To put our money skills into practice and use in a real life context we just had to go to our local cafe to test out our skills 😉

Before our visit we focussed on looking at menus, making a choice and adding up the correct amount of money we would need in exchange for what we wanted to order. We had to work to a £2 budget and not go over our limit.  What a great time had by all of the children who were able to put their money and budgeting skills into practice and join in a wee blether at the cafe. I always tell them that going to a cafe and having a cuppa and a chat is my favourite thing to do with my wee Mum and my girls ☕️❤️. The world truly is a lighter place to be in after a cuppa and a chat!

This trip led to a great interest in menus with some of our children taking the learning further and creating their own menus for their dream cafes/restaurants. An amazing amount of effort and detail was put into these menus and they made us all very hungry indeed!🍰🍪🥤☕️🍩🍔🥨🍳

I think we need to ask Mr Hutcheson if this could be a weekly trip 😄
