Museum On the Mound

Primary 5b had a fantastic time at the Museum on the Mound in Edinburgh today,  where we learnt a lot more about money.

We travelled to Edinburgh on the train from Livingston South and even survived the walk to and from the station through the wind and rain!!

We all completed 3 workshops about money – What is Money?, Making Notes and Heads & Tails. We learnt about all different types of currencies throughout the world like coco beans, shells and even tea leaves. We looked at coins and how they all have a heads and tails side with particular pictures on them. We also got to make our own coins! Lastly we learnt about notes and created our own paying particular attention to the security measures.
