Edgerley

Dear Parents,

We love to cook in the Edgerley Room. Today we made some vanilla and then chocolate biscuit dough and turned them into moon biscuits! We shared some information about the different phases of the moon.

Knox shared “Sometimes a moon doesn’t come out at night.”

Domenic said “Sometimes we just see a snip of the moon!”

Alexander told us that “a full moon makes it very light”

We talked about a full moon, a slither and a half moon.

Then we got ready to cook…

The children loved seeing the whole process and an interesting discussion took place..

Max handed the recipe to Mrs Cooper and said “Here’s your map!”

Alexander exclaimed “That’s not a map, it’s a recipe!”

We went on to discuss what the purpose of a recipe is. As a class we decided that it tells us what to do and how to do it!

Together we read the recipe and talked about the ingredients.

Nathan added “The numbers tell you how much to put in”

Then we measured it all out, with different children adding different ingredients.

Sebastian told us that “the numbers tell us that there are steps to do”

The children all helped to mix the dough together.

Then we rolled out the dough and made the chocolate biscuits. By rolling out the vanilla dough, we cut shapes of the moon to pop on top.

Miss Sue helped us cook our biscuits. Before we ate them we put them in order, to show how the moon changes through each month.

Then it was time to eat them!

Cooking is always such a rich and meaningful learning experience in our room!

Kind Regards,

Emma, Pip, Ty and Rosalie
