Children in our Cara playroom have been developing their skills across various areas of Curriculum for Excellence through the introduction of\u00a0\u2019People Who Help Us’.<\/p>\n
Relating to the Social Studies area of Curriculum fro Excellence; children\u00a0are beginning to explore and investigate the roles people, shops and services play in\u00a0the community with Miss March who has\u00a0recently taken\u00a0some groups of children to our local Waitrose.\u00a0Children investigated money and the vital and important role of shop staff. Children also developed skills in numeracy and literacy as they wrote out their own shopping list and proceeded to count out and weigh items in store.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Miss Gaffney is supporting children as they begin to develop aspects of Health and Wellbeing. Children are sharing their thoughts and ideas in relation to describing the roles and responsibilities of people in the wider community, such as the doctor, police and lollipop services.<\/p>\n
\u00a0We will observe and see how the learning develops in response to children’s thoughts over the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
\n
To further support children’s learning – it would be wonderful to have a variety of parent’s share their skills and talk about their job with the children. Perhaps you are a florist? You could share your creative skills with the children and tell them about what floristry involves. Perhaps you are a dentist, a police officer or a lorry driver…..what ever your skill….the children will be very interested to hear from you!<\/p>\n
If you can give up half an hour of your time, it would be very much appreciated! Speak to Miss Gaffney if you are interested in coming along to the Family Centre to share your knowledge!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
