Ysgol Bryn Celyn summer fair: the Welsh cake stall
Ysgol Bryn Celyn, its summer fair, Mrs Evans and every price on this sheet are invented for practice.
1. The stall
It is the summer fair at Ysgol Bryn Celyn. Mrs Evans runs the Welsh cake stall. Pupils from Year 3 help her to take the money and give the change.
When someone pays, Mrs Evans always says “Diolch!”. That is Welsh for “Thank you!”.
2. The price board
Remember: 100p = £1. So £1.10 is 110p, and £1.50 is 150p.
3. The coins
These are the coins the stall uses. They are not in order. They are drawn about the right size compared with each other.
- The 20p and 50p coins have 7 sides.
- The £1 coin has 12 sides.
- A big coin is not always worth more. Look at the 2p and the 5p!
4. The stall rules
- Customers can pay with any coins they like.
- The stall has plenty of coins for change.
- The helpers always give change in the fewest coins they can.
