In this quiz, written for KS1 children in years 1 and 2, we take a look at jobs. More specifically, we look at why people have jobs - to earn money to pay for things. Not just luxuries, like holidays or nice clothes, but essentials such as housing and food.
The things we need cost money. Food, electricity, homes, water, cars, clothes… the list is almost endless. So, how do we get the money to pay for them? The answer is “by getting a job”.
Most of us need to work. Some jobs pay more than others and these are ones you need qualifications for. So the better you do in school, the better the job you will have when you leave.
