Health and Wellbeing
Over the last few weeks we have been learning about different types of food and where it comes from.
This week we are going to use our imagination.
We are going to create our own Gruffallo inspired snack.
Here are some examples to get you thinking (sandwiches, cereals, pizza etc)
Outdoor Learning
What birds can you spot?
Use your garden or when you are out on a walk do some bird watching.
Remember you need to be very quiet when you are watching birds.
Can you see any of these?
Record your snack by either drawing a picture of it in your jotter OR take a photo of the snack and print it out or send it to me via email.
Try to record what ingredients you used to make the snack.
