Please could your child draw circles and colour them in to form their Gingerbread man. As an extra challenge you could cut him out and make a puppet. Please send this to us on Evidence Me. If you need help with this just ask. Thank you.

This is the link to our website. It has our expedition on it and what we have learnt.
We read the story of ‘The Day the Crayons Quit.’ We looked at colours and sang the song, “I can sing a rainbow.” We melted our wax crayons onto the rainbow that we had painted.
Our children looked amazing on World Book Day. They enjoyed all of our stories and acting them out!
