Will Jones Space Adventures and The Money Formula - The Play by Christine Thompson-Wells

A book that allows many children across many capabilities to learn a money concept, the following is from TES:

Teaching money management in a fun and interesting way is a tall order. On the whole, most teachers do not feel they have the skills, knowledge or resources to tackle personal finance education. Can Will Jones help? Context, narrative and purpose are three essential ingredients to feed dialogue and discussion, and the Will Jones resources for primary schools mix all three in a dynamic way. Children join Will and Ben on a rich adventure set on the wealthy planet of Ozimoth, where they can find out more about how to manage money, and realise the importance of a money system, using a fictitious currency called Rupins. The story and play aim to get children thinking more carefully about what to do with their money and the life choices they can make. The charming narrative is well written: the story would work well as a class reader and the play could be staged as an assembly... The Rupins concept is a great place to start and children will enjoy the adventure... Source extracted: TES Times Education Supplement No 4714 8 December 2006

Thompson-Wells, Christine: - Christine Thompson-Wells trained as a florist in London. She has owned and run many successful florist shop businesses and taught many students in her own floristry school and taught floral design, art, visual merchandising and many other subjects at the Canberra Institute of Technology and is a Further Education teacher. Christine, because of the need for florists to enter the workforce, initiated the commercial floristry course in1984 at Canberra Institute of Technology where the course is still running at Bruce Campus, Bruce, Canberra in the Australian Capital, Australia. She says, 'the course took four long years to bring to fruition but, thankfully, it's still running in 2021.' After selling one of her businesses, Christine was appointed as the florist for the Prime Minister and Mrs Fraser at the Prime Minister's Lodge, Canberra, Australia. During that time she created the floral arrangements for one of the Queen's visits to Australia; she has been a writer for Flora International where her work was published to a worldwide audience. Feeling the need to know more, after selling one of the businesses, Christine went to university to study Education and Psychology. She says, 'the reason I went to university was that I wanted to know why people bought flowers?' This question has led her on to do a great deal of writing and has had many books and articles published on the study of human behaviour. She writes within a large genre which includes: children's books, books on mind health and wellbeing, poetry and a range of other subjects.
