Then it was time for snack and some play with friends.

Bread making
Some of the children in Reception made bread today. For our visually impaired pupil this provided a brilliant opportunity for some hands-on learning with friends.
She really enjoyed getting stuck in, sieving and mixing. Importantly this was amongst friends. Children learn so much more effectively when with their friends.
Eventually after lots of kneading and talk, a set of half a dozen rolls were rolled and shaped and ready to be left to rise.
Once the dough had risen, it was time for baking. Which gave the children time to retell the story of The Little Red Hen. For our VI pupil this was supported with figures from the story.
But rather than retell on her own, our pupil then joined with the rest of the children to act out the story script.
Then we carefully checked on our baking.
Mmmmm, smells lovely!
