Year 2's pet shop!

This week in maths we have been learning all about money. Today in our numeracy lesson we were talking about what you need to do when you go shopping, and we pretended that we were going to a shop. 2D talked about what a shop looks like and what kind of things you need in a shop, and decided that we would have a go at building a shop in Plan, Do, Review!

When we were getting ready for PDR, we talked about what kind of a shop we would need and what we would use. We had loads of cardboard left over from our castle, so we used that to build a pet shop! We had lions, monkeys, cats and even a t-rex!

Our challenge was to figure out how to use what we had to build a realistic looking shop with shelves, signs and a till. The children came up with all of these ideas on their own, including a charity pot on the tills, signs to warn people of the dangerous animals, scratch marks in the lion and t-rex cage, pretend (but life-sized and realistic) money in a till draw and an open/closed sign for our door. They worked super hard and the finished product was amazing!
