Pr.1 – Financial Education Week

As part of Financial Education Week, Primary 1 have been introduced to money. They have been exploring real money and are beginning to understand the value of some coins and notes. They also explored other representations of money such as bank cards, credit cards, gift vouchers etc. The children  were successful in their learning as they can now identify a variety of coins and differentiate between cards that represent money and cards that do not. Both classes made a grocer’s shop in their classroom. They enjoyed taking on the roll of the till operator as well as the customer. They now understand that everything we buy has a price and money is exchanged for goods.

Primary one pupils in Room 1 have been busy preparing for Christmas and helping out Eddie the Elf.  The children have been thinking about the size of parcels and using non-standard units to measure and compare size. The children were also developing their literacy and ICT skills by  writing letters, writing gift tags, using the Tesco catalogue and website.  The boys and girls have had a great time helping out Eddie.
