We have been learning about the Hindu festival of Holi.
During this festival, people throw paint over each other. The children wanted to do this too, but we agreed to splatter paint on big pieces of paper in the playground.
Sorry there are no photos, but while doing this, the wind started to blow wildly -much to the children’s amusement! Chaos entailed!
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.
