Stay-at-home RESOURCE PACKS
For
Year 1 and YEAR 2 THEME:
SHOPPING FOR FOOD Choice of theme:
For the coming two weeks, we will still focus on
FOOD, shopping for food in particular. The choice of
the theme ‘Shopping for Food’ emerged from two young girls that go by the name of Louisa
and Emma. They really enjoyed our first resource pack and to show how much they
appreciated it, they even shared a video with us of them making a yummy butter and
marmalade sandwich. So, we thought we could ask them what our next focus should be and
they both agreed it should be ‘Shopping for food’. I hope Louisa and Emma and all other
children enjoy this resource pack as much as we enjoyed creating it. Please do send us some
photos, videos or feedback via email ([email protected]) and with your permission
we’ll upload them on our website (http://taleinmalta.wixsite.com/elrc/videos-audio-clips-
and-feedback) so other children can enjoy them too.
Hugs,
Pam, Mary Jude and Urieth

DAY 1: SPEAKING
Ask your child: Can you mention any shops we go to regularly or maybe not so frequently? (e.g. clothes shop, ice cream shop, hardware store, fish shop and so on)
Now, ask them: Where do we usually buy our groceries and green groceries? (possible answers could be, from the grocery store or the supermarket). Tell them that sometimes, people shop at the local (farmers’) market and sometimes they shop at the supermarket. Ask them to compare and contrast the following two pictures and tell them to spot the differences. Encourage them to spot as many as they can. Use the Venn diagram below to help you.

The adult might wish to play the recording which can be accessed via this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vb_DlGFAJGDgHKRCn3-etA0nzyip4n1Y/view?usp=sharing
Mum: Hello? Amy: Hi, Mum. It’s Amy. Dad and I are here at the supermarket. We’ve got your list,
and we’re doing the shopping, but we’ve got some questions. Mum: No problem, Amy. What do you want to know? Amy: We’ve got the crisps and biscuits for my school snacks, but Dad and I don’t know
what type of oil to buy. Mum: Get olive oil. I always cook with olive oil because it’s the healthiest type of oil. Amy: Right, olive oil. Now, should we get orange juice or fizzy drinks? Mum: Get both. We’ll have orange juice for breakfast and fizzy drinks with dinner
tonight. Amy: Speaking of dinner … you’re making beef with baked beans, right? Mum: Yes, that’s right. Beef with baked beans is your dad’s favourite meal. It will be
ready in half an hour, so please hurry. And don’t forget the carrots. I want carrots for the salad. In fact, get about half a kilo of carrots.
Amy: Right, carrots and peppers are on the list and Dad’s getting them right now. What about dessert? What’s for dessert?
Mum: Would you like fruit salad or watermelon? Amy: Watermelon is a great idea! Uh, Mum, I love watermelon but I don’t know how to
choose a good one. Mum: Ask your dad to show you. He knows how to choose a perfect watermelon. Amy: Dad, can you help me choose a watermelon? Mum, we’re getting the watermelon.
We’ll just pay and come right home. Mum: Get some popcorn, too, so we can have popcorn and watch a film on TV after
dinner. Amy: OK. See you soon. Mum: Bye!
