The focus of this session was gambling and borrowing. The children looked at how the government and families spend money; explored the ways in which people can borrow money and why; talked about the potential dangers of short-term (pay day) loans and thought about what to look for when deciding whether to borrow money. In addition to this, we thought about what gambling is, the different types of gambling and why people might gamble. We played a few games and watched the Grand National, placing bets with pretend money. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/5C024259-6F78-4724-B2B0-E43C4426C410.jpeg) [Year 6](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-6) [PSHE](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/pshe) [Discussions](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/discussions) [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/visits-and-visitors) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_0362.jpg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-25-spring-2-week-1-collective-worship-life-in-all-its-fullness-year-of-prayer) Previous ### [Spring 2- Week 1 Collective Worship- Life in all its fullness & Year of Prayer](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-25-spring-2-week-1-collective-worship-life-in-all-its-fullness-year-of-prayer) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/9E458D32-360E-4BEF-96CD-0B46F4A89C7A.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-26-year-6-r-e-with-rev-ben) Next ### [Year 6 - R.E with Rev.
