Literacy – Money facts
Thanks to everyone who shared their personal stories about what they are saving for. Did you guess it’s my Sophie who is saving for Heelys? (not me!).
***ANNOUNCEMENT***
School Assembly will be at 10am today. If you have an older sibling in P4-7 you will be able to watch with them through TEAMS. Listen out for a shout out from Miss Anderson and myself. We are so proud of everyone trying their best to work at these times but we can’t mention every single one of you today. We will hopefully be doing this every week from now on so stay tuned….
Today we are going to listen to a Cat in the Hat story about money. It’s an American book so, although it describes American currency (not British), it’s still funny to listen to the rhyming words and learn about the history of money.

After listening to the story, think about these questions. You can answer them by telling someone, writing down your answers in your jotter or on a piece of paper.
- Did you learn anything new/interesting about the history of money?
- Find out about the history of British money. Write down at least three facts you have learned (below is a template to get you stared).
- If you haven’t done so already, look at the money grid. One option is to design your own coin or note. Why not try that today or over the weekend?
It would be great if you have the time to complete the eform to tell us what you thought about money stories and the money grid this week. Thank you.

FUN FOR THE WEEKEND:
As it is Mental Health Awareness Week, you could try some of these activities over the weekend (Kindly shared by MIss Rodger). Personally, I love going for nature walks with my girls, gardening and reading. We have potted lots of seeds and we are having a sunflower competition to see who’s sunflower grows the tallest. I’d love to hear what you are doing to stay healthy and relaxed.

Ava really enjoyed watching the assembly this morning and seeing both her teachers.
Thank you also for her name appearing in the birthday list, it made her very happy to see.
We wish you all a lovely weekend!
You have been working so hard! We’ve loved seeing the pictures of your work and other home learning activities. It’s such a shame we left in a rush or I’d definitely have brought a birthday list home with me. I think you’ve got Ms MacRae and Mrs Paterson to thank for that. Have a lovely weekend!
