We Are Scientists

28th February 2024Amy Wood-Samways

Today we tasted our gingerbread men that we baked yesterday. We spoke about how the state of the gingerbread changed from; being ingredients, to crumb like, to a dough, to going hard in the oven. We used our senses to explore how the cooked gingerbread felt, looked, smelt and tasted. We went on to make predications about what would happen if we was to put our gingerbread man in water. We got some excellent answers such as; go soft and change colour. We then used our senses again to explore the wet gingerbread man, and see if our predications were correct.

Reading for Pleasure

27th February 2024Mrs Lewis

In Crew this morning, children enjoyed sharing one of their favourite books while having a biscuit. We discussed why reading is so important and why we should read as often as we can. It was great to see children reading for pleasure and lovely to find out their reasons for choosing their book.

Gingerbread Man baking

27th February 2024Mrs Price

We had 2 expert bakers to visit us to teach us how to make Gingerbread men. We learnt new words and remembered ingredients and equipment. We then had a go at baking some. We weighed the ingredients, rubbed the butter into the flour, mixed in the other ingredients and made the dough. We rolled and cut and baked. Finally, we ate them. They were delicious!

Expert Baker

27th February 2024Amy Wood-Samways

Yesterday we had nana Bubb and grandma Sherene in as expert bakers, to show us how to bake gingerbread. They taught us lots of clever baking tips and explained the process of measuring the ingredients to us and we discussed how the ingredients changed state. We practised kneading the dough ready for making our own.

After watching nana Bubb and grandma Sherene we had a go at baking our own gingerbread men, following a recipe. We spoke about the measurements we needed and the importance of washing our hands first. We practised using our mathematical language, such as first and then, and used our senses to feel/smell/touch the ingredients.
