This week class 2/3 went out on their first trip together. As part of our foundation subjects topic work, we have been learning all about the different rooms in our houses – the names, signs, contents and the things we do in each room too. In Ikea the children looked at the different room displays and decided which rooms they were. We also looked at the different pieces of furniture to decide where they would go and what activities we would do in each space. We had lots of fun pretending we were cooking, watching TV, sharing a meal and putting the baby to bed! It was great to see them all applying their knowledge in a ‘real life’ setting, the communication and role play we saw was fantastic! We finished off our trip with a visit to the café for a snack – if would be very rude not to sample some of their lovely Swedish treats! They were all so well behaved and a real credit to school.
