The Junior Infants have been busy shopping in Aistear this month!🛒 We are learning all about the supermarket and the different types of shops.

Group 1 sets up a supermarket, sorting items into the different aisles. The girls took it in turns to work at the cash register, as shopping assistants and customers. We had to remember to check our receipts and whether to pay by cash or card.

Group 2 were making breakfast and putting it on trays for their mams and dads. We put different toppings on our pancakes. We discussed how we would like to cook the eggs.

Group 3 played a shopping list memory game.

Group 4 were designed a new winter clothes collection…it will be featuring in Vogue soon.

Group 5 built a train track between Waterford Plunkett station and Dublin Heuston station. The girls pretended to build shops in the city centre.

Group 6 constructed a shopping centre which contained  various shops e.g. furniture, pet, food, clothes, electrical etc.

We have read many stories about shopping. One of our favourites was ‘The Shopping Basket‘ by John Burningham. We wrote a sentence and drew a picture to show what part of the story we enjoyed the most!
