Hairdressers

Our last Community Helper that we learnt about has been hairdressers. The children have really enjoyed taking on the role of the hairdresser in the St Marys Salon and have used their imaginations and creativity to book customers appointments and wash, cut and style each others hair. They have learnt about different objects and what they are used for. The children have created their own crazy and fun hairstyles in the creative area, using different materials. Children used playdough heads and spent a lot of time cutting the playdough hair after watching it grow, practising their scissor control and gaining confidence in using scissors. We also had a visit from Blackburn College hairdressing students who came to show the children what real hairdressers do and styled some of the children's hair.
