The Gingerbread Man

 This week we have been looking at the story of 'The Gingerbread Man'. We listened to the story and then thought very carefully about what answers we needed to give to some hard questions that Mrs Abel and Mrs Carter asked us about the pictures on the plasma.   

Afterwards we took it in turns to role play the story using masks and props. It was fun being the gingerbread man and being chased by the different characters!  

 We had great fun with the ginger smelling playdough - making rafts for the gingerbread man to get across the river, decorating a gingerbread man and making lots of gingerbread men to put in the oven and enjoyed designing our own gingerbread man too!

 We painted the different characters from the story and we cut out gingerbread men paper chain families, thinking of how many were in our own family homes. We put the names of our family members onto the paper chains too.

     We retold the story trying hard to sound out the words/sentences using our Jolly Phonic knowledge; some of us used a wordmat to help.  

                                                                                                         

And of course we got to make gingerbread men too! We measured, mixed, rolled out, cut and decorated both gingerbread men and women!

And just before we went home we all got to taste them - YUMMY!!
