This morning we have been creating patterns in the sand trays. The children have used the pattern stones to print a pattern and have also been using sticks or their fingers to trace the pattern. Some of the children even started creating their own. We have enjoyed discussing the different shapes within the patterns and what we think they look like.
“They’re squares.”
“It’s a 1, 1, 1, 1.”
“It’s my name.”
“I think it’s curly.”
“I’ve got stripes. “
This week the toddlers have been extremely busy. After enjoying home grown vegetables for snack this week, they decided to make some yummy blueberry muffins to enjoy for snack.
We all washed our hands and found a recipe book to let us know what ingredients we needed.
This is what we needed:
Plain Flour
Caster Sugar
Baking Powder
Salt
Melted Butter
Buttermilk
Lemon Rind
2 Eggs
Blueberries
We put all of the dry ingredients into a bowl, flour, sugar, baking powder, lemon rind and salt and gave it a stir.
Now we had to mix the wet ingredients, buttermilk, eggs and melted butter.
And gave it a good stir.
We carefully added the wet ingredients to the flour mix and gave it a good mix. It became very gloopy!
Pop in some blueberries.
The children took great care filling the muffin cases before putting them in the oven to cook.
The muffins looked delicious when they were cooked. The children had to wait till they had cooled before enjoying them for snack.
Some of the children wanted to taste some of the blueberries…. even the lemon!
What will we make next time?
