Food, glorious food!

For the last half term the foundation stage have been learning about food.

In Mckee class we have investigated, tasted, made, cooked, taken apart and thoroughly enjoyed learning within this topic. Amongst others things the class asked to learn more about sweet corn and wanted to eat mashed potato. This we did. They wanted to eat cake and so we looked at few celebrations and then held one of our own!

On Wednesday we held an afternoon tea party. The children made their own sandwiches, spreading the filling and choosing a shape into which to cut them, (no they were not cucumber), they decorated a cake and asked to have more popped corn. We also added some fruit  to balance everything up.

After an afternoon of dancing, singing and playing games the children enjoyed their plate of food.

We have managed to learn about all the foods the children requested, when we planned with them, at the beginning of term. The only one we have not covered is ice cream.....watch this space.
