Look at what Kathryn’s Class have been doing this week

It has been an exciting week for Kathryn’s class! We have been learning about money and we even set up our own shop in our intervention room! We calculated stock, priced items and took turns to be the shop keeper and customers. After learning about recognising different coins, we were able to give the shop keeper the right about to buy a treat! We also checked our change to make sure it was correct. It was really fun to learn about money in a real life context.

Science has also been a top priority this week with the arrival of our living eggs project! We had 10 eggs in our incubator and… 10 healthy chicks have hatched out! We have taken turns to visit them and check their water and food. They are so fluffy and soft! Using the information posters, we can see that Wednesday was day 21 in the cycle as that is when they hatched. It was amazing to watch – luckily we caught it on camera!
