Gingerbread men

This week our class is split up into four groups with the children from Shelley, Danielle and Ms Daniels class. We are having a fun week of learning experiences while Danielle's class is being refurbished.

The children working with Hine and Kate are listening to the story "The Gingerbread Man" then making gingerbread and retelling the story.

They get a copy of the recipe and their very own gingerbread that they made.

Here is the recipe so you can make some more Gingerbread.
