This week we went to the kitchen to make bread. As we have been learning all about farming and different things you might find on a farm, we decided to learn about how wheat is grown and what you can make from it. We made the dough independently.
Through this activity we explored:
- STEM – How yeast can make bread rise
- NUMERACY – Weighing, measuring, portioning, mathematical language
- HEALTH AND WELL BEING – Working with others towards a common goal, sharing, listening and collaborating
- FOOD TECHNOLOGY – Building a foundation and beginning to learn basic food technology skills such as kneading, mixing, measuring, baking. We learned about hygiene in the kitchen and how to keep ourselves safe. Explore and discovering where foods come from.
- LITERACY – Following instructions.
Tomorrow we are going to read the story ‘The Little Red Hen’ where a hen bakes some bread. We are going to use what learned in the kitchen to write some instructions on how to bake bread.
