Figure 8.9 Louisa’s dial

Figure 8.10 Scarlett’s till

Scarlett, 5:0, drew a shop till (Figure 8.10) which may have also been influenced by

the class ‘garden centre’. She wrote and cut out numbers for the different

amounts which she attached to the till. At the top of her till she had drawn an

LCD screen with more numerals explaining ‘that’s what you have to pay’. Finally

she cut out her till so that it became an object she could use in her play.
