At the start of this term we had Maths Day (Friday 23 April) and we focused on learning about money. We read the book Charlotte’s Piggy Bank by David McKee. It is a story about a piggy bank that grants wishes when enough money has been saved, but the piggy bank is not all that he appears! We used Maths day as an opportunity to teach the children about money throughout the school.
In the Early Years setting this included setting up a shop in the role play area and using magnets to find hidden coins.

In Key Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2) the children learnt to recognise the different coins and sort them. Throughout KS1, the children played a variety of games. In Year 1, the children had to see who could save the most money the quickest and in Year 2 they played and created their own money track games.

All the year groups enjoyed making their own money boxes and hopefully using their pots to save lots of money!
