In Reception we have been learning the story of ‘The Gingerbread Man’. The children enjoyed acting out the story with masks in the sunshine in the Pre-Prep garden, remembering the events of the story, the characters the Gingerbread Man meets, and chanting the refrain, “Run, run as fast you can – you can’t catch me, I’m the Gingerbread Man!”
The children practised their cutting skills, cutting out their own ‘Gingerbread Man’ and decorating them with buttons, pom poms and pipe cleaners. They modelled gingerbread men out of spiced ginger playdough; and practised subsidising using dice and gingerbread-themed snakes and ladder games.
Great fun!
