On Tuesday 21st November, Year 5 will be walking into the city centre to take part in a session led by the Coventry Building Society at their branch on High Street. The team at the building society aim to bring maths and its links to the world of work to life. The children will meet with various members of staff and find out how they each use maths in their roles. They will also learn about the company and what building societies do, before they go on a tour of the branch. The real fun begins though when they have the opportunity to take on the role of a cashier, getting behind the counter and processing mock transactions!
Following this, we are going to then walk to the cathedral to have a look around. We will particularly be focusing on the ruins, linking to our current History topic of The Blitz.
To get some energy for the walk back, we will be going to McDonald’s for lunch! Your child can bring a maximum of £5 to school with them on this day to spend on their lunch. If your child prefers, they are more than welcome to bring a packed lunch instead that they can eat in McDonald’s. Please ensure that all money is in a purse/food bag and is clearly labelled with your child’s name.
To get to the Coventry Building Society in time for the session to start, it is important that we leave school at 8:30 am. Please ensure that your child is in school for 8:20 am so I have time to register the children and leave promptly at 8:30 am.
Thank you for your continued support during this busy term!
