The Gingerbread Man

27/1/2013

Last week's story was the Gingerbread Man.  We read the story, retold it in pairs, made a storyboard and put cut and stick gingerbread men in our scrapbooks.  On Friday we went to the staffroom to bake some gingerbread men.  It was lots of fun measuring out the ingredients, mixing, stirring and rolling.  The best part was eating them - they were delicious!  Some of the children were hoping the gingerbread men wouldn't run away before we ate them!
