Fire Pit Vegetable Pizza

After reading ‘Olivers Vegetables’ we discussed what we could make if we had lots of fresh vegetables. We are very lucky to have such a fabulous orchard so we already knew where some of the vegetables came from just like in Olivers grandpa’s garden. We decided on vegetable pizza and vegetable (carrot) soup. Please see floor book in nursery for more comments.
Instead of buying pizzas we put our fire pit to good use. After preparing selecting our toppings we used the heat from the flames to melt the cheese toppings. Margaret and Miss Kelly used our safety fire booklet and explained to us how to keep ourselves and each other safe by being responsible around the fire.
We each took turns carefully placing our pizza on the grill and watched closely to see the cheese begin to melt.
At Bathgate Early Years Centre we promote experiences with a risk benefit, ’embrace risk in a positive sense rather than limiting valuable experience’
All activities are risk assessed prior to being carried out, a task we complete alongside the children. We believe this is a valuable lesson for every child as this provides the early skills and abilities for a child to risk asses their own play and challenges throughout life.
Have any ideas of what else we could cook on our fire pit? Please comment below or tweet any suggestion to @wlbeyc
