This term we've been looking at Measurement in Maths. We've been using Gingerbread Men to look at length. After doing this we decided it would be a great idea to make gingerbread men. They were really fun to make - a bit messy though! We made Gingerbread Men, Gingerbread Comets, Gingerbread Christmas Trees and Gingerbread Flowers ... they tasted AWESOME! Thanks to Claire - Hollie's Mum - who came and helped us make them. Here's the recipe we used if you want to try them (thanks to Emma McClutchie for the recipe!)
