Willow class celebrated pancake day one day early so that we could use our maths measuring skills to cook our own pancakes in the food etc kitchen!
Before we got our recipes and started cooking, we looked at the history of pancake day and the religious link to lent, learning that it is a very old tradition. We then discussed what we needed to do in the kitchen to keep ourselves safe and healthy, following good hygiene and safety rules.
The children did great turn-taking, sharing equipment and practiced their measurement skills, measuring ingredients in grams and millilitres. Everyone followed their recipes to make pancakes and some children added cocoa powder to make a chocolate pancake. We then added toppings and sat down to eat our pancakes together, before washing up and wiping the surfaces cleaning up after ourselves.
Great work Willow class!
