For this weeks cooking session, (as you probably know by now!) we made 'Mother's Day buns' . We decorated two buns each, with baby pink icing, edible flowers and sprinkles! They looked rather yummy- and lots of us hoped that our Mummy's would share them with us.
P.s - You may wish to look in your child's book-bag for something else they have made you (if they haven't already given it to you!) Happy Mother's Day for Sunday! This afternoon, as part of our topic of 'Animals' we had a visit from Jan, who volunteers for the Blue Cross.
Jan spoke to us about how we look after our Pets and other animals. Jan brought a pet carry-case in with her which was jam-packed with many things we need for looking after our pets, from dog and cat food, to flea treatments and a toothbrush and toothpaste for dogs and cats! Many of us had a turn at reaching into the carry-case and pulling an item out and then guessing what it was or what the item was used for. Jan also talked to us about dog-safety and what we need to do if a dog we don't know runs up to us- we learnt that we should stand up straight with our arms folded and fingers tucked in, and then look away and ignore the dog - we all had a go at this. Jan then taught us what we should do if we are knocked over by a dog - we learnt that we need to curl up on our knees with our head tucked in - 'like a rock'- we all had a go at this too! The last thing Jan talked to us about was how to approach an unfamiliar dog. She told us that we MUST ALWAYS ASK THE OWNER first before touching the dog, and if the owner is not with the dog (e.g. outside a shop) to just leave the dog alone and walk away. Jan also told us that we should also let the dog sniff our hand first before stroking it. We all had an interesting and fun afternoon and learnt lots of new things - even the adults in the classroom did too! A big THANK YOU to Jan for coming to visit us! Today, we were all treated to some great music from our in house, and self- named band... 'The Noisy Band'. The band spent quite a while 'rehearsing' in the cloakroom and then made invitations for people to come and watch their concert. Invitations were even delivered to Mrs Ross, Mrs Matthews and Mrs Lawrence.to come and watch. So once we had all tidied up, the invited adults came down and the rest of the class got to hear some fantastic music....including a 1,2, a 1,2,3,4 count in!...well done 'The Noisy Band'....next stop...'V festival'.
This morning, the children and staff in Early years had a great time playing in the snow in our Reception garden. Snowballs were thrown, Snowmen were made, and LOTS of fun was had by all!
Even Mrs Ross came and joined in the fun (and was bombarded with snowballs!) After a good 45 minutes in the snow, we all came in to have some snack and warm up! As part of our 'Chinese New Year' week, today we made 'Chinese red envelopes'.
During Chinese New Year it is tradition for children to be given red envelopes (or Hongbao) containing money, from their parents, grandparents and other relatives. Within the Chinese culture, the colour red symbolises energy, happiness and good luck, and sending red envelopes is a way to send good wishes and luck. Take a look at some of us making our red envelopes.... As mentioned in an earlier post, pancake day fell on the Tuesday of half term this year....so we decided to celebrate it with the children during this week's cooking session.
Most of the children tried a pancake, and could choose to have a range of different toppings on them, including lemon and sugar, chocolate spread, syrup, and strawberry or chocolate sauce. .....Some of us who chose chocolate spread appeared to end up with more around our mouths than on the pancake,,,,mentioning no names... (Macie)! :) This morning during snack time, the Activity area turned into our very own Chinese restaurant!
Mrs Rushbrooke kindly cooked us some noodles, some prawn toast, some spring rolls and some sweet and sour wontons. We also tried some warm prawn crackers. Nearly all of us tried some of the Chinese food and agreed it was all very yummy. Mr Barnard even showed us how Chinese people eat their noodles- with chopsticks! Thank you to our super chefs/waiters- Mrs Rushbrooke and Mr Barnard! Have a look at us trying some of the Chinese food.... As Valentines Day falls during Half term this year, we decided to incorporate the day within this weeks cooking. We made 'Jam Tarts' or rather 'Jam Hearts'. We had to use our big muscles to roll out the dough and then we cut out some 'pastry cases' using the cutters. Mrs Rushbrooke had to be careful getting them out of the oven as the jam was very hot!! As Pancake day and Chinese New Year also fall in Half Term week, we hope to celebrate both of these during the first week back, We hope to taste some different Chinese foods and of course make Pancakes! |
