craft and design), with
cross-curricular links in history and geography.
For secondary: links to art and design (Key Stage 3 and GCSE,
focusing on exploring, creating, understanding and evaluating) and
PSHE education (Key Stage 3 and 4, financial capability and
economic understanding).
