Gingerbread Men Baking

11 December 2018

As part of the literacy program, our Year 1 students have been reading fairy tales and now learning to write a narrative as part of their author study. The students read and discussed the book 鈥淭he Gingerbread Man鈥� and then wrote their own version of the story.

As an extension exercise, students designed their own gingerbread shapes in the class. They learnt and spoke on how to write a procedure and follow a recipe. The students asked Ms Michelle if the Year 1 class could bake gingerbread with her in the food technology room.

The students had a lot of fun making and decorating the gingerbread. The students learnt about measurement, addition, following a recipe, writing a procedure and working in teams. It was a fruitful experience for the students.

Thank you to Ms Michelle and Ms Sabrija who allowed and supported the students in the food technology room. I would also like to thank Ms Arwa and Miss Aminah Orhan for their assistance and time.
