Dramatic Play Centre

 

The student's have voted to have the Dramatic Play Centre changed from the grocery store to the Vet Shop. Next week they will have an opportunity to make a sign for the shop. They are welcomed to bring one of their stuffies from home to have in the shop.

 

I placed some white shirts (so they can be the vet), a doctor's kit, with medicine, needle, thermometer, stethoscope and other materials. I was also able to place in the centre a stuffed turtle, fish, and dog.

 

On Friday we discussed why we have Vet's and the students had an opportunity to share all their background knowledge about Vets. Then the discussion reflected upon why people take their animals to a Vet and what happens when you take your animal to the Vet. It will be interesting to see if their are able to put what they know about a Vet Shop and implement that knowledge into their play. Accomplishing this skill reinforces the real learning for the students.
