Today’s focus: Baking

Today, we finished our learning on our focus text, 'The Gingerbread Man', by making our very own gingerbread men! This incorporated lots of cross-curricular learning. We developed our communication and language skills by using descriptive language to talk about different textures, tools and ingredients. We practised our physical skills through stirring, pouring and kneading, as well as developing important skills such as taking turns and sharing. As we followed the recipe, we counted the cups and teaspoons as we added each ingredient and some of us also identified the numbers in the recipe. Once our gingerbread men were ready, we got creative by choosing our own toppings!

Discuss at home: 

What does it feel/smell/taste like? 

I wonder what will happen when we add the water?

How many scoops of flour do we need?

Can you count the buttons as you add them?
