In 3YO Nursery this week we have continued our learning about Spring through listening to and learning about the Easter story and how Christians celebrate Easter. We have thought about how new life is represented through this story, and where we might see new life at this time of year. The children were eager to remind us of the baby piglets and lambs we saw at the farm! We learnt that the chocolate eggs given at Easter also symbolises new life and linked this to baking our very own, very delicious chocolate nest buns.

We began by thinking about what we would need to make our buns and Milo suggested making a list. The children were all very eager to have a go at writing down a list of ingredients that we might need….

After creating our lists, we washed our hands before gathering together the ingredients. The children’s early reading skills were developed as we followed some pictorial instructions for how to make the buns. As we baked, we learnt more new vocabulary such a break, melt, stir and scoop. The children can’t wait to bring home their special treat later this week!

Do you have plans for any special Easter baking or cooking? Can your child listen and follow some simple instructions for how to make something yummy? Please do share photographs of your creations.
