At mat time we re-read the story and began talking and dramatising the steps in the story where it told us how to make the bread. Following on from this, some of our older tamariki had a go at writing out some of the ingredients we would need for bread shopping list. Once the items were bought, it was bread making time!
The science of cooking is a way to practise questioning, hypothesising, predictions, measuring ingredients, observing changes through reactions and in this case the conclusion was enjoying delicious bread. Luckily, we didn't find 4 million wasps invading our town like they did in the story!
Connecting to stories is one way to create a deeper meaning. Through kÅrero's had after reading the story The Giant Jam Sandwich, children talked about how they ate bread as toast at breakfast time, what spreads they like, how the spreads were made and how bread becomes bread! These questions provided the perfect opportunity to extend our tamariki's content knowledge around baking bread and the science behind it! So we got thinking...How could we make our own bread at Uxbridge and would it be as big as the Giant Jam Sandwich?!
