Activities inspired from the reading of Hansel & Gretel!

Making a Gingerbread House with paper and colouring materials!

Josiah had a gingerbread house project with his brother, Zachary!

They were busy piping, icing and adding sweet treats to it.

Oh yummy yum yum, when they finally got to eat it! 😊

Kaelyn coloured Hansel and cage & put together a self-made

thaumatrope!

Seemingly putting Hansel in the cage when she rubbed the stick

between her palms.

Hansel & Gretel … our Gingerbread House

Besides art & craft activities, practical lessons and moral values can be highlighted (E.g. engaging children about getting lost, losing one’s way; kindness; etc.)

Just as Thumbelina cared for the swallow, Claire is learning to care for her hamster!

Matthew made the

Gingerbread House

using a brown

paper bag

Just to recap … (6 weeks of Term 2 already …)

Wonderful to be able to introduce our children to these timeless stories and fairy tales.

They make excellent bedtime stories with ample opportunities for interaction and engagement

… with all the benefits

(imagination, vocabulary, listening skills and pronunciation, improve communication,

inculcating morals, raising emotional quotient; etc.)

Do re-visit these and the many others

The children all love to listen to stories and they love to be read to …

From the story of Thumbelina …
