As part of our writing lesson we created recipes for making shortbread. This also linked nicely with our ‘Wee Tour of Scotland’ topic. On Wednesday the children in P3 were very lucky to get to make shortbread with Mrs Wood.
We started off by talking about the equipment we would need and checking we had it all, then we did the same for the ingredients. The pupils were very focused and engaged in the discussion. Mrs Wood picked 3 helpers to help her make the shortbread and the other children had the job of supporting these children to ensure they did everything correctly. We had to use our communication skills, our numeracy skills for adding and taking away as well as telling the time for the cooking time. We also used our maths skills for measuring out the ingredients.
After the shortbread had been made and was put in the oven, Mrs Wood selected some more helpers to help her clean and tidy up. Afterwards, once we had taken the shortbread out and left it to cool, we all enjoyed eating a bit!
Here are some comments from the class:
Kayleigh says “It was fun!”
Olivia said “If you want to make shortbread you use butter, sugar and flour.”
Ryley said the dough was “Really sticky!”
“I washed the dishes and then cleaned all the bubbles out” said Kullyn
“When I was tidying up it was very sticky!” commented Summer
The children gave the shortbread a big thumbs up!!!!!
