We all need to be very proud of the Barn Owls!!!!
They were an absolute pleasure to take to the Coop!
The whole class told me the different ingredients and toppings we needed to but (and they even used their new powers of PERSUASION to convince me that they needed to buy some party snacks and drinks too!!! I must be getting soft in my old age.) We then assigned a different ingredient to each team; we had a chocolate team, an ice cream team, a snack team and even a sprinkle team!
The teams had the money they had made yesterday in their own envelope and that was the budget that they ad to stick to, some teams were very clever and pooled their funds to buy better toppings!
In the shop everyone used lovely manners and took care not to get in the way of the general public(too much). I saw children working out totals and discussing how much they had left. Others were discussing if they had enough money for something or which combination of products was the best value!!! That is what we call real life maths in our class.
Finally we all made our purchases (and charmed the staff when we were slightly over budget) and lined up outside. That’s when the lovely ladies at the Coop gave us a surprise, 2 tubs of sweets to add to our decorating to say thankyou for being so well behaved and independent!
Well done Barn Owls, you have made me very proud.
