The Gingerbread House Challenge

P6a revisited an old classic today – the Grimm Brothers’ fairy tale of Hansel and Gretel.  We listened to this traditional tale, but then took it to another level by discussing possible hidden meanings, metaphors and symbolism in the story.  We now know that traditional tales were passed down from generation to generation to warn children (and adults) of potential dangers in life.  Hansel and Gretel will never be the same again!  We then took part in a challenge to see which group could build the best gingerbread house, using essential teamworking skills of: good communication and listening; effective cooperation and negotiation; and hard work!
