Hello and Welcome!
It has been a very busy few weeks in Year 1. We have been looking at different types of instructions, following instructions and writing instructions. This week we all enjoyed writing and following instructions on how to decorate a gingerbread man. (I wonder how many of the children shared their gingerbread men with you!). The children had great fun and couldn’t wait to be creative with the icing and chocolate beans!
