The last two weeks the children have been learning about how to write instructions and  follow them.

We made play dough and baked cookies. They all had a part of play dough to take home.

If you have time, have a go with making play dough with them.  See if they are able to follow the instructions. Have fun! The children helped to write out the method on the white board.
