I’m having a lovely time here in xxx.
The sun is shining and I’ve been doing lots of exciting things. Yesterday I went to the museum and saw some dinosaur bones and today I’ve been to the zoo. Tomorrow I’m going swimming with mum and dad. I’ve had lots of ice- cream; I like the chocolate ones best.
Wish you were here, we could have lots of fun together.
Love from Billy

6. Today we have learnt…
That sometimes we might have to prioritise and make choices about how to spend or save our money
That we should make spending and saving choices based on our own needs.
That we should appreciate that we may not be able to have everything we want immediately and sometimes not at all.
