Programme 27 'The Cash Machine'
In which the Number Crew sell souvenirs of the island

Pocket money seems a bit boring till the crew decide to make their own cash machine. All the animals get PIN numbers and Bradley and Fiz hand out the money from behind the machine while Flo helps the animals. The crew discover new coins to dispense the money more easily, and discover pounds and pence and how to write them. The passengers find pocket money much more exciting and they have a great time spending it in the Crew's souvenir shop. The Lion has a close shave though when he almost ends up buying Baby Bunting!
Maths Content Recognise all coins and begin to use £ & p. notation for money
Studio Action Matt shows us a real cash machine and how it works, (though he refuses to tell us his PIN number). He explains the new coins, 50p, £1 and £2, then he explains how pounds and pence are written and gives some examples to try.
