Thank you to Habib and Hadya for sharing their gingerbread men that they made at home. They were delicious! Here are some pictures of what we have been doing in class recently.

Thanks to Jess, who is a local Vet, for popping in to talk to us about what she does and how she helps animals. We can use what we learnt in our own vets.

This is a new addition to our outside area - a mud kitchen! We've been baking all sorts out there: Mud pies, stewed mud and mud soup to name but a few.

 Here we are making our gingerbread men.

We were also extremely lucky to have had some other visitors in Sunflower class - Emily's mum and the family's 2 day old guinea pigs. Emily's mum told us about how she and her family look after them and we got to ask our own questions as well. Thank you very much Rachel for bringing them in for us.

The Gingerbread Man

We have started a new book this week - The Gingerbread Man. We have acted out the story, drawn his route and used the beebots to follow the path he took. From tomorrow, we are going to make gingerbread men using the recipe below.
