Class 2 Autumn 1.2

Blue polka dot pattern

On Monday after lunch, the children came back to a very messy classroom. There was flour all over the floor (Miss Sim was not happy) and some ingredients left with a note...

At the end of the story the Gingerbread man has to stop at a river and looks for a way across. Mrs Wolfarth asked why he didn't swim? We weren't sure, so we decided to investigate, Mrs Wolfarth, put one of the spare biscuits in water and we predicted what would happen.

We took part in the harvest assembly, Mrs Roberts explained to us why we celebrate harvest and we discussed bring in food for those that were struggling to buy enough for their families. We danced to 'Dingle Dangle Scarecrow' pulling our our best scarecrow faces!!

We got to try a ginger bread man for snack time and Mrs Wolfarth wrote down our descriptions of the biscuit.

We checked on the Gingerbread man after lunch and a lot of our predictions were accurate. Mrs Wolfarth mixed the water and the wet, soggy GBM up and created a sloppy mess, Harry was less than impressed feeling it!!

At the beginning of the story the Gingerbread man runs away from Mr and Mrs Baker and it seems he visited reception again! 

Swimming is not a good idea, can you build me a bridge?

We decided to create lost posters to warn the rest of the school about the little Gingerbread making a mess in reception and see if we could catch him!!

We have loved using the role play bakery throughout this topic, pretending to create our own baked goods and selling them.

We quickly realised we needed a recipe to make a gingerbread man. Effie suggested we use the book in the bakery, however this didn't have a gingerbread recipe in it. We used the internet to 'google' a recipe, and due to current restrictions Mrs Wolfarth mixed the ingrediants together to keep us safer. We offered suggestion how to mix and roll out the dough, and we got to have a smell as the cinnamon and ginger was added to the mix. It smelt of Christmas!!!
