We went shopping!

We had a fantastic time shopping on Friday. The week leading up to it was based around how to go shopping, what we may find in a supermarket and behaviour in a supermarket. The kids really enjoyed their trip!

Cooking with real vegetables!

 Talking about our favourite vegetables and fruit - then using fine motor skills to string them through to make a banner for the class.

 Making some Mr.Potato heads - we had fun!!!

 Practicing shopping in our own little supermarket.

 Miss.Myshi's bus had a lot of fun singing songs! We even strapped ourselves in tight so that the bumps didn't throw us around!

 We used our shopping list and searched for our items.

 The kids had a lot of fun touching, feeling and smelling the fruit and vegetables.

 After the supermarket trip, we went outside to do a 'sound' and 'sight' walk. The kids saw an aeroplane, a coffee shop and lots of market stands.

 After our trip, we came back to class and chopped up the fruit to make a fruit salad.  Which we then ate at lunch time!! Mmmm... delicious!

We talked about how to use knives safely (we used plastic knives) and how to hold and cut fruit.

As a home activity this week, please practice writing the letter 't' with your child. You can do this by getting them to write it in sand, salt or even on steamed up mirrors in the bathroom. You can also try making it with play dough.
