The Sunflower’s had great fun last week preparing cakes for our MacMillan Coffee Morning. All pupils were able to mix ingredients to make icing for our muffins. We also practiced rolling and cutting icing and chose sprinkles to decorate our cakes. Everyone loved making pancakes and donuts too and used a visual board to make delicious topping choices. Eating them afterwards was the best part!

The Sunflower class had an amazing day at our summer beach party. The class enjoyed lots of songs by Singing Hands and joined in with excellent signing! Afterwards, each child engaged in water play and sand play and danced to beach party music. In the afternoon, the sun was shining and the Sunflower’s enjoyed outdoor play in the sunshine. Each child cooled down with a tasty ice lolly. What a brilliant day – we are almost summer holiday ready!
