Live Maths Assembly

Today, Year 5 took part in an exciting live lesson with TT Rock Stars and National Numeracy. We were joined by special guest Rotimi Merriman-Johnson, also known as Mr MoneyJar, who is a National Numeracy Ambassador and financial education expert.
During the fun and interactive session, we learned all about financial literacy and why it is important to make smart choices with money. Rotimi explained how understanding money can help us look after our pocket money and make better spending decisions in everyday life.
We also discovered what promotions are and what they really mean. We talked about why shops use promotions and how they can influence the choices people make when shopping.
One of the highlights of the lesson was taking part in a “Would You Rather?” game. We voted in live polls to decide which deals gave the best value for money. This helped us practise comparing prices and thinking carefully before spending.
The session was fun, engaging and full of useful advice. We all enjoyed learning how to become smarter shoppers and more confident with money!
