Tuck Shop – Spicy – Numeracy – Money
I made a tuck shop at home. I picked out items to sell and created my own price list.
I then opened the shop up to customers (my family). They were to pick one item and then pay using a £1 coin. I then had to work out how much change they would get back.
I used the ’empty number line’ method to work out their change. After doing this a few times I became more confident and could then use this method in my own head.
I then extended my shop, adding more items and creating a new price list.
During this game the customer was allowed to pick a few items. I then had to add them up to see how much the total cost would be. To do this I separated the numbers into tens and units to make the addition part easier to visualise. Again, this process became easier in my head after practising on paper first.
There are so many strategies we can use to add and subtract. See how many you can use for this task. You might have a favourite method. Let your teacher know it! 😊

Compare the Supermarkets – Spicy/Hot
Today’s maths challenge is related to our ‘Money’ theme. You will be given a shopping list and challenged to find the best value online supermarket.
A minimum of 2 supermarkets should be selected, however if you wish a slightly HOTTER challenge you can, of course, choose more.
Instructions and a shopping list are contained in the Sway.
Ensure that you stick to the guidelines, and keep an eye open at all times for any special offers, such as ‘3 for 2’ or ‘Buy-One-Get-One-Free’ as these offer good value for money.
Remember to post your results on Seesaw or write them in your jotter, and come back to the Blog to tell us how you got on!
Scots, Spanish & French – Languages
Bonjour! Hola!
I hope you are enjoying your new topic for this week boys and girls. Since I moved in to Scotland I have loved everything about it, specially its language. That’s why with Ms Rees we thought it would be so fun to mix all languages and give you a try matching words to their language.
Here is a word document that will allow you to see the words you will be looking up, once you find the meaning in Scots, Spanish and French you put them in the column where they belong.
Activity
In this Sway you will have one slide for each language with the words mixed up, try and find to which language they belong. Below the Sway you will find 3 links to dictionaries that could help you.
Let’s Begin.
