In our modern world it is very easy to buy things online, use our phone to pay or our bank card. This week Woodpeckers have been practising using money. In our classroom we set up a shop. Each child was given a handful of coins and had to work out how much money they had in total to spend at the shop. They then had to work out the exact amount they needed for the items that they wanted to buy.
Woodpeckers were also set a challenge of working out how much money Miss Dore had in her 1p and 2p jar. They started off by sorting the money according to the coins. In pairs they were given a pile of coins, then they counted how much money they had. The last step was to then add each pairs amounts together to find the total.
