Senior 1 Go Shopping to The Sweet Shop

This week Senior 1 were learning about money! We all had great fun buying sweets using the 5c, 10c, 20c, 50 c, 1 euro and 2 euro coins we learned about in class! No shopping trip would be complete without a bag, a shopping list and money. Our shopkeeper was very helpful and made sure to give everyone their receipt! A good trip was had by all!
