Here are some ideas from staff to celebrate

at the Royal Mile:

We will launch maths week with a fun buddies

assembly to revise all our hard work on

Primary 3, 4, 6 and 7 will visit the Museum on the Mound

Located in the historic Bank of Scotland Head Office, this fascinating museum takes a fresh look at money – and much, much more. Art & design, technology, crime, trade and security – all feature in the story of money.

and focus on amazing workshops such as:

  • What is Money?Investigate a range of extraordinary artefacts once used as money in other cultures. 
  • Heads and TailsExplore the design and security features of coins. Discover how they were made in medieval Scotland and strike your own.
  • Design Your Own BanknoteCompare and contrast banknotes past and present. Add security features to your own note using stamps and invisible ink.
  • Kists & KeysSpark conversations about value, some of the benefits and risks of using cards and how to keep money safe using the Museum’s collections, including £1,000,000.

We are hoping to experiment with BBC coding challenges and

Lots of opportunities to play motivating maths games by just scanning QR codes dotted around the school and spend lots of time focusing on

such as maths walks.

We already look forward to a

competition!

for your ideas and suggestions too! 🙂
