This week we have expanded our Burns farm shop into a cafe, where the children continued to explore ‘Farm to Fork’ and the concept of money whilst role playing. The children also enjoyed exploring small world resources, creating their own farm yards and jungle habitats. To further expand on the interest in letters, the children spent time in small groups looking at initial sounds in their name and other familiar words. Following from the children’s interests of role playing families and building houses for families, we will begin to look at families in more depth next week.

Outdoors this week there was lots of talk around football. We extended children’s learning by exploring how to pick a team, chose a goalkeeper then play with a half time, switching sides. To keep things platonic we had Scotland 1 and Scotland 2. Children used tally marks to keep score and lots of celebrations were had at the end with the winning team. We listened to the music used to celebrate Scotland going to the World Cup and used iPad to explore what teams Scotland will play.
