PANCAKE DAY !

Think the weather really made a difference this week, the little ones at the 2-3 group really enjoyed being outside in the sunshine.

Great time was had making pancakes (with 2-3 year group) on Monday.

All the children helped to make pancake batter and had  had a mix and a whisk 

We tried them at snack but most were not keen !! 
It was lovely to see 2 children using story sacks working together to tell their friends the story

On Tuesday at Towerview playschool  - the children wrote their recipes and then made the mixture - we weighed and measured the ingredients. Then while staff cooked and tossed the pancakes, the children had small cold pancakes for use in the frying pans in the home role play area - there were allot of laughs as they tossed their own pancakes!

 

As part of our topic on food and to continue the watching the drive being put in at one of the staff houses - the children and staff walked to house. Here we had a look at the shrub clearance before the digger comes to clear the mud.

We then had a look at the back garden - learnt how to be respectful in some one else's house - and had a look in the fridge - where there were 'krispie cakes' - which were enjoyed sitting in the sunshine outside.
 

We tried to make bubble mixture on Wednesday which was a complete disaster, one child even commented on how rubbish it was! We will try again !

Forest school - Children had a fab time at making straw creatures - out of wool, straw and found sticks. We found wood lice, butterflies, spiders and made nests for them 

 

It was lovely to see them all taking part in the food tasting on Monday and the expressions on their faces to the different flavours and encouraging them to even try- just a taste !
