Cooking a Bday Cake.!!!

We had made a special cake for Noahs Bday. All the kids were
very excited to join and start this interesting fun. Noah
Fervently sat down and waited for his turn to add ingredients and help Lee to
mixture plain Flour, coco powder, sugar and water together. He was
scrutinizing everyone what they are doing.. He was having fun to stir the
entire constituent. All the kids explored their skill by making dough for cake.
He saw that his friend Tennyson started to eat that dough. He thought..its
ok...why not me..lets try..Afterwards he also started to eat that dough from
that container & from the table. Is it Yummy........!!!
Yummy...... .........in my Tummy.....................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Analysis of Learning:
This experience was amazing for the children to learn about
group
alliance and as a sensory play bustle. Noah develops his fine motor skills to
squeeze the dough by using his fingers and palms and also to practice the
skill of rolling the dough. He felt various textures during this process. Noah is
learning about the process of cooking and how textures change when
ingredients are mixed together. Moreover, he learns how to contribute to

group experience and all about sharing and turn taking. Noah was involved in
this cooking with curiosity.

Learning Outcome:
Learning Outcome 1:
He broadens his understanding of the world in which he lives.
He explores his identity through dramatic play
Learning Outcome 4:
He develops dispositions for learning such as curiosity, cooperation,
confidence, creativity, commitment, enthusiasm, persistence,
imagination and reflexivity.

What next?
Continue encouraging Noahs communal contribution with other children
through more cooking, group painting and small group play spaces and also
indoor & outdoor fun.
