Five Currant Buns

This week in Reception we have been learning about nursery rhymes, and one of the rhymes we have been focusing on is “Five Currant Buns.”
As part of our learning, we visited the local bakery so the children could explore the differences between a bakery and a supermarket. We discovered that the prices of pastries have changed over the years and that many items are now much more expensive.

The children enjoyed choosing a range of different pastries to share with their friends. We also used this experience to practise some maths skills. When paying for our pastries, the children helped check that we received the correct change from a £10 note.

During our visit we were able to look inside the kitchen area, and we talked about where food is made and how it is prepared. This reminded the children of the time we made banana bread together in class, and they enjoyed making connections between the two experiences.
