As part of our learning about Lent, our Forest school groups made pancakes outside. Many children talked about the pancakes they had made at home during half term, and we discussed the different ways of making them and the different toppings!

Our first job was to think about where our new logs came from. The children walked to St John’s Church last year when they were in Reception so we recalled the visit and thought about how sad it is that the 300 year old beech tree had fallen down and how many animals had lost their home. However, we have new seats now, and they are so comfortable compared to our other ones!

We followed this pancake recipe to make the pancakes

The first job was to make the batter by adding the ingredients, milk, flour and an egg.

Then we whisked the batter with a whisk

Then we melted a knob of butter in the frying pan

Then we poured in the batter

We enjoyed watching Mrs Whittaker toss the pancake. Archie had a go too!

Now it’s time to squeeze some lemon juice and sprinkle the sugar. Delicious!
