We have been reading different version of the Gingerbread Man stories and talked about the characters in the books. We learned the rhyme that was in all the books “Run, run as fast as you can, you can’t catch me I’m the Gingerbread Man.” We acted out the story during our group time, wearing headbands with pictures of the characters. We chased the Gingerbread Man, while repeating the rhyme. We all joined in and enjoyed taking part. We drew and decorated pictures of the Gingerbread Man with crayons and buttons.  We have been reading other stories that the Gingerbread man pops up in. We also had Gingerbread man biscuits for snack. They were yummy!!

 We made our own books to share at home with our families. We had to sequence the story in the correct order.

We made a wall display, painting and printing the characters. We mixed flour into the paint to make it thicker to look more like biscuits for the wall display. We talked about what we could remember about the story to add to the display.

We are developing and extending our remembering, understanding and applying skills through the stories.

We are developing and extending our fine and gross motor skills and hand eye coordination through the art work we created.

We are learning the importance of working together and co-operating with other.
