Our first tale involved a bake item that escaped from an oven and ran away. Can you guess the story? The children loved joining in with the repetitive parts of the story text - “Run, run, as fast as you can, you can’t catch me, I’m the gingerbread man!” The children were amazing at ordering the pictures from the story and retelling the main events. Great work Class 1!
