Earning and spending money
This RSE & PSHE video helps the children understand some of the different ways people can make or receive money. Through familiar examples, the children learn that the most common way adults earn money is by having a job, and explore a range of jobs such as bakers, teachers, hairdressers and dentists. They also learn that people may train to develop the skills they need for particular jobs and that wages can be paid in cash or into a bank account.
The video also introduces other ways adults may receive money, including government benefits, gifts and, more rarely, prizes. It helps the children understand that people’s circumstances and needs can change over time, so the ways they receive money may be different. The children are encouraged to recognise that some sources of money are more regular and reliable than others, and to understand the importance of looking after money and spending it wisely.
This video is part of Kapow Primary’s RSE & PSHE KS1 videos, which enable teachers and pupils to explore growth and change and help develop personal, social and emotional skills, as well as an understanding of relationships and health education.
