The children in P1/2 have been investigating different coins and notes this week. P1 have been sorting coins, to identify the different denominations and using the different coins in role-play. Yesterday they had their very own shop and took it in turns to be the customers and shopkeeper. They have also been taking part in other activities to help them add 1p and £1 coins.

P2 have used what they learned about different coins, last year and their mental addition skills to practice counting on to add coins of different values. Next week they will be learning about giving change when they don’t have the correct amount of money, to pay for something.

 

All the children have enjoyed making rubbings of the different coins. The P2 children have worked well to help the P1 children to find the coin they need to make a rubbing of and this work has also helped them to recall what each coin looks like; its shape, colour and size.
