Zz is for Zebra
This week are learning about the letter Zz.
As part of our learning we made Zebra biscuits during Language Experience. Miss Collins pre-baked the zebra shaped biscuits so we just had to decorate them (yes it is amazing Miss Collins has a zebra cookie cutter!).
We iced them with white icing and then we stuck licorice stripes on them and a chocolate drop for an eye. When we were decorating the biscuits we remembered that no two zebras have the same stripes like our finger prints.
Here are some photos of our zebra biscuits.

Writing About Zebras
This week we are writing factual reports about Zebras.
We used this video to help us learn more about zebras. After that we created a zebra mind map with key ideas on the mind map and we have our word wall to support our writing too.
