Recipes
In English we have been looking at recipes and instructions with the help of ‘Gruffalo Crumble and Other Recipes’. We worked in groups to listen to and follow the recipe instructions to make ‘Terrible Tusks’.
In Science this half term, we have been learning about materials. We went on a ‘Material Hunt’ around the classroom to find some objects made out of metal, plastic, wood, glass and fabric. We found that some objects are made from more than one material!
