After re-reading the story, the children worked in pairs to create giant maps of the Gingerbread Man’s journey from the oven to the river! They used lots of different resources from the classroom to represent the different things he went past.

 

On Wednesday the class walked to the local bakery to buy a gingerbread man. They had to use their manners to politely ask for a gingerbread man and then use money to pay for them.

 

In Science the children investigated what happens to gingerbread men biscuits in different liquids. They tested, water, oil and milk. After 20 minutes, they observed and touched them and were very surprised to find out that the oil stopped the gingerbread men from going soggy! However, the water made the biscuit go very soggy, and crack and break!
