The Gingerbread Man

The children have had a lovely Book Week, telling us all about their favourite book characters and painting them for their character hats on World Book Day. Thank you for sharing with us your favourite stories too.

Our book this week has been the Gingerbread Man and we have been reading it every day. In P.E. we pretended to be the Gingerbread Man and ran as fast as we could whilst avoiding other people and the obstacles in the hall.

In Maths we have been using out problem solving skills and had to think of ways to share the buttons between the Gingerbread Men so that they all had the same number. Some of us were very sure the Gingerbread Men should only have 3 buttons each. We had to do very careful counting. We worked very well with the other children in our group, discussing our ideas and helping each other.

On Thursday we wrote our own endings to the Gingerbread Man. We thought you might like to read them.

When the Gingerbread Man met the fox he said “I don’t want your help.” He ran as fast as he could over the bridge. The fox was still chasing him so he climbed up a tree where he met a bird. The Gingerbread Man sat on the bird and the bird flew away for safety.

The Fox met the Gingerbread Man at the river. The Gingerbread Man was feeling very hungry after so much running. He started to lick his lips. He ran to the fox and said, “I’ve got a sister you might like to eat. She lives in a cave over here.” The fox looked in the cave. When his back was turned the Gingerbread Man gobbled him up. 

 AM Zig-Zags. 

The Gingerbread Man got to the river. He might fall in. Gingerbread Man thinks, “Should he jump?” No. He might fall in the river. He could fly on a bird or an aeroplane or an owl or a rocket or a helicopter with a harness or a hot air balloon. He could cross the other way. The Gingerbread Man decided to go along the path and nobody caught him. 

 

The chn really enjoyed their Gingerbread Men for snack and everybody was prepared to try them! We looked at a piece of real ginger and smelt it.

Afternoon Nursery wore their hats to celebration assembly and could tell Mrs McLellan and the whole school what the Gingerbread Man says in the story.  Morning Nursery had fun in the rain outside wearing their wellies and wet suits. They danced to 'Raindrops keep falling on my head.' 

 

Next week we will be learning about 'Animal Patterns.'
