Primary 4A and Primary 4B have been learning about Money this term. We took part in an online session with the Museum on the Mound in Edinburgh to learn all about money. We started by examining what materials we use for money today and tried to rip and damage a small piece of polymer each. We agreed money must be strong and long lasting.
We looked at money in the past and around the world. We discussed what money is and how different cultures and civilisations have used money in the past to trade for items. We had to guess what some of the items provided were and then decide if they would be a useful currency today or not. We finished the session by designing some of our own coins which we have posted off to the museum to be made into badges.
