Trip to Bank of England – 06.05.16

Last Friday, year 4 visited the Bank of England Museum to explore the world of money. This was John Perryn’s first ever visit here therefore we had lots to learn!

One exciting fact we learnt was, did you know that our bank notes are made out of cotton? A £5 note typically lasts one year. To help save paper, from September £5 notes will now be made from plastic! Can you guess who’s face will now be on the new notes? *Clue* He was Prime Minister during WWII.

Enjoy looking at our pictures, we all had lots of fun!
