Shopping
At school every week the unit go shopping to learn how to be independent. I like shopping because we travel on a bus to and from the shopping centre. At the shops we break into small groups with our own shopping list. We learn to buy ingredients for cooking. We look for the cheapest food to learn how to budget this week i got to shop by myself had to buy onions garlic oreos and tomato sauce I really liked shopping by myself and hope i can try again next week.

P.E. On Wednesday’s
On Wednesday, the unit played basketball for P.E. The SSO picked captains who then chose the 2 teams. I did lots of running. I was really puffed at the end and had to take a rest. I didn’t get any goals in but I got to pass the ball a lot to my team. I really enjoyed playing basketball with my friends. I hope we get to play it more often.

Last Week’s PE- Emma
Last Wednesday we got into small groups for PE. We decided to play basketball. We split into 2 teams. I got puffed out from playing basketball so I had a drink of water and started playing again. An SSO helped me to shoot goals. This made me feel happy. I started yelling with excitement when we got a goal.

After we chopped them we put them into a big bowl for everyone to help themselves. I was crying when I cut up the onions. Once all the groups had finished cutting their ingredients we got tp choose what we put on our pizza. I made 2 pizzas, 1 for Miss Williams and 1 for Miss Connor. I made 1 with meat and cheese and one without. Miss Williams and Miss Connor said that they thought the pizzas I made were delicious.
