Here at Uxbridge, we love to do baking. It is lots of fun, and there is delicious food to eat at the end. Our friend Rylee suggested that we could make some chocolate cupcakes. After washing our hands, we sat around the table with our friends, and everybody got to take turns doing different parts of the process. There is a lot of learning involved in the process. This includes math and science learning as we pour, weigh and measure, make predictions about what might happen, and observe chemical reactions and changes of state. Technology learning as we use equipment and follow a process to produce a product. Lots of social learning as we encourage sharing and turn-taking, following instructions, and communicating with others. Baking also gives us a chance to learn about handling food safely (for example, always washing our hands) and talking about the different ingredients we use. We ate them at lunchtime. Delicious! Our friend Santiago’s family brought us the ingredients for making hot chocolate too. Nothing beats hot cocoa on a cold winter’s day.
