Run run as fast as you can!

We have been reading a range of traditional tales in Reception. One of our favourite stories has been 'The Gingerbread Man'. After reading several times we re-told the story using talk for writing. We then spent two weeks carrying out a range of activities including building a bridge for the gingerbread man, creating new characters and a boat using junk materials and writing our own happy endings. At the end of the half term and our topic we decided to make our own ginger person. First the children measured  out and mixed the ingredients we would need. Then we used our fingers to get the dough to stick together as it was very crumbly. After rolling out the dough we cut out the shapes and an adult put them into the oven. Once they were cooled we decorated them using iced pens. We sneakily ate our gingerbread men just like the fox in the story.
