This week as part of our IDL topic  we were discovering France through looking at different books.

We were also learning to smell, touch and taste french baguettes and croissants.

We were also singing and signing Frere Jacques.

Our mud kitchen is now up and running.  We had great fun exploring and making mud tea and mud pies.
