Pattern Week 3: Benjamin Bunny

 

In this week’s story we are reading about how Benjamin Bunny will help Peter to get back his jacket and shoes which he lost in Week 1. 


During their adventure they also collect onions in the red hanky Peter was wearing. What will Mrs Rabbit say now that Peter returned with his jacket and onions??
