This week we will be sharing the story of The gingerbread man and have got lots of great activities planned including cooking our own gingerbread men, using large construction outside to help the gingerbread man cross the river, some science experiments to enable us to make predictions of what might happen, gingerbread men puppets, acting out the story. We will be learning the 5 little gingerbread men song, here is the link to the song- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCZ3dzFK6BI&list=PLjKs_NzR8ACoYWc_fGJXSYOb_OF68OJ3R&index=1
