Last week Exploring Elephants thought they’d put their culinary skills to the test as they had loved playing in the role-play kitchen so much. They had all been obsessed with looking through the different recipe books in there and this had then progressed onto them creating buns in the play dough with Nat-Nat and so Jade thought she’d then extend this interest even further….
The room ended up making some very yummy rocky road; following a real-life recipe! They were all so excited, interested and enthusiastic as they did some excellent counting and measuring and they organically used the mathematical vocabulary associated with adding more and measuring.
Role-play brought baking to life for our children and baking brought mathematical concepts into our children’s domain in a very real way! We’ve simply got it all going on here at Jollies
Where will our children’s interests take us to next we wonder?! We can’t wait to see…. xxx
