This week, our class has had its attention focused on money in maths! We’ve been buying snacks from a class snack shop after being given a budget of 3p to spend. This has given us some tough decisions to make, “Do I blow my 3p on a chocolate biscuit and have to drink water, or do I buy juice and fruit instead?”

As well as the snack shop, some of us visited the local Asda to buy snacks for class. We were each given an item to find in the store and some money to buy it with. It was quite tricky to find some of the items, but we managed to get everything we needed in the end. As well as ‘normal’ snacks, we also bought some Halloween treats for next week…YUM!

In maths lessons, we have also been learning about money. Some of us had a role-play cafe with a menu and prices to think about, while others played a coin-collecting game.

Obviously, it’s not ALL been about money this week. In topic, we learned about the parts of a castle in readiness for our visit to Warkworth Castle on Monday.

We’ve also done phonics work, Cosmic Yoga, fine motor work and also developed our play and sharing skills by playing turn-taking games.

All in all, it’s been a very busy week, but we’re looking forward to having some delicious snacks for the next few weeks!
