What a funny week it has been this week, nevertheless we have learnt so many new things, strengthened our relationships with one another and made progress towards our individual targets. Have a great weekend everyone. ⭐️

Our final activity of the day was decorating biscuits which was lots of fun. It was great to hear the children using vocabulary to describe what they were doing such as mix, spread, knife and sprinkles. We finished off the activity by eating our biscuits. Well done everyone. ⭐️
