Money - Jobs, Time, Money, Taxes & Take Home Pay!
3-page booklet
.
ACTIVITY 1 - Jobs, Time & Money
Give your student’s a pretend job (Job A, B, C, D, E) OR let them choose their own job!
Either tell them their hourly wage (for each job) OR get them to research the hourly wage for their chosen jobs.
Now get them to complete the template provided by calculating the daily, weekly, monthly and annual salary.
Once calculated, tell them that the government takes away a BIG chunk, as does the NHS … then you’ve got other BILLS to pay! Just watch their faces drop … definitely a wake up call and an introduction to adult working life!

ACTIVITY 2 - Income Tax, Bills & Take Home Pay
Once the shock has settled in, give them the next activity to complete.
Get them to calculate the ‘take home pay’ for each job after deducting tax, NHS and pension contributions.

Guided Reading Weekly Planning Template (over 4 days).
Younger students (YR 1 - YR 3): 8 sets of guided reading books are required (2 sets of books per group).
Older students (YR 4 - YR 6): 4 sets of guided reading books are required (1 set of books per group).
Please note: Allow for 4 timetabled guided reading sessions each week.
2 adults are needed to complete each guided reading session - normally the class teacher and TLA (Teaching and Learning Assistant) - but you just need 2 responsible adults.
Each guided reading session lasts approximately 50 minutes and each group of children should be listened to for 20 minutes (2 groups at a time).
10 minutes (per session) is allocated to changing groups and to explain independent activities - at the beginning and halfway through the session.
1 day per week (normally Friday), the guided reading session WILL NOT take place. You can choose the day!
Groups and Independent Activities: Divide your class into 4 groups (these can be colour groups, different animals, shapes - whatever you decide).
When a group is NOT being listened to, they will complete an independent activity set by you - it can link to the book they are reading or completely unrelated (e.g. a handwriting, spelling or times tables task). These are called pre-reading activities (an activity to complete BEFORE they read with an adult) or post-reading activity (an activity to complete AFTER they read with an adult).
Learning outcomes: Choose books from the same genre - fiction, non-fiction or poetry. A maximum of 3 learning outcomes should be focused on each week.
Monday’s timetable: FIRST, the TLA will listen to the red group WHILST the teacher listens to the orange group.
AFTER reading to the adult, the red and orange group will complete their independent activity (set by you).
NEXT, the TLA will listen to the green group WHILST the teacher listens to the black group.
BEFORE reading to an adult, the green and black group will have completed an independent activity (set by you).
The 5th day: On this day, you DO NOT do guided reading.
Instead, you could ask your student’s to read independently (or with a partner).
Alternatively, you could visit the library, read a book to your class OR read a ‘shared’ class text.
