Finance Lesson - Primary 5

17th Jun 2026

On Tuesday of this week, P5 received a finance lesson and a visit from a mobile bank through Thrive and Ulster Bank, with the help of one of our school parents, Mrs McGothigan.

We learnt all about budgeting and why it is important to make wise money choices, even if there are expensive things we want to buy.

We planned a birthday party, chose all the items and completed a budget planner to stay within our given amount.

We had so much fun and are finance experts now!

Thank you Mrs. McGothigan for sharing such a great lesson with us!
