Social Studies<\/p>\n

As part of our farming topic we took notes and wrote instructions on how to make butter. We then felt it was important to make our own butter and taste it for ourselves. First we poured double cream into a jar and took it in turns to shake the jar for about 20 minutes!

To consolidate our understanding of how to write instructions we thought it would be sneaky to write instructions on how to steal Christmas. Of course we watched parts of The Grinch and took notes on how he did it.
