Today we made biscuits with Mrs Brown-Lee. We used cutters to make people who are special to us. Thank you for helping us today.

We had a great morning making our characters. We used our designs so that we knew what to do and then we added fabric and eyes to give our objects a new identity. Here are some of our finished creations. It was great to see how closely our designs matched our finished characters.
