How can we help the Gingerbread Man?

13th May 2025Joshua Meade

After reading the story, the children made predictions of what might happen if the Gingerbread man fell in the river: float, break, snap, melt, turn to liquid, crumble, go soft, sink, make the water brown.

So we did a science experiment to see. We put the Gingerbread man into water and we were correct… he dissolved and went into a soggy mush. After, we thought of different ideas to help the Gingerbread Man so he didn’t fall in the water. #LovePlover

Visitors from Oaklands Care Home

12th May 2025Rebecca Bubb

We are not sure if we loved it more or if our visitors loved it more today? Residents from Oaklands Care Home came to share some stories. Some of them loved reading to the children and some of them loved hearing stories with the children. Ernest used to be a teacher and even taught Mrs Price when she went to school! We showed off our counting too to see if it helped him feel like he was back in the classroom at Hall Cross. We got lots of smiles from him, despite him missing all the skittles when he played bowling with us 🙂

Lizzy loved reading to the children and made lots of friends- Mrs Reeve said she was after her job! There was lots of giggles and joy shared.

We hope to see our new friends at our Celebration of Learning later in the term.

Tummy time

In F2BP this afternoon we did tummy time. This makes our tummy muscles stronger for writing. We listened to music and this will prepare us for re-telling our story tomorrow.

How can the goat and troll be friends?

7th May 2025Mrs Price

We shared the story “The three billy goats fluff”. In this story the goats are kind to the troll and make their hooves nice and quiet so that they don’t disturb the troll. We made predictions of different materials for the hooves. We thought about what would make the hooves quiet so that the troll was happy.
