Innovating the Gingerbread Man
Yesterday and today the children have come up with different ‘happily ever after’ endings to innovate our Gingerbread man story. Well done to the children who have worked hard to write their ending independently using finger spaces, Fred fingers and correct letters.
Beautiful writing from Laura “The dolphin makes a magical bridge for the Gingerbread Man to cross the river!” #LovePlover
Beautiful Work
In Spring, the children in KS1 completed the expedition Ready, Steady, Grow: How can I be the healthiest version of me?
During Case Study 2, they looked at the work of Dennis Wojtkiewicz and recreated some of his artwork.
We are so proud of the finished e-book showcasing some of our artwork.
