The children went shopping today and bought healthy foods for our snack.

They visited local shops, and learning about where we get our food from. They spoke about different shops in the community and what they all sold.

We also seen people we know working in the shops and popped in to say hello to them.

We walked through the park where grown ups were walking their doggy’s and they kindly put their dogs on leads then all waved to us, we felt very special.

Going out in to the community helps the children learn about their sense of self, community and where they live. In addition, it teaches the children about British values. Part of the EYFS is to encourage children to respect those that help them, so visiting important figures and speaking to them about their work for the community will help to solidify this value with the children.
