Hello.
My name is Mr. Tazzyman, and I'm really looking forward to today's lesson, which is all about financial education.
We are thinking about money, what it is, how it makes us feel, and the kinds of things that we use it for.
How exciting.
Okay? Make sure that you are ready to listen, ready to learn, and then we can get started.
Here's the outcome then.
By the end, we want you to be able to say, I understand that money has a value and needs to be kept safe.
These are the key words that you are gonna hear during this lesson.
I'm gonna say them and I want you to repeat them back to me.
I'll start by saying my turn and say the word.
Then I'll say your turn, and it'll be the time that you need to say it back to me.
Make sense? Okay, here we go.
My turn, coin.
Your turn.
My turn, wallet.
Your turn.
My turn, safe.
Your turn.
Okay, here are some of the things that we're gonna be thinking about.
For the first part of the lesson.
We're gonna look at how to keep money safe, and for the second part of the lesson, we're gonna think about how to carry money.
Now, lots of you have probably had experience of those two things already, but it's really good to share some of the expertise that you might have and also to ask other people's opinions to see if they can give you any fresh ideas.
In this lesson then we are gonna meet Lucas and Sam.
Hi Lucas.
Hi Sam.
They're gonna help us along by sharing some of their own thinking about the ideas that we are gonna be learning about.
Okay then, let's start.
Lucas has some coins.
His sister likes to take them.
Has anybody else got perhaps a younger sibling who likes to take some of their things sometimes without asking, it's tricky, isn't it? Well, poor Lucas, his sister's taking his money.
How can I keep them safe? He says.
Aha, Lucas puts them all in a bowl so they're all together and he knows where they are.
His little sister knocks the bowl over.
Little sisters do that sometimes.
That didn't work, he says, and there are his coins all lying on the floor.
So let's check your understanding by thinking about how Lucas can keep his coins safe.
What could he do? Pause the video and come up with some ideas together.
Welcome back.
What ideas did you have? Did you think about a piggy bank? How many of you have a piggy bank? Perhaps some of you already have.
Did you think about a bag? And you can see that this bag has a drawstring on it, which means that you can tighten it to keep it shut and prevent the coins from falling out.
Did you think about a jar? Jars with a screw top are a good way to keep money safe because screw tops prevent people like little sisters from getting into them.
Did you think of anything else? Maybe you thought about a money box, that's similar to a piggy bank in a way, but it might look a little bit different.
Well, Lucas decided to use a piggy bank and he puts his money into a piggy bank.
"Where should I put the piggy bank?" says Lucas.
Because that's important too, isn't it? It's not just about making sure that the money is in a safe place itself, but it's also about making sure that whatever container you've chosen for it is also put in a safe place.
Can you think of a good place to put a money box? If you had one that was full of coins, where would you choose to put it in your house to make sure that it was safe? Have a go at thinking of some different ideas for that.
Pause the video now.
Welcome back.
What ideas did you have? Well, you could perhaps put it on top of a table, somewhere safe.
Maybe you could store it underneath your bed if you've got a gap there.
You might like to put it inside a cupboard or a wardrobe.
And maybe you had some other ideas yourselves as well.
Remember, everyone's house and home is different, so there might be different places in your home that you could keep something safe in comparison to other people's.
Where do adults keep money safe? Adults don't tend to use piggy banks or things like that very much.
Some of them do, but not very much, and because they need to pay for lots of different things, adults tend to have more money than children, so I wonder where they keep theirs safe.
Well, Lucas says, "My mom uses her card." And you can see there that that's a contactless card.
It's not lots of coins, it's just one card that she can use to pay for things.
And Sophia says, "Dad says his money is in the bank." So Sophia's dad, like a lot of other adults, asked the bank or a bank to keep their money safe for them.
It's time for your first task then.
For number one, we're asking you to consider whether these are safe places for money or coins, and then we're asking you to think about where you might keep your money.
So I want you to imagine for each of these images, put the coins in the places shown by the arrow.
Would coins be safe down the back of a sofa? Would be safe underneath a pillow? Could you keep them in a mug? What about a jar? Could you keep them in the front of a bag or a rucksack? Oh, I know.
What about on the floor? Or would they be safe in a money box? You might like to choose which of these you think is the safest and which is the least safe.
