with a little bit of technology thrown into the mix!!!!
Children’s baking was back on the menu for Cheeky Monkeys and Ellison rose to the room’s challenge with her children…
Having opportunities to bake and create helps our children understand the importance of hygiene and washing hands before they touch any food, they realise the importance of doing kind things for others (as they were talking constantly, and very excitedly, about how they were making these for all their friends throughout nursery) and there are numerous organic opportunities to explore mathematical concepts as weighing and pouring are explored and quantities are discussed, as well as the noticing the scientific changes that they observe occurring to the mixture as it magically morphs into cakes and bakes!
This time though, Ellison also brought in her stand mixer, so she could add some technology skills into the mix and so they could all have a little more independence with the mixing process… it was a little bit noisy, but they were all certainly very curious and the end product was very delicious!!!
Exciting measuring and mixing ways leads to yummy baking days spent lovingly creating here at Jollies xxxx
