Today in the home room we used the kitchen to cook up a delicious Christmas dinner. First we had a chat about what we might eat at Christmas dinner and what we need to cook it. . Below are some of the suggestions.
“Potatoes, broccoli and cat food for my cat. We also have paper crowns.”
“Cake for pudding”
“Chocolate”
“We have carrots and chicken”
“We need pans to cook the food”
“Chop it with knife”
“Dish to put the carrots in”
“Plate and spoon”
The children chopped up potatoes and carrots developing their fine and gross motor skills. We also talked about how to chop safely keeping ourselves and others safe when using knives. Developing our understanding of managing risk.
Then we started cooking everything and getting it ready to serve.
Once the Christmas dinner was ready we set the table for our Christmas dinner. With a table cloth, plates, cups, cutlery and we even made some paper crowns.
Then everyone enjoyed sitting at the table to eat our delicious dinner and chat with our peers. This helps to develop our social skills while exploring imaginative play skills. We discussed our families and Christmas traditions that we do I’m our homes .
“Christmas dinner time”
“My gran comes for Christmas dinner”
“Christmas crackers on the table”
“You tell a funny joke”
We even had a visitor come to our Christmas dinner. It was “babies first Christmas”
Well done everyone for creating a fabulous Christmas dinner. Derek really enjoyed his dinner in the home corner today 😀
