We started our money topic today in maths and commenced by calculating the best offers to buy goods.  First, we had to calculate how much certain products would cost on an internet site (including delivery) and then we compared the cost of the same goods on another site.  As a spicy challenge we worked out how we could “shop around” by buying our goods over a few sites to ensure we got the best deal….Moneysaving Expert – you have competition!

We continued to look at ways in which we could partition numbers into “partial quotients” to make them simpler to divide in our Number Talks and learned more about Queen Victoria (Empress of India – although she NEVER visited!) in our topic work.

We continued to work on our lines and songs for our assembly and prepared ourselves for our school trip tomorrow – we are very excited!  Please remember to bring a packed lunch if you have not ordered a school one – thank you!
