The children in Calderwood Lodge Nursery class have noticed a lot of special food appearing in shops, houses and on TV at this time of year. 

 

One of the most exciting items of food we have noticed and wanted to explore further was gingerbread.

Karen introduced us to the story The Gingerbread Man in the book corner and we used musical instruments to add sound effects to the story.

We looked at pictures of gingerbread houses online and the Blue group worked with Nicole to decorate a beautiful gingerbread house.

Miss Dunn also shared a gingerbread recipe and we all got our hands messy mixing the dough and rolling it before using fancy cutters to make our shape. We iced and decorated our gingerbread biscuits in nursery and took them home to eat. We bet the biscuits didn’t make it past the front door before there were only crumbs left to be seen!
