In the home corner, the children have enjoyed exploring role play experiences acting out different jobs that people have. The children were able to describe some of the different kinds of work that people do in the community and have been exploring the wider world of work.

To begin with, some of the children enjoyed exploring playing in a restaurant and being the “cooks”. They decided that the speciality of the day was pasta bolognese!

“In a restaurant, they bring the food to your table for you to eat it” L

“They bring you cups of juice too, I like orange” K

Some other children decided they wanted to be workmen.

“Workmen phone important people, like my grandpa” P

“I have to write down what we need” A

“My daddy does work on a computer at school” P

One of the most popular jobs to pretend to be was a police officer. We found a police officers hat in our resource cupboard and the children enjoyed “searching for the stolen hat”. It really was an important case to solve!
