Run, run, as fast as you can…..

This week in Ziggies, we read The Gingerbread Man, which was well known by even the youngest children present. The story about the Gingerbread Man who managed to avoid being eaten by the horse and cow, by running as fast as he could, is a classic children’s story.

As a snack with our squash we ate gingerbread men, and designed and decorated our own version out of card. We also made a standing horse and an origami fox. We made a little old woman and a little old man out of spoons and designed their clothes, and made handprint paint pictures of the story. After word searches, quiz questions and jumbled word puzzles, we did some colouring before going home laden down with all our lovely craft.

Ziggies will be back next week  (Tuesday 24 June) when we’ll be reading ‘What the Ladybird Heard’ by Julia Donaldson, and illustrated by Lydia Monks. So if you’re in year 1 and would like to join us, please come to the middle block hall. We’ll be there from 3.15 – 4.15pm. Bring your grown up and any brothers or sisters you may have and a copy of the book (if you have one).

Hope to see you there.
