Surprise gingerbread houses

Room 21 had a huge surprise this morning! Mrs Edlington made a special gingerbread house for us and inside it were all our runaway gingerbread men! We got such a thrill to see them back again! We thought they must have seen the sign on the roof and decided they really should come back home to us. 

We wanted to decorate our own gingerbread house so we did some planning. We drew the front, sides and roof of the house and added patterns to it. Afterwards we showed the places where we wanted to put lollies. 

Mrs Edlington checked our plans to chose ideas from five of them to make our own gingerbread house. She showed us how to pipe designs onto the house pieces, then attach them all together. Look how it turned out! It even has smoke coming from the chimney because some of us planned that in our designs. 

We also got to decorate our own gingerbread man and a little tree. We ate them for lunch! They were delicious.
