Reception had a wonderful time becoming little bakers as part of our Gingerbread Man learning! 🍪The children followed a recipe, weighed their ingredients and explored how different ingredients come together to make something delicious.

This hands-on activity supported their Personal, Social and Emotional Development (PSED) as they practised following instructions, developing independence, taking turns and working together. They showed great concentration and perseverance as they measured carefully and followed each step of the recipe.

It was lovely to see their confidence grow as they tried new skills, made choices and took pride in their baking. The children also developed their ability to manage small challenges, cooperate with their friends and celebrate their achievements.

A fantastic opportunity to bring our story to life while developing important personal, social and emotional skills!
