On Tuesday afternoon the children in Hedgehog Class were learning all about Shrove Tuesday. We learnt about the period of Lent and how the four countries in the United Kingdon traditionally celebrated Pancake Day in different ways. We had great fun making some pancakes. We learnt to weigh and measure the ingredients as well as learning how to safely use a hob…
We also really enjoyed eating them!
The Reception children then enjoyed incorporating Shrove Tuesday into their child initiated play. They timed each other using sand timers to see how many times they could flip a pancake in a minute, had pancake races and even made their own “pancakes” in the mud kitchen.
