Subway and staying healthy

Wow - What a fantastic week in Reception! The children were all so sensible when walking to Subway and whilst in the Subway store. 

The children had the opportunity to taste different salads, watch how they make a subway and even go behind the store to find out how the food is stored!

The children predicted what they thought might happen when the cheese went into the oven,

I think it will melt

Said Poppy!

I think it will make it go all crispy

Said Kaniska!

The children were amazing at using their counting skills to recite numbers back from 20 whilst waiting for the Sandwiches to toast,

20, 19................10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0!

They all shouted!

The most exciting part of the trip was definitely eating the sandwiches when we returned to school,

We decided to put the children's knowledge to the test by changing our role-play area into a Subway store. The children decided what they wanted in there and helped the adults to make their own Subway. They have been using the pennies to sell food from their shop and using their brilliant fine motor skills to attach blu-tak to our signs and wrap the food items.

Not only have we been learning about making healthy food choices, we have also been learning how to keep our bodies healthy. 

The children were all given a toothbrush this week and have been showing the teachers how brilliant they are at brushing their teeth! We hope to see lovely photographs of them using them at home too!

Another amazing week learning with Reception children!
