Pancake day

Today we had great fun in finding out about pancake day. We learnt that it was also called Shrove Tuesday, that it always happens on a Tuesday and that it is the day before Lent begins. This led onto when Lent finishes and we had some excited children who started thinking about Easter. Sorry about that!!! I did emphasise that it's not for a long time yet!
We got together in groups with children from Sycamore and Hazel classes and began making our pancake mixture this morning.












We put the mixture in the fridge and then saved it to cook with later.

Mrs Harrison, our head chef, cooked pancakes for all the children ( and grown ups too!).

















And of course, we had pancake races!! This fits it with our maths focus on positional language this week. We awarded medals for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places!!

  1. Ooh, that looks like great fun Cherry Class! Making pancakes, eating pancakes and pancake races! Fabtastic! :-)

    Mrs Harrison brought one into the PPA room and it smelt delicious. You made a great batter for her to cook!
