This week, Year 2 began looking at money in Maths, we had so much fun playing shops, first using pence and then using pounds – even notes! We were able to play shopkeeper, customer and banker. We had a browse of the things our friends had for sale before heading to the ‘bank’ to ask for the correct amount of money that we needed 💷
Year 2 had a fantastic time at the school pantomime yesterday! We danced and sang all afternoon!
