Hansel and Gretel and a gingerbread house in Gibraltar

DURING World Book Week at St Paul’s First School, Mrs Mahtani and her reception class were delighted to receive a full sized gingerbread house from Mrs Leon the mother of pupil Nathaniel Leon and this gingerbread house was indeed spectacular!

It had taken Mrs Leon three weeks to make and was covered in different varieties of sweets, making it extremely visually appealing to the children. Many classes were taken to see the gingerbread house during the week and the children in Mrs Mahtani’s class all took home some wrapped up sweeties from the basket of sweets accompanying the house.

Nathaniel Leon dressed up as Hansel and his friend Lauren Muscat dressed up as Gretel. Mrs Mahtani read the Hansel and Gretel story from a picture book and the gingerbread house brought the story to life.
