The Owls helped tell the story of the Gingerbread Man using a puppet and sequencing cards. We talked about the role of a chef before having a go at being one. The children found their named chef hats and were then absorbed in decorating and personalising them. We then made gingerbread playdough working together in pairs. The Owls helped measure the ingredients and investigated them using their senses, including smelling the spices. They selected themed cutters and created gingerbread families’ homes and hearts. The children carefully decorated their pretend biscuits with detailed features. The Owls were engaged and focused on their chefs experience for well over an hour!
We were delighted that our Father’s Day event was attended by Dads and Grandads. The children had great fun with our visitors, making pizzas. Our Very Important Men also enjoyed playing and experience various activities in the sunshine in the garden. We joined together for register and all shared our thoughts on why our Dads are awesome. The final activity for the morning was a celebratory snack time. We sat together and sampled the delicious pizza. Our Very Important Men also had a cheerful cheers with ginger beer. Huge thanks to all who joined us.

Having learnt about, and tried working in the styles of the artists Mondrain, Piaget and Van Gogh we decided to discover our own Artistic style. We discussed and planned our intentions, selected the appropriate colours – and got to work.
