In Year 1 the children are looking at 'Celebrations' in class, so we are working on building lots of celebration vocabulary.
Here we are looking at lots of different pictures of celebrations and things that we use for celebrations e.g. balloons, cakes, decorations.
Then we picked our favourite celebrations and drew a picture of them. We told Ms Miriam about our pictures and she wrote what we said, in the corner. We know a lot about them!
