Ed and Bunny’s money-raising efforts have helped their school do their bit for the environment and now the school will save money using their free energy. Their teacher, Mrs Fox, said that simple things could also help. This activity will help your child learn ways in which they can help their planet and how these simple things are closely linked to saving money at home. Giving your child the opportunity to make choices about how these savings might be used allows them to practise making important money decisions.
