Hello, my name is Mr. Tazzyman, and today, I'm gonna be teaching and learning with you about financial education.

That's all about money, how it makes us feel, and where we might see it and use it.

I hope you enjoy the lesson.

Let's get started.

Here's the outcome then for the lesson.

By the end, we want you to be able to say, I understand why I might, or might not, want to give money to help others.

There are some keywords as well that you are going to hear during this lesson, and we'd like to make sure that you can say them and that you might understand what they mean.

I'm gonna get you to repeat them back to me.

I'll say my turn, say the word, and then I'll say your turn, and you'll repeat it back.

Ready? My turn, donate.

Your turn.

My turn, charity.

Your turn.

My turn, sponsor.

Your turn.

Well done.

It's really important that we understand what those mean as well.

Here are the definitions: Donate, that's to give money, food, clothes, et cetera, to somebody or something, especially a charity.

Very often you hear it associated with different charities.

Charity, organisations for helping people or other things that are in need.

And sponsor, to agree to give somebody money for charity if they complete a particular task.

This is the outline of the lesson today.

We're gonna start by thinking about giving money, and then we're gonna look at a few different scenarios where you might choose whether or not you think it's appropriate to give money.

In this lesson, you're gonna meet Lucas, Jun, and Laura.

Hi, you three.

They're gonna help us with our learning by explaining some of their thinking, giving us some prompts and letting us be witness to some of their conversations.

Laura and Jun are in town for the parade.

They see Jun collecting for charity.

"Why would people choose to give away money?" asks Laura.

Why do you think? Have you ever seen anybody giving money to charity in this way? Why do people do it? "People donate money to help a charity to do its work," says Lucas.

Charities rely on people to fund their work.

People give them money out of kindness.

This is called donating.

"The more money I collect, the more the charity can do to help their cause," says Jun.

"People feel good that they have helped." Okay, let's check your understanding of what we've thought about so far.

Have you ever given money to charity? Which charity was it, and how did you donate? Share those with somebody near you, if you can.

Pause the video here to do that.

Welcome back.

Your family might donate online.

You might have attended a charity event.

You might have raised money yourself.

After the parade, Lucas and Laura go to get lunch from a cafe.

There's a bit of a problem.

Lucas says, "I don't have enough money left for a milkshake with my meal.

I'm 10 p short." Laura replies, "Oh, dear, I have more than enough for mine." What could Laura do? "I can lend you 10 p," says Laura.

That's very kind, Laura.

Okay, what do you think about that, then? Let's check your understanding.

Share these experiences, if you can.

Have you ever given money to a friend? Have you ever been given money by a friend? Have a discussion around those things, and pause the video here to do so.

Welcome back.

Did you manage to share some of those experiences? They decide to do a sponsored silence for charity.

"People promise to pay us some money if we finish a challenge," says Lucas.

"They sponsor us." And you can see a sponsorship form in the middle there.

It's a really simplified version, but what this is saying is that the person on the left is the sponsor, they're giving the money, and on the right, it says how much they're planning to give.

"Then," says Laura, "we collect the money and pass it on to our chosen charity." Okay, let's check your understanding of that.

Here's a nice maths question for you to have a go at.

How much money did they raise altogether? Pause the video and see if you can work that out.

Welcome back.

"Altogether, we raised 22 pounds," says Lucas.

That's because they've combined five pounds, five pounds, 10 pounds and two pounds.

All right, it's time to have a go at the first task, then.

Number one, does your school ever raise money for charity? What other charities do you know about? Make a list as a class and then group them into different categories.

For number two, have you ever seen or participated in any events to raise money for charity? Make a list as a class and then group them into different categories.

Pause the video here and have a go at those tasks.

Good luck.

Welcome back.

Lucas says, for number one, "We had charities to do with health, animals and poverty." Is that what you found with your class? Maybe.

You might have had some other types as well.

And for number two, Laura says, "We had physical challenges, like sponsored hikes and cake sales." What other things did you have when you listed things down as a class? Maybe you could do some comparison.

Okay, let's move on to the second part of the lesson now.

Here, we're gonna look at some different scenarios involving giving money.

Lucas and Laura go to a toy shop.

Lucas says, "I need another five pounds for what I want to buy.

Can you give me five pounds, please?" Let's check your understanding here.

What should Laura do? What do you think? You might want to discuss this with somebody near you.

Pause the video here to do that.

Welcome back.

Well, this is what we thought.

Laura shouldn't feel pressured into giving Lucas the money.

You don't have to give anybody your money unless you feel comfortable.

Five pounds feels like too much to give away from your pocket money.

You should check with an adult if you are not sure what to do.

Laura thinks about what she should do.

"I'll give you the five pounds if you stay as my best friend for the whole year." Hmm.

This time for our check for understanding, then, we're gonna think about what should Lucas do.

It's a tricky one, this.

Have you ever been in a situation like this? I wonder if that will help you to share some of your thoughts about this.

Pause the video and have a go.

Well, here's what we thought.

Lucas should reject the offer.

Friendship is not something that should be bought.

Friendships are based on respect and not giving or receiving money.

Is that broadly similar to some of the things that you thought? Maybe, maybe not.

Remember, this is all about opinions.

A fortnight later, Lucas and Laura go to another toy shop to buy some more toys.

"Oh, no.

I need five pounds again.

Have you got any money, Laura?" So Lucas is asking Laura for money again.

We're gonna use that scenario to have a go at task B.

You can see on the screen that the characters have arranged themselves into two different groups with Laura in the middle, and they've made a corridor for Laura to walk along.

As she walks along, each person in that group that she gets level with is gonna say something from a perspective that they get given by the group.

We've got one group who thinks that she should give the money to Lucas, and one group who think that she shouldn't.

Now, you are gonna be in one of those groups, and it might be that the group has been given a perspective that's different to your own, but that's okay.

It's good sometimes to explore what other people might say that disagree with your own opinion.

After that, I want you to try to think about what she should do.

It's possible that when you hear all these different perspectives, you might change your mind.

Okay, that's number one, then.

For number two, for each of the scenarios below, what would you do? Why, and how would you feel? For a, you're queuing to buy an ice cream with a friend.

They ask you to give them two pounds so they can buy the biggest ice cream there is, though they do have money.

What do you do? For b, you notice a classmate is very upset on a school trip because they didn't look after their money and lost some.

Do you give them some of yours? And for c, a friend says that if you don't give them the money to buy some sweets, you won't be friends anymore, and they won't invite you to their party.

What do you do? Okay, pause the video and have a go at those two tasks.

Welcome back.

We've got some examples of some of the opinions that you might have had as you got somebody to walk along that corridor.

"You gave it to him before." "He might keep asking every time." "Oh, go on, Laura, it's only five pounds." "Lucas should have thought ahead and brought more." "He needs the money." "It's your money so you don't have to give it." Okay, you might want to, as a class now, have a vote over who thinks that she should give the money and who thinks that she should keep it for herself.

Pause the video to do that now.

Now we haven't got any specific feedback for number two, but what you might want to do, again, is have a vote to see what people think for a, b, and c.

Pause the video to do some sharing of your different opinions and to vote on them.

Okay, we've reached the end of the lesson.

Here's a summary of our learning today.

There are lots of different situations where you might choose to give money, such as friends in need, donating to charity, or giving for fundraising.

You don't have to give money away, and you should make decisions based on what you feel comfortable with, which might mean not giving anything, and that's okay.

It's really important that you feel comfortable when you're giving money away.

Okay, I enjoyed that lesson.

I hope you did as well.

My name's Mr. Tazzyman, and maybe I'll see you again soon for another financial education lesson.

Bye for now.
