Gingerbread!

The children received a letter from Hansel and Gretel stating they had lost the recipe for gingerbread! ‘ Lets go on an adventure to find the recipe!’ shouted Matilda. They dressed up in the nursery waterproofs and head to the Woodland gardens to search. Joshua spotted a trail of oats ‘ Look, look! A clue! We need to follow the oats!’ They explored the trees and big leaves underfoot, and then Jonah discovered a drawing of Hansel on a tree ‘ Wow! This is amazing!’ exclaimed Leo. The recipe card was found hidden close by in some leaves, and after reading the recipe Theo asked if they could make a gingerbread house, which they did upon returning to nursery. ‘I cant wait to eat this!’ Elara announced.

As a thank you to the Woodland wildlife for helping the children find the recipe, the children decorated the trees and wrote thank you notes. ‘Maybe the fairies will read these!’ said Faith

The babies and toddlers have been making delicious carrot cake! Joshua managed to transfer the most of the ingredients inrt the large bowl, but accidentally knocked the side of the bowl with the flour, which showered the table to which he announced very loudly ‘Uh-oh!’. Xanthe and Thomas tasted the carrot by running off with some and eating it! Ines was in charge of the cinnamon, and was happy to sprinkle it into the mixture, and all over the table and floor!

They have been in the nursery nature area as you can see, where Hlenhaze and James played in a den, enjoying hiding from everyone. Zach and Freddie helped to cook and found some raspberries, potatoes and garlic growing there which was used to create a meal. ‘Dinner’ Zach decided, with Freddie stirring, and others adding leaves and bark for flavour!
