Making bread in Year 2!

09 Nov Making bread in Year 2!

The children in Year 2 are very excited about their topic Bright Lights, Big City.  They have had the opportunity to learn about the Great Fire of London.  They began by finding out about the fire and then acting out the events as a class.  The children really enjoyed thinking about ways to be creative and re-enact how the fire spread around London.  During the Engage Stage of the topic the children became bakers, just like Thomas Farriner,  who worked at the bakery in Pudding Lane where the Great Fire of London started.  In preparation for  making bread, children learned to plait playdough, so that they could choose to plait their bread dough when the time came.  Many children used the recipe to make bread at home with their families.
