The children in Reception went to visit the local shops in Cotteridge to buy vegetables for their soup. One group went the Co-operative and the others went to Derek’s Grocery Shop.
The children explored the two different shops and took lots of photos. The had maps to make sure they knew where they are going and had shopping lists to find the right vegetables.
When the children got back to school, they talked about the shop they had visited and what the differences were.
