Today was a very exciting day for the children in Apple Class, it was their first school trip of the year! The children arrived at school ready for a very busy day ahead. The high vis jackets were on and the children ready to go. The children walked to Lidl following instructions and spotting things on the way. "Look it's the 496!" said George. Once we arrived in Lidl we had a fun filled trip up in the lifts and then set off to do our shopping.
Each group was responsible for buying certain ingredients for our biscuits, including the decorations. The children set off thinking about were certain items might be kept in the store. Once they selected their shopping we headed to the tills to pay. The children packed their bags, collected their receipts and it was time to head back to school to get baking. After one more trip in the lift!
The children worked in their groups to follow the same biscuit recipe as we used last week for Children in Need. This meant they were familiar with it and beginning to become more independent. The counted the spoons, mixed, rubbed and rolled. Today we cut out elephant biscuits as our story of the week is Elmer.
Phew, it was nearly time for lunch! The biscuits were baked and after lunch we got set decorating them. We chose our own colours and decorations like the elephants who dress up for the elephant parade in Elmer. A busy day, full of lots of experiences and fun. The children listened and behaved well despite the high levels of excitement. We hope the children enjoyed the biscuits and maybe shared them with you!
Great fun helping with today's trip. The children were all well-behaved and really enjoyed themselves - especially in Lidl's. Many thanks to everyone,in the Apple class, and of course, the teachers who made this trip possible! :)
