Bread Week

This week the children have enjoyed working with bread. The week started with the children trying and evaluating a range of breads. They thought about the appearance, texture and taste of each bread and were able to use these criteria to make a decision about which their favourite was. Later in the week, the children planned their own bread product and gave me a shopping list of ingredients that they would need. They also designed packaging for their product and came up with their own brands and logos.

On Wednesday, the classroom was very noisy and messy as the children enjoyed making their bread! The children worked well in their house teams to follow a recipe and enjoyed using weighing scales and having a go at mixing and kneading. They were so excited and assured me that bread with chocolate, cheese, chives and garlic would be tasty! To my surprise, they loved the weird flavours! Well done to all of the children who showed me how creative they could be and how well they could work in a team.

Have a look at our photos and I hope you enjoyed the interesting products that I'm sure you were asked to try!
