Nursery have been learning the story of The Gingerbread Man. We decided to bake some gingerbread men of our own.
First we researched what ingredients we would need and wrote shopping lists.
We explored what real ginger looks, feels and smells like.
We mixed, rolled and cut.
Mix, mix, mix!
We quickly ate them before they ran away!
They were crunchy.
Yummy!
Yummy!
Yummy!
Sequoia drew a picture of the Gingerbread man running away. The speech bubble says; ‘Run, run, as fast as you can. You can’t catch me I’m the gingerbread man!’
This morning, we had a sunny walk over to the Nursery. We took our English books with us so we could tell our Nursery friends the stories that we had written last week. It was very exciting.
Nursery really enjoyed our stories. Also, it was great making new friends!
After our brilliant storytelling, Nursery invited us to play with them. We loved playing with our new friends. Thank you sharing your toys with us!
Thank you Nursery!
Leave a message for your new friends on this blog! What did you like best about our morning?
This week we have been learning the story of The Three Billy Goats Gruff. The children have been acting out the story on our garden bridge and have been busy builders making bridges of their own.
On Tuesday we received a letter from the troll, telling us he was so grumpy because he had a toothache. This lead to lots of discussion on how we can care for our teeth.
We made the troll some minty toothpaste!
We sorted food and drinks that are good and bad for our teeth.
We each got a new toothbrush and brushed our own teeth for two minutes!
Andrea was very good at brushing.
Nice and clean!
Don’t forget to brush your teeth morning and night!

In Nursery we have been learning the story of The Three Little Pigs. We have been problem solving how to make houses that the wolf won’t be able to blow down.
Theo used play dough and sticks.
Ned added a roof to his house.
We did the ‘huff and puff’ test and blasted our houses with cold air.
The stick and straw houses were not very strong.
Harun’s brick house was very strong!
We enjoyed building so much, we decided to use some real tools!
We sawed using two hands. It was very tricky but we persevered.
We learnt how to use screwdrivers.
We would like to develop our tool workshop further. If you have any spare tools or wood at home, please donate!
