Run, run as fast as you can

This week in Nursery we have been reading The Gingerbread Man.
The children have decorated gingerbread biscuits (and enjoyed taking them home to eat) and also designed colourful salt dough people.
We conducted an experiment to see what would happen to a gingerbread biscuit if it got wet so the children could understand why the character in the story needed help to cross the river. We were amazed by how quickly the gingerbread softened and dissolved. The children then came up with other ways (rather than a catching a lift on a greedy fox) that the Gingerbread Man could cross the river.
They had some wonderful ideas and followed these up by building bridges out of duplo and junk model boats to help the him cross.
