Primary 3 have been enjoying learning about Money. We have been totalling amounts, looking for the most efficient strategy, playing games on the netbooks and creating posters to share our knowledge and understanding.

Money week
Primary 4 had a great money week last week. They enjoyed a visit from Financial Education Partnership (Fep) representative Cameron. He made us think about how to earn money and then what to spend it on. We made paper bags for spices together then sold them for some money that we could then spend on different things – food, healthcare, houses or more resources to make bags. It was good fun and made us think about the importance of money.
In class we have also been using money. We can calculate a total value of coins, work out coins to use to pay for items and then calculate the correct change.

With money week upon us, Primary 6 thought it would be the perfect opportunity to raise some funds and buy some new books for our classroom.
We began by looking at some Victorian recipes and working out how many we would need to make in order to supply the whole school before deciding the amount of ingredients would be required. It took us a while to compare and cost up the ingredients, using different online shopping websites.
Friday came and it was all hands on deck with 200 victoria sponge cupcakes and 200 empire biscuits to make in just 1 1/2 hours! Success – we managed to sell all items and raised a whopping £120 for each class to spend on valuable reading resources. Well done everyone.
