Money! Money! Money!

That’s what we have been excited about this week!  We have been learning about coins up to 10p. We have been using 1p, 2p and 5p to make different amounts and using different combinations.  We have also been counting up purses that have coins in them.  Mrs Wedlock has been extremely impressed with the quality discussion that P1 have been having about strategies.  We have been identifying strategies to help us count and add up coins and then sharing our strategies with our elbow partners.  Talking through your strategy is an important part of learning as it deepens our understanding of what we have learned.  We have been playing money games on the smartboard and have enjoyed exploring the coins and purses and playing with the shopping resources.

Your challenge this weekend is to ask Mums/Dads/Grans etc if you can have a look at some of the coins in their purse/wallet and talk to them about what we have been learning.  Happy money chatting P1W!!
