Our Reception classes had a fantastic afternoon celebrating Shrove Tuesday with some exciting pancake-making activities!

I love pancakes they’re yummy yum yum – Zuri

I love pancakes, I like syrup on mine – Noah

We began by discussing how to make pancakes, identifying the ingredients we needed, and carefully writing our own step-by-step instructions for making them.

Next, we followed our instructions, measuring out the ingredients and carefully mixing them to create the perfect pancake batter.

Flipping the pancakes was so much fun – Jackson

Once the pancakes were cooked, we moved on to the best part – tasting and enjoying our delicious creations! We enjoyed them with lemon and sugar, and they tasted amazing.

We also had a go at tossing the pancakes, which was great fun! Some of us managed a perfect flip, while others ended up with a few giggles along the way. We used the slightly well done pancake as the one to have a go at flipping!

We need butter and eggs and flour and milk to make the pancakes – Shea

As part of our learning, we discovered that Shrove Tuesday is the day before Lent begins, and people traditionally eat pancakes to use up ingredients like eggs, milk, and flour before fasting.

They were yummy – Darcie

It was a wonderful afternoon full of learning, laughter and of course, tasty pancakes!
