Over the last few weeks in the baking area the children have enjoyed lots of different experiences starting with making our own potato scones for St Andrews day, they worked so hard peeling, chopping, mashing and shaping before practicing their spreading skills buttering and of course enjoying the taste.
They have also been busy making a variety of different muffins for snack time, we’ve had blueberry, raisin and banana.
The children have been working on developing their fine motor skills at snack time having a go at spreading butter onto crackers, cheese onto bread and jam onto bread which has been voted the best.
We enjoyed the process of making fruit kebabs, peeling, chopping and carefully pushing them onto a skewer we introduced a wee bit of maths by recognising and following a simple pattern or making up their own.
We ended by making some delicious gingerbread cookies and decorating our “ home made” empire biscuits.
