Gingerbread People – Learning in Action
In our recent activity, we had lots of fun making gingerbread people! This hands-on experience involved a wide range of learning, from reading the recipe and identifying ingredients to measuring carefully and trying out different cooking techniques such as mixing and using a rolling pin.
The activity linked beautifully to our Unit of Inquiry theme “Who We Are.” Using different cookie cutters, we created a family of gingerbread people to represent our own families. This gave us the chance to reflect on and explore our line of inquiry: How our connections with family, friends, and the wider community shape our identities.
Our Homes and the People Who Matter Most
As part of our Unit of Inquiry “Who We Are,” we explored our homes using Google Images. We looked carefully to find different shapes in our houses and then thought about the important people in our lives. To represent them, we decorated our house pictures with symbols that showed who they are and what they mean to us.
This activity supported our line of inquiry: How our connections with family, friends, and the wider community shape our identities. Along the way, we practised lots of different skills – using maths to identify shapes, and developing our fine motor skills through careful cutting and decorating.

Tudor class went on a minibeast hunt in the school gardens. They excitedly explored the grass and plants, looking for tiny creatures. Solomon, is proudly showing the Makaton sign for butterfly, a gesture he learned during our discussion of what we might find.
This week, Tudor Class refreshed their knowledge of the Zones of Regulation. They made delicious "pizza faces" to express how they were feeling!
