To celebrate Shrove Tuesday, children in EYFS made and explored the ingredients and cooking process for pancakes; flour, milk and egg. They learned lots of new vocabulary such as ‘whisk’, ‘frying pan’, ‘cooker’, ‘batter’ ‘liquid’ and ‘bowl’. Each child had a turn mixing the pancake batter with the whisk and investigated the changes when different ingredients were added. They then cooked the pancakes in a frying pan estimating the time it would take. They really enjoyed the experience and ate the pancakes with jam and a squeeze of lemon.
