TeacherJust to say a big thank you for [the Money Heroes training session] yesterday - it was really informative and will most definitely be helpful in helping us to plan for coverage in the new curriculum.
TeacherMoney Heroes has some brilliant resources to use with the children in year 6. Very valuable life skills can be taught from these resources and ideas.
TeacherThe best thing about the Money Heroes training session was finding out about the online resources to help plan and deliver lessons. Thinking about all of the different ways that children are already financially active and thinking about what to teach to children to help them become financially safe/savvy.
TeacherThe Money Heroes training session taught me that money shouldn't just be taught in maths lessons, there are loads of cross-curricular links. We should be talking to children about money from a young age.
