Primary 2 were busy during Money week in the green grocer’s shop. They also enjoyed Money board games and shop bingo. They are much better at counting coins and giving change and learned about the currencies of some other countries. They would also like to thank all mums and dads for all their help with their pirate ships which we put on display at the money week showcase.
Money Week
We have very busy this week with all of our activities related to money week. We have been learning to recognise all the coins and use these coins to purchase pretend shopping from our basket. We have also used money dominoes to help us with this task. We have written stories about what we would do if we had lots of money and we have made audio recordings. Plastic drinks bottles were used to create our piggy banks to encourage us to save.We have designed purses for Mrs Purdie and she really liked them. We are going to bring some pennies to school on Monday the 25th February for the Snail Trail for charity.
