Today was a lovely day in school – we did some Christmas baking! Everyone went to the hall together and we made some delicious gingerbread.
There was lots of weighing and measuring as each group gathered their ingredients.
Then we followed the recipe carefully to rub the butter into the flour before we added the rest of the ingredients and mixed them together to make our gingerbread dough.
Next we rolled out the dough and cut it into some Christmas shapes!
Then it was time to put the gingerbread in the oven – there was a delicious smell in the hall while they were baking!
After lunch, when the gingerbread had cooled, it was time to decorate – we used melted chocolate, sweets, marshmallows and sprinkles to decorate our gingerbread.
Finally, the best part of all, it was time to taste – our gingerbread was delicious! Everyone had some gingerbread to bring home with them, as well as a copy of the recipe – maybe there will be some more gingerbread made at home over the Christmas period!
