Primary 3 constructing a money box

The pupils gathered together to listen to all instructions as the teacher explained what they were going to be making and what materials such as wood, and tools they were going to use for example, a planer and sand paper. The pupils said we would need "four sides" for the money box. The pupils showed an interest in planing and sand papering one side of the wooden box and talked about their past experiences of working with wood and what tools they used. One pupil said "me and my Grandad have done this before when he was making a table for my room". The pupils took it in turns to use each of the different tools. The pupils after worked in a group as they watched the demonstration of how they were going to join the four pieces of wood and what equipment we needed to measure the length of each money slot, for example; a ruler. One of the pupils identified the number "10" with support.
