This week we enjoyed an afternoon of Scottish food tasting. We all had the option to try shortbread, oatcakes, vegetarian haggis, porridge and potato scone…yum!

Most of the us tried all of the foods, even if we were a little unsure. Shortbread was the clear favourite and there was a very mixed view amongst the class about the haggis We had a discussion afterwards about likes and dislikes and were encouraged to explain why we liked or disliked one of the foods, this really got us thinking about the taste!

   

    

The following day we collected data about our food tasting and used this to begin our learning about tally marks, We practised tally marks on our whiteboards and then completed the data from the food tasting on them.

On Friday, we displayed this data in a table using tally marks.

We have started learning about money and have chosen to turn our home corner into a shop. There was lots of excitement as we chose what our shop should sell and the most popular choice was toys.

On Thursday afternoon we split into small groups and each completed a different task for our shop. Some made the sign, some prepared opened and closed signs whilst others created the opening times. We also cut out and made labels with various prices to attach to the items we have for sale. P1a’s Toy Shop will be open and ready for customers on Monday !
