Role Play for Autumn Term - McDonald's
To begin our 'Happiness' topic, we discussed what makes us happy and different activities we enjoy. We thought about places which we enjoy going to and had a class vote to decide what our role play area should be.
The overwhelming winner was....
McDonald's!
Thanks to donations from McDonald's Penllergaer and the children's contributions, our role play looks fantastic for all to enjoy! We will use money to buy our food, discuss healthy alternatives and the importance of a balanced diet, and work as a team to cook and provide delicious food and service for our customers!
