Run, run, as fast as you can..!

This afternoon we have been learning how to retell a story. Can you guess which story it was..?

It was The Gingerbread Man! We retold the story and all joined in with the repeated phrase, "Run, run, as fast as you can, you can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man!"

We worked together and followed a recipe to make our own gingerbread men. We used special cutters so our gingerbread men were either missing an arm, a leg or a head!

We also did lots of other activities this afternoon to support our understanding of the story. We made masks and puppets from the story, designed and cut out our own gingerbread men, practised our pencil control by making patterned gingerbread men and practised retelling the story.

Can you work out which sense we are learning about this week?

Here are some clues...

We said the syrup in our gingerbread men smelt sweet - we all liked it! Most of us liked the smell of the ginger. When the gingerbread men were cooking, we could smell them - and they smelt delicious!

Yes, this week we are learning all about smell! Check back throughout the week to see what other exciting things we are doing and learning as we explore the sense of smell!
