Shared Area

In our shared area we have Patana Central which is like a shopping centre. We have a dentist, a sushi bar, opticians, cafe and greengrocers.

When we play in these we are learning to be gentle, polite, communicate, cooperate, have a imagination and be a good thinker.

In the Sushi Bar you can make plastercine Sushi and learn how to use chop sticks and exercise the muscles in your fingers.

In the cafe you learn how to use money and pay with the right money.

To learn how to eat properly in the cafe for example not to speak with food in your mouth. To learn how fun it is to be whatever job you are playing and then you could be it when you grow up.

You learn to design glasses and play where you test to see if your eye sight is fine in the Opticians.

In the shared area dentist we are learning about where teeth are in the mouth and what shapes they can be.

You can get pretend vegetables and fruits and weigh them and learn how to read scales in the year 3 greengrocers between 3w and 3C.
