2nd Primary: Learning about £ and p

Recently 2nd level have had an interesting experience learning about the UK money system - Pounds (£) and Pence (p).
They discovered how many pence made up £1, and so it was a great way to learn some new numbers 30-100!

To make the learning experience more real for them, they got to play with real UK money to see what it looked like and how it felt, before going on to make their own paper pounds and pence which were later used in an activity which will be posted here!

The students really enjoyed getting to see real coins, and to make it even better in St. Mateu class, Hector brought in a real £5 note for us to look at! Thanks Hector!

Below you can see some pictures of the students discovering the coins, enjoy!
