Each class in the school, including Little Conkers, was asked to work on a project to raise money at the Christmas Fair this coming Tuesday 1st December.
Knowing how much the children love baking, I decided decorated gingerbread teddies would be the ideal thing for our class to make!
The two ingredients the children could not guess by looking at or smelling them were the brown sugar and the ground ginger but they said they liked the smell of them!
As always the children talked as they worked and asked lots of questions and made lots of great observations.
We talked about how the mixture looked different to the scrambled egg and pancakes we had made previous weeks. We talked about how the dough needed to be just right for rolling and not too sticky!
The next job was decorating these great teddies. Don't they look wonderful!
These are just a few of them - we've still got lots more to decorate on Monday and Tuesday - we're going to be very busy!
Make sure you come along to the Fair after school on Tuesday to buy some -
only 50p each!
MORE LEARNING...
The children's interest in the Beebots was extended this week by adding a pen and paper to encourage the children to find out the lines they could make.Lots of great problem solving took place, with children trying to work out how to get Beebot to travel to different points. One super discovery was how to draw a circle!
There was more fun using the magnets with children counting how many items the magnets could lift off the table!
Our finger gym challenge this week was pegging as many socks onto the washing line as quickly as possible!
Opportunities for counting and matching as well as fine motor control.
We have been joining with Lower School to practise our Christmas Nativity and the children have been singing their hearts out.
On Friday it was lovely to see this little group of children gather around the music table and join in signing with the songs on the cd, as well as finding the parts of the story that went with each song in the Nativity story picture book.
