Class 2 Autumn 1.2

We are Bakers
Autumn 1 2020

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...

Tee hee hee!

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!!!

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

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

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

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!!

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.
