What an eventful week in Dosbarth Gwyrdd! We have had so much fun reading The Gingerbread Man that the children have asked for another week exploring the book! Here's a peak at some of the things we enjoyed this week and we are looking forward to next week and what it brings!
After reading the Gingerbread Man we discussed and identified a range of adjectives to describe him, using their sound knowledge the children explored with mark making and wrote their list of words carefully onto their own Gingerbread Men!
We've enjoyed sound and word hunts around our outdoor area and have been learning to identify sounds and match them correctly. The children have been developing their blending and segmenting skills to help them read a range of key words.
In Mathematical development we have been continuing to develop our counting skills, exploring one to one correspondence to ensure the gingerbread Man had the correct number of buttons. We used Gingerbread Man rulers to help us measure a range of objects around our school. It was so much fun!
The Gingerbread man was very mischievous, he escaped from our room! Luckily he left us a note that provided us with a set of clues to follow. We were fantastic detectives and eventually found him! In our fridge!! We enjoyed a tasty snack and made maps of our journey around the school!
We spent time thinking about why the Gingerbread man couldn't go into the river. We thought carefully about how we could help him cross safely!! There were some amazing ideas! We made and testing our own boats, bridges and rafts to help him cross. We tested these in water to check that they would be of use to the Gingerbread Man!
Using a simple Gingerbread recipe we made our own cookies, some shaped like men, women or houses! We enjoyed being bakers but not quite as much as when we were food tasters!! We shared different words to describe the yummy biscuits and will be busy next week creating a display of our wonderful work for everyone to see!!
It's safe to say that this week has been enjoyable and funfilled. We are very excited to see what the Gingerbread Man has in store for us next week too!! Da iawn everyone in @dosbarthgwyrdd for another wonderful week!
