This week we will continue to use apples as a theme for our learning. We will be making apple bisucits or muffins and apple crisps in the oven.
We will be saving pips to plant and learn a song about apple seeds to accompany the activity. We will also be playing board games and snap, and enjoying the role play area as a shop.
We will be using your blog star answers this week to make a graph so if you haven't answered the question in the home section please do so.
