Money, Money, Money

It's maths week here at Charsfield and yesterday Jim, Joanne and Janet came along from Ipswich Building Society to help coordinate a money day.

Children from years 2, 3 and 4 were involved and learnt about the origins of money (it all started with a fisherman!), the different currencies around the world, how to save and the fact that money does not grow on trees! 

They played money bingo, money dominoes and made money boxes.  Class 2 teacher Miss Tuckwell said "It was a brilliant way for the children to gain a greater understanding and awareness of money, everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves."
