The Snack Shack

We had a lot of cakes and biscuits left over from our Eid party. We decided to turn the left overs into an educational activity. The children were each given 10 pretend pennies. They were then invited to attend Susan's Snack Shack and spend their pennies on cakes for their snack. Children were encouraged to identify numerals and count pennies, learning that the quantity changes when you take something away. Some of the children were encouraged to attempt simple subtractions, using pennies as a visual prompt.

Please note, this activity was only carried out as a treat from our Eid celebrations. St Marys is a Smile 4 Life setting and promotes healthy eating and snacking. Children were limited to how much cake they could eat.
