Today, the preschool visited a local supermarket to learn about British values within our community.
The children demonstrated excellent listening and attention skills while managing the busy setting, reflecting on the significance of safety.
During the visit, they collaborated as a team to recall items on our shopping list, which included bulbs for our garden, water to keep hydrated, and a small treat of chocolate.
This experience helped reinforce important lessons about teamwork and community engagement.
