You can't catch me... I'm the Gingerbread Man!The children loved inventing and using some of Pie Corbett's actions for the telling of the story. They were quickly imitating the order of the story, which is a great traditional tale for teaching them a journey sequence and the rule of 3. Some children naturally moved their learning forward to suggest innovations for their new versions of the story. Instead of a sly fox at the end, the pupils had ideas to change the ending to include a bird, snake or even dinosaur who would gobble up the Gingerbread Man. I look forward to showing you their innovated versions of the story next week. The children explored designing and making their own cottages in the construction area. Their were opportunities for writing in all our centers from writing gingerbread recipes, the key words from our story in the writing area glitter trays or writing instructions on how to build their houses. The Children are definitely now feeling in control of their learning and developing their environment. The think, pair share of ideas for next week's resources for the areas was fabulous. Through child initiated learning and our practitioners engaging in meaningful interactions with the pupils, we can skillfully build upon the children's thoughts and ideas, supporting the children's play, encouraging problem solving and offering effective feedback.
