What the testers said: “The children’s reactions were fabulous when they came into the classroom and first saw the bunting. They were very interested in the letters and we used them as part of our phonics session. We found it useful that we could thread the ribbon through ourselves, as this meant we had more choice of where to hang the resource within the classroom. Overall a great way to brighten up the classroom with a really useful resource.”
