The Gingerbread man

In F1, the children have loved reading 'The Gingerbread man' story for the past two weeks. We have been learning to retell the story and the repeated refrains, using masks outside to chase the Gingerbread man. Indoors, we have made Gingerbreads with playdough, adding the correct number of eyes and buttons, made colour patterns using pegs and boards, fished numbered Gingerbread from flour and decorated Gingerbreads on the creative table. We introduced our Tonie box too and the children loved listening to the story on it before retelling the story using puppets in the puppet theatre. We ended the topic baking our own Gingerbreads and learnt new vocabulary during this process. They looked delicious and thankfully none of our Gingerbreads ran away.
