Exchanging Money For

Produce.

We read the story of “ Handa’s Surprise” by

Eileen Browne to the children.

The story is about a little girl taking a basket

of fruit to her friends. As she walks along

different animals steal the fruit from her

basket.

We tasted all the different fruits.

Banana, guava, orange, mango, pineapple,

avocado, passion fruit and tangerine.

We set up a shop where the children had to

count the money

to buy the fruit.

The children used 1p coins to count out the

correct amount to buy the fruit.

Ralph is the shopkeeper.

The other children count out the money to buy

the fruit.

Tiarna reads the price label on the oranges.

Our Fruit and Vegetable Shop.

We set up a fruit and vegetable shop in our

outdoor area. Children were able to use real

coins to purchase the fruit.

We learnt some of the names of the fruits in different

languages.

We learnt to say “Hello” in different

languages.
