Our new Tesco Store role play area!
The children voted for what they’d like the role play area to be changed into. There were three suggestions from children including a vets surgery, a hairdressing salon or a Tesco store. The children voted at together time with the most popular choice being a Tesco store. The children provided suggestions of what they think would be in a Tesco store.”Food”. “Clothes”. “Toys”.
“Tesco sells lots of things, I’m going to buy the bear”. “Here’s the bag”. “Bye, I’m going to cook now”. “Ice cream is my favourite”. “Next”. “Let me put it in my bag”. “5p please”. “Add it all up”.
The children extended their play as the days went on, they have had a great time in the Tesco store role play area this week. Staff added some real food items including tatties, limes and carrots and this encouraged the children to be even more engaged in their play. The children would purchase these items and then take them to the home corner area to use in their play. Children practiced their numeracy skills and social skills whilst working or shopping in the store.
“Shop is open”. “That will be 2 pounds please”. “You can buy whatever you like”.
Library
A group of children visited the school library and spent time relaxing with books with their friends. Children chose books to look at individually or with friends and had a good knowledge of where and how the books should go back to on the shelf to keep them safe for next time. Children then enjoyed a group story read by a staff member.
“Look at this cover, it’s the front cover, here’s the back”. “Look what I got”. “Room on the broom”. “What’s this one all about”?
