EYFS, Maths, Science

Class 1 and 2 demonstrate their culinary skills by baking the most delicious treats for all their family to enjoy.

With a little help from Mum or Dad, the children weighed, kneaded, mixed, melted, iced, glazed, and decorated to their hearts content.

They made cup cakes, large chocolate cakes, fruit cakes, mug cakes, pies, tarts, biscuits, cheesecakes, swiss rolls, millionaires shortbread, gingerbread men, cheese scones, fruit scones, Finnish cinnamon buns and even made their own pasta and filled it with a variety of tasty fillings.

These indulgent tasty delights were a massive hit with the children’s families but they had to get in there quickly, they didn’t last long.

“I made them cakes for mummy’s birthday, I made patterns with chocolate buttons and smarties. It’s yummy”- Koby
