Visiting our local shop.

Today we have been busy learning about the role of a shopkeeper.

We began by writing a shopping list, then took our purse and bag to the shop to buy the groceries. After reading our lists and collecting the items in our basket, we went and paid at the till. The shopkeeper gave us our change and a receipt.

We are very proud of all the children as they were extremely respectful and polite to the other customers and the shopkeeper.

Our treat this afternoon is to make and eat something yummy with our groceries (by reading the instructions).

PCSO visit

10.2.22. What a treat! Dave and Amy came in to tell us about their job as PCSO’s. We were allowed to sit in the police car and try on their special clothing. The siren was SO loud!

Author Visit

On Monday, we kicked off Children’s Mental Health Week with a visit from local author, Sarah Griffiths. Sarah’s stories developed the children’s awareness of emotions and the strategy of reframing them, as well as developing their reading for pleasure and encouraging them to write in imaginative ways.

Our visit to Sutton Hill Church

Today we saw Reverend Dawn perform a baptism as part of our project on babies. We listened respectfully to what Christians, like Reverend Dawn, believe. The children asked some thought provoking questions like “How old might God be?” And “What is the church made of?” Reverend Dawn told us the church is made of a community of people in Sutton Hill.
