As a tool for life and as a tool for learning!
Along with maps, money has been taking up chunks of Mias time. Counting, piling and sorting. Thinking about what she could buy, scouring the house for more, researching the internet for the best price!

Oliver got roped in this morning, and they were looking for dates and the changes on the coins ovcer the years. The earliest found was from 1979, prompting discussions on birthdays, how to read the dates and say them, the Queen and who will be King, who was the King before. Why are some things written in normal numbers and some in roman numerals. All done before 9.30 in PJ's and the sparkliest dress in the world, in the "holidays" too!!!
I am sure they didn't think they were learning, they played and chatted until they were done. They've just come back again while I sit and are deciding how they should stack them and count them again. Sadly it still comes to £2.30, they were hoping for more. Now we need to get dressed go to the post office and ask them about money bags and cashing lots of 2p's and 1p's apparently.
