This week, we have been thinking about our future and what we will need to live the lives we dream of. We created ‘Dream Clouds’ filled with the homes, holiday and items of our dreams, if money were no object. Then we were given a job. There were all different careers , from professional footballer to nurse, computer animator to teacher! After finding out more about our job, we then created a reality cloud – we could not spend more money each month than we were earning.
The work challenged the children to think about what is a ‘need’ and what is a ‘want’ and it was interesting to compare how the children found the task according to their job.
I was so proud of the work and contribution everyone made to the tasks and the skills the children had to use to calculate the monthly expenses. Their discussion at the end of the day was very reflective and showed how seriously they had taken the activities.
