So it is perfectly acceptable for your child to write something like this:   Granmar is siting in bed 🖉 Gran has got her prity hat on  🖉 Miss Wilde and Miss McGill  haven’t yet taught all the Phonics sounds, which means captions like the above  are  all perfectly age appropriate.

Helping to stir and measure ingredients are super skills! You could take a photograph or draw pictures to show  Miss McGill and Wilde .   Challenge: Could you  write or draw  a list of ingredients you used?
