Money

Expedition Date: April

Location: Kaleidoscope

Expedition Description: Cash, Create, Construct! P4 Money at Kaleidoscope

Calling all P4 creators! Join BEN and Kaleidoscope for a hands-on adventure exploring money through art, design, and imagination. Students discover how money is used in everyday life, saving, spending, trading and valuing goods; before becoming designers and creating their own Bermuda banknotes. Inspired by contemporary art, pupils use drawing, collage, and printmaking to bring their ideas to life while exploring how money represents value in society.

Students will:

• Understand the role of money in everyday life
• Explore how money helps us trade, save, and compare value
• Develop creative skills through design and art-making
• Share and explain their ideas through discussion and collaboration

Curriculum Links:

• 4.SS.E1a – Describe the role of money in everyday life
• 4.SS.E1b – Describe how money supports trade, saving, investing, and comparing value

Vocabulary Voyage

The P4 Money thematic unit is built around the mentor text Lemonade in Winter by Emily Jenkins supporting ELA curriculum-aligned literacy learning alongside an experiential school visit with AgraLiving as part of the Horizons Programme.

The Vocabulary Voyage offers a set of optional resources designed to enrich language learning in an engaging and practical way. Three short, flexible vocabulary activities encourage pupils to develop language through through small-group discussion, collaboration and creative thinking. Two additional independent writing tasks, linked to the theme of the unit, provide structured opportunities for pupils to apply new vocabulary in meaningful written contexts.

These resources ssupport oral language development, vocabulary growth, comprehension, and writing skills, while remaining easy to incorporate into short literacy blocks or small pockets of classroom time.
