Good Morning, Nursery.
I loved hearing all of your ideas about the stories last week.
Today, we are focussing on a new traditional tale-The Gingerbread Man.
You can read the book if you have it or listen to the story on the video. (Can you guess who is reading it?)
Then choose your favourite character from the story and tell an adult all about them.
Next, can you use the story map to tell the story in your own words?
You could create a picture of the characters or your favourite part of the story.
You could make a gingerbread man puppet.
You could also use toys to retell the story or act it out.
You could even bake a gingerbread man of your own. I hope that it doesn’t run away from you!
I am looking forward to hearing all of your ideas.
Love from Miss Siswick.
PRINTABLE VERSION:N Topic Tuesday
Hello Mrs Knowler
We like your reading here.
Leopold prefers the horse (Not pig or cow) because he is not eaten and he doesn’t eat the little gingerbread man. It is a sad story because the fox is too clever!
Sam and Maggie were glued to the story, thank you Mrs Knowler! Sam’s favourite character was the fox as he got to eat the gingerbread man.
Mrs Knowler was reading the story.
My favourite character is the fox because he gets to eat the gingerbread man at the end of the story. He is sly and crafty the old fox and he tricks the gingerbread man who is a bit silly. Ha ha
I love eating gingerbread men! So does our very own fox…Eric – please see the picture. Grace
Good morning Miss Siswick!
I think it is Mrs Knowler saying the story.
My favourite character is the pnoey because he looks like a horse.
Thanks to the story map, Gabriel retold the story very well.
They make a gingerbread man in the house, in the kitchen. The gingerbread man runs off the table.
He runs, runs, runs, runs. He sees a river. He asks to the fox to travel the river. And the water gets deeper, And he goes on the head of the fox and he eat him. After they all eat something else for tea.
Good morning Miss Siswick and Mrs Knowler,
My favourite character is the gingerbread man because he is tasty.
He has pretty buttons. He is very cheeky because he runs out of the house of the girl and the mummy.
Good morning,
Mrs Knowler was reading it – yeah! Adelaide favourite character is the Gingerbread man because he makes her laugh and because she loves that the mummy was cooking it.
Adelaide then told the story using the map. She said the mummy cooked the gingerbread man. Then he ran, met a pig, the pig followed him, then a cow and a horse and finally a fox. He jumped into the river and the fox caught him, took him to his house and ate it.
That’s Mrs Knowler ! said Alexander
The Ginger bread man is one of Alexander’s favourite traditional tales. He enjoyed making ginger bread puppet with his sister.
Alexander was able to retell the story using the story map with some help.
James has had fun making a gingerbread man with dad, after retelling the story. The gingerbread man was his favourite character
Hello Mrs Knowler,
Thank you for the lovely story. My favourite character is the gingerbread man because he has lots of sailor decorations on him.
I enjoyed retelling the story-
Molly and her mum made the ginger breadman, he ran away. They ran after him and the horse and cow ran after him too to eat him. The gingerbread man said ‘run run as fast as you can you can’t catch me I’m the gingerbread man’. The fox came at the river. You must be tired. Don’t worry I’ll carry you across. It’s getting deeper, you better hop on my head. Then he gobbled and crunched him up. Then Molly and her mum needed to have toast and jam instead for tea.
My favourites characters were: the Gingerbread man because I like to eat it, we can make chocolate buttons for his clothes.
Molly and her mum because they wear dresses and they like to cook.
Miss Knowler is telling the story!
Hello Miss Siswick,
„My favourite is the gingerbread man because he runs, runs, runs and nobody can catch him. The fox ate him up at the end and the gingerbread man was not to be seen.“
Greetings from Nicolas
The boys were very excited to hear Mrs Knowler’s voice.
Great story!
Well done, everyone. I am sorry for the late reply but I am at school today. Love from Miss Siswick.
The horsey and the pony I like and the cat and the dog because them are animals.
I like when them all running and the trying to get the gingerbread man.
Thank you for reading Mrs Knowler.
Ania’s favorite character is the fox, because at the end of the story the fox eats gingerbread man. The fox is clever.
Gingerbread men runs, runs, runs, saw a pig, a cow, a horse and the fox saw him and ate it.
Hello Miss Siswick
The Gingerbread man is one of our favourites. We read the story, and also watched an animation on TV. He runs so fast and nobody can catch him ! He is our favourite character.

Thank you for your lovely words. It was more tricky for me to read that story. I had to film it three times. The first time had my foot in it!!!
I’m sorry this is late. Both me and Miss Siswick have been at St Vincent’s today. It was sad without seeing you all. We miss you so much. Xx
