Entry Point of IPC food

We had one week as our entry point for our IPC  Food theme. Our entry point has been divided into different parts during the week. We had fun play in water with toy and real fruits and vegetable. Kids had a chance to differentiate between real and toy food by taking bites. Our second part was during our outing to the grocery shop in order to look at different kinds of food like vegetables, fruits, protein, milk products, bread, etc. Meanwhile, we had face time with the rest of the group who were watching us on the TV screen from the preschool. We also had fun picking up potatoes from the yard of the preschool. Later on we baked them together with some carrots. We had pretended shopping in the lunch room, by using real and toy food items. After the shopping we made salad out of different vegetables that we shopped during the pretend play. Everyone was happy and excited to eat the baked potatoes and the sallad we made.

Purpose:

• To introduce our IPC food in an interesting way.
• To know different kinds of food.
• To motivate our kids to learn more about food.
• To develop their language and communication skills.
• To develop their cognitive skills.
