Ethics
In this lesson, pupils are introduced to the idea of ethics by exploring how money choices can affect other people. They learn that some choices are personal, while others impact friends, family, or the wider community. Through discussion and simple scenarios, children consider what it means to be kind and fair with money, and how sharing or thoughtful decisions can help others feel safe and valued. Pupils begin to understand that using money responsibly is not just about what we want, but about how our choices affect those around us.
