Windermere Blanket CAL Week 1
Pattern Week 1: Peter Rabbit
In this week’s story we are reading the adventures of Peter Rabbit, who goes exploring Mr McGregor’s garden, hiding between the flower pots, squeezing himself underneath the wooden fence, and oh my dear, he lost his jacket. Will you be as mischievous as Peter Rabbit as we begin our CAL journey? Can you spot the flowers and the fences?
