The Gingerbread Man

Why Did The Gingerbread Man Not Want To Get Wet?

Room Three have been reading the fairytale 'The Gingerbread Man' and have been wondering "Why did the gingerbread man not want to get wet?"

We have been doing science experiments with jelly, m and m's and gingernuts to explore dissolving.

We have discovered that the Gingerbread Man would get soggy and fall apart if he had tried to swim across the river.

The best part reading 'The Gingerbread Man' was making, decorating and eating our own gingerbread men!!!
