We have had a wonderful time designing, making, printing, smelling and acting out aspects of the Gingerbread man.

In phonics we are writing simple sentences and thinking of describing characters.
e.g ' The thin man
The man was fast.

We have been reading our book bag books a lot this week as we have been blessed with two students for the last two weeks. We will be down to 1 next week then 0.
Its makes such a difference reading little and often.
