Have you ever wondered how butter is made? Reception children can tell you!
Mr Hornsey was treated to an absolute feast yesterday after he was invited to Reception to watch them add the finishing touches to their lessons on a class book they'd been recently reading.
Using the story of the Little Red Hen, the children had listened very carefully and worked really hard to make their own bread rolls which were absolutely magnificent. However today, their final job was to make the butter to spread on their rolls.
Each class were taught how butter was made and then each child got a chance to turn cream into butter by doing lots of vigorous shaking to separate the butter from the buttermilk.
The children then spread their butte onto the rolls and tasted their finished products. Mr Hornsey tasted bread rolls and butter from each of the three classes just to be fair!!!!!!
A wonderfully engaging experience for the children and very typical of how EYFS staff weave together different high level learning opportunities simply from storybooks.
