Shrove Tuesday is not till next week, but the children will be on holiday that day. So, not to miss out, we had an early pancake making day today!
As part of our topic of Healthy Eating in Health and well being this term we have considered how to improve the health content of our pancake recipes. We have reduced the quantity of sugar and salt in the recipe we used and we lowered the fat content by using skimmed milk. We also added healthy toppings such a range of fruits and the natural sweetness of honey. We also factored dietry requirements by substituting dairy milk for lactose free for some of the pancakes.
This activity provided lots of inter-disciplinary learning opportunities. The children have learned why we celebrate Shrove Tuesday as part of making links to Religious and moral education We also applied our maths skills to increase the quantities of the recipe ingredients and to measure and weigh amounts. We used our language skills by following a recipe instruction text and applied our knowledge and experience to create our own instruction recipe. We utilised technologies to create a high quality word processed document using images and text.
Primary 1-3 were our friendly critics and judged the quality of our pancakes. Sophia, Rose and Jack deemed them, “Delicious and yummy in our tummies!”
