This week we have been learning about money. First of all Miss Kinloch had us tell her EVERYTHING we know about money! We knew lots of different things to do with money. We know money is used to buy things and if you take something without paying it would be stealing which is bad and wrong.
We thought about what we like to save up our money for. On a piggy bank sheet we drew what we wanted to buy (some of us wrote the words) and we designed our own Piggy Bank.
For the rest of the week we have been doing stations to explore the metal money called coins. There are 8 different coins and we know what they are and look like.We know 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, £1 and £2.
At our stations we have been matching the coins in pairs and put them in the correct order. We have been counting out pennies to make an amount up to 10p. In our new Toy Shop we have been matching the coins to the correct price tag on the toys. We have doing coin rubbings. We have been unlocking padlocks that have coins on them and we had to use keys that had an amount on them to unlock the correct padlock. At one station we were being Bankers and we had to sort out all the jumbled up coins. We have also been busy drawing and colouring our own coins.
Check us out working so hard with our money…
I enjoyed putting the money in the right place in the bank.
Primary 1a were reading your blog because we have been learning about money too. We think you did a fantastic job because you worked hard. We would love to have a shot of your toy later this week. Would that be ok?

Wow Primary 1b, you have been working so hard. 👍🏻 Eilidhs favourite thing last week was undoing the padlocks with the coins on them! 😊🔐
That looks fun😃😋😋😋
Roxana enjoyed discovering her Mum’s purse the other day, and she bought her very first bag of Smarties by herself choosing the right amount of cash for it 🙂
Great work Primary 1! I hope no one else discovers purses and wallets in order to apply their learning.
Rory loved learning about the money: “I didn’t know there was a £1 and a £2 but I knew the rest”. We’ve been looking at other types of money that we’ve got in the house – American dollars, but Rory says he knows all about that too!
