Baking at Woolston - Wind in the Willows Childcare

At Woolston we have been enjoying baking gingerbread people. We all helped to get the ingredients before weighing them out together, this meant we had to use our maths skills and do lots of numbers and counting. We used our physical and fine motor skills to pour and select the ingredients and we had to do this carefully so not to spill it. Once we had all the ingredients in the big mixing bowl we could then start to mix the mixtures together. We each got a piece to roll out all by ourselves using the rolling pins taking turns and sharing with our friends. One we had done this we learnt about how it would cook, where it needs to be cooked and how long it would take. Once they had cooled we each had a bowl with some icing sugar and chose what colour we wanted to make our gingerbread. We had lots of fun making these and learnt lots of new skills. They even tasted yummy!!
