Everybody in P1/2/3 joined in and made a rainbow with painted hands. We did this after reading the story of Noah and the Ark.
First of all however, we learned the rhyme-
Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain to remember the colour order of the rainbow.
We also made our own rainbow pictures with oil pastels.
Today we learned about Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Day and how it is the day before Lent .
We then looked at the recipe and discussed how it is set out with ingredients, utensils and instructions. We looked at the different bossy verbs used.
We then used our knowledge of doubles to double the amount of our ingredients, so we would have enough for everyone. We then discussed hygiene and cooking. Finally we got down to making our pancakes!
We measured our ingredients, discussing grams and millilitres and when these are used. We discussed sieving flour and beating the batter to get air into the mixture. Then we used our new electric pan to cook our pancakes. We ate them plain or with a little jam. We discussed the importance of brushing our teeth later.
They actually tasted very good! Well done P2/3!