For number two, it's a similar kind of task, but this time I want you to imagine you've got coins inside a money box.
Where might be the safest place to put those? Could you pick out some of the safest ones and some of the least safe ones shown here? We've got in the back of a car.
On the top of a table, in a flower bed in the garden, on top of a desk, underneath a bed, on the floor, or in a cupboard or wardrobe.
Okay, pause the video here and have a go at those tasks, good luck.
Welcome back.
Here's the answers we thought about for number one.
We felt that on the floor would be the least safe and in the money box would be the safest.
Maybe you had some different opinions to that.
Here's number two.
The least safe was on the floor, or in the garden in a flower bed.
The safest would be up high on some drawers or perhaps in the cupboard.
Let's move on to the second part of the lesson now, how to carry money.
Lucas and Sam have gone to the school disco.
I love a disco.
Do you? Well, at this disco, they've even got glow sticks for 10 p each, and Sam says, "I have some coins to spend." "So have I," says Lucas, "Can you see?" He's got a glow stick already and he's put it on his head.
Great choice of place to put your glow stick Lucas.
"Oh no." Sam says, "I've lost my coins." "Oh no, did you drop them?" Says Lucas.
How do you think Sam is feeling? Let's use that for our as our check for understanding.
We've got here a sentence to complete.
Sam is feeling.
And you need to choose an emotion to place in there.
Pause the video and have a go at that.
Welcome back.
Lucas thought that Sam might be feeling cross or angry.
Sam says that she's feeling upset and sad.
I'm not surprised.
Have you ever lost any money? It's very frustrating.
Alex finds Sam's coins on the floor.
Well done, Alex.
"Now I can buy a glow stick," says Sam, and you can see it on her head there.
Let's check your understanding again then.
How can you keep coins safe? What could you do if you were carrying them around? We've already talked about how to keep 'em safe in the house, but what could you do if you wanted to transport your coins? Pause the video and have a think.
Welcome back.
Here's three ways that you could keep money safe whilst travelling around.
You could ask a parent or a trusted adult to look after the coins.
You could keep them in your pocket or even better still, the third image you can see there, you might use a wallet or a purse to store your coins.
That can then be put inside your pocket and it makes it even safer.
Sam and Lucas both have a wallet.
What do you notice about their wallets though? And this sometimes happens as well.
Hmm, well, I can see that they're both the same.
They both bought the same wallet, so I wonder what they could do.
Aha, naming it.
That's a good idea as well, isn't it? It helps to keep the monies even more safe because if it's lost, which happened to Sam earlier, then the wallet can be returned to the person who owns it really easily.
Okay, here's the second task then, task B.
What you've got to do is you've got to sort each of these into safe or unsafe, and then you've gotta think of anywhere else to keep money safe.
So you need to decide whether a wallet is safe or unsafe.
Putting the coins in your shoe, is that safe or unsafe? Holding them in your hand.
Is that safe or unsafe? Maybe under your hat, is that safe or unsafe? And a bag.
You might notice there that the bag on the front has a zip pocket.
Is that safe or unsafe? So think about each of those and then decide if you can think of anywhere else to keep money safe.
Pause the video here and have a go at that task.
Welcome back.
Here's what we thought.
We felt that the wallet and the zip pocket on the bag were both safe, whereas the shoes keeping it in your hand and the hat were unsafe, but we justified it as well.
Lucas says, "Money won't fall out of a wallet or a zip pocket." And Sam says, "These would be uncomfortable and coins would fall out." I think it would be uncomfortable to have coins under your hat or in your shoes.
And it would be uncomfortable to have to hold onto them all the time as well.
What other ideas did you add though? Did you have any others? Is it worth sharing them with somebody else? Pause the video now and have a go at that if you can.
Welcome back.
Let's summarise some of the learning today then.
Money needs to be kept somewhere secure to keep it safe, and wallets or purses are good ways of carrying money safely.
I really enjoyed that.
Sometimes it's nice to think through things that we might know a little bit about already.
I hope it's got you thinking about how you are gonna keep your money safe in the future.
Okay, it's the end of the lesson now.
My name's Mr. Tazzyman.
I hope I'll see you again soon for another financial education lesson.
Bye for now.
