Use a range of practical baking and cooking techniques.

In groups, the children were set the challenge to explore a range of existing gingerbread houses, design their own, create a prototype and then bake their very own gingerbread houses. During this week a range of D.T. skills have been taught and children have created a finished gingerbread house that was then raffled off to some lucky winners. They looked fantastic and all houses met the design criteria set! An enjoyable and fun week!
