P1Wr save the Gingerbread Man!
7th May 2025
In P1 we have been reading traditional tales and fairytales, one of which being The Gingerbread Man. After we read the story the pupils were given a challenge to change the ending of the story and save the Gingerbread Man.
The boys and girls used their STEM knowledge and skills to build a boat for the Gingerbread Man to get across the river safely 🛶
First, we discussed which materials wouldn’t be good to use - they said paper, cardboard or bricks wouldn’t work. We decided together that tinfoil would be the best.
Then they got to work making a boat which would be big enough for the Gingerbread man and would keep the water out!
The challenge was a success! Every boat floated on the water when we tested them out 👏
