This week we have been exploring money in class.

We are learning to identify, total and correctly make different amounts of money.

We are adding a shop into our home corner to further explore this learning.

Here are a few tips to try at home:

• use a variety of coins and crayons to make coin rubbings – try and identify each coin from the rubbing
• give your child their own purse with real coins in it and pretend play shops
• use the food offers leaflets that come through the post to discuss amounts and values of money – scan for how many £ signs you can see
