Showing off our baking!
Here at ABC Mayfield we support children to develop and enhance their self help skills. To extend on this area of the children's learning we have been setting up baking/cooking experiences a couple of times a week for the children to learn about preparing food. So far the children have been involved in making savoury muffins, spaghetti pizza, savoury toasties and vegetable soup. The children know that they have to wash their hands before sitting down to prepare the food. Depending on the type of experience we are doing the children will have different jobs they can do. These jobs include cutting, measuring, pouring, grating and stirring. The children are also very good at helping each other out. If they can see that one of their friends is having trouble they will show them how to do it. Through this experience the children are being actively involved in food preparation and learning about the steps and different process used to create different dishes.
