π°πββοΈ Thursday is Cookery Day at our Brondesbury Park nursery!
In keeping with this month's theme, 'All About Me', the children have been exploring the similarities and differences that make us all unique. Today, they made cupcakes and gingerbread men in different colours to represent different skin tones.
Everyone got involved in weighing, measuring, mixing, stirring, pouring and counting before spooning the cupcake mixture into cases and rolling out the dough for their gingerbread men.
When one child noticed that the gingerbread man was "like the story", it sparked lots of excitement and led to us reading The Gingerbread Man. But then... disaster struck! π±
During lunch, we discovered that one of the gingerbread men had escaped from the oven! The children were very concerned, with one suggesting, "We need to call 999!" π Another wondered if he had run all the way home!
And the adventure isn't over yet... π The escaped gingerbread man has secretly gone home with one of our children. We can't wait to see where he is discovered and the lucky child's reaction when they find him! πββοΈπͺ
A fun-filled day of cookery, storytelling, imagination and learning, with lots of opportunities to develop maths, language, literacy, social skills and so much more! β€οΈ
