Yesterday, we listened to the story of the Little Red Hen. After we discussed how the Little Red Hen made the bread talking about each stage of the process. We then had a go at following a recipe and weighing out the ingredients to make our own bread.
In the afternoon, we discussed where we think butter comes from, some children suggested milk and some said cream. I showed the children a pot of cream and asked them if they thought we would be able to turn the cream into butter ourselves. We made our predictions and then had a go. First, we poured the cream into some jars and then we had to shake until we could see the cream getting thicker. This was very tiring but the children displayed excellent teamwork sharing the jars around. Eventually, the cream turned solid into butter and we enjoyed the butter on our bread rolls.

This afternoon we had our story workshop from Shropshire based storyteller Sally Tonge and what a fantastic afternoon we had! Sally told the children some stories and rhymes based on traditional tales to reinforce our learning from before half term. She told the story of the Three Little Pigs using her amazing props and through song using her guitar and she had the children hooked from start to finish!
We also all joined together with Snow Leopards at the end to take part in a big sing where we sang the song: The Wheels on the Bus, however our bus was no ordinary bus as we had unicorns, princesses and ghosts on it and we had to think of noises and actions to represent these characters. Such great imagination and creativity this afternoon from all of Snow Leopards and Pandas – well done everyone!
