We’ve been learning about fractions and money. To consolidate our topic, we walked to Tesco to buy snack. Pupils wrote a shopping list of fruit, vegetables, crackers, cheese, butter and of course donuts. They navigated the shop by reading the signs and then decided what to buy based on calculating the amount they needed. Pupils paid, counted their change and prepared the snacks when back at school. We decided everyone would try at least a lick of each fruit and vegetable and even Mrs Sjoberg tried a blueberry.

Pupil comments:

‘If we cut the orange into half and then quarters we will get 8 bits from one orange, so we will need two because double 8 is 16’

‘If we buy 4 whole donuts and cut them into quarters then we will have 16 bits’

‘That says £2.10 but this one is on a yellow sticker and says £1.90 so it is less money, we should buy this one’.
