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.

  1. Did you learn anything new/interesting about the history of money?
  2. 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).
  3. 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.

THE DAILY DRAW:

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.

Good morning all!

Just to let you know that tomorrow Ms MacRae will be doing an online virtual assembly on ‘teams’. Now we haven’t been using ‘teams’ (P1-3) but if you have an older sibling you could join in with them!

Alternatively, you will be able to view the assembly presentation on the blog, later in the day!

Literacy – personal writing

Thank you for sending in pictures of your shopping lists, Supermarket Zoo answers and any other money grid work.  You’re all working very hard in such lovely weather.  I hope you had fun in the sunshine yesterday.

Reading:

Today, listen to the Max and Ruby story, Bunny Money.  Listen carefully to how much money they have and how much they spend.  ($1 or one dollar = £1 or one pound).

  1. Listen to the story again and make a note of everything Max and Ruby buy.
  2. How much do they spend?
  3. What interesting sayings about money did you hear in this book? 

You can tell someone your answers, write them in your jotter or on a piece of paper.

Writing:

Max and Ruby were saving their money to buy a special gift for their Grandma.  Are you saving for anything special at the moment?  Tell me about it by writing a personal piece of writing.  You can tell someone, write a story in your jotter or on a piece of paper.

* As an extra can you draw in detail the item(s) you are saving for?

Below is an example for you to give you an idea.  It’s not what I’m saving for – I wonder if you can guess who is saving for this?

I am saving for…

You can also choose any of the options on the MONEY grids to complete.
