Making morning tea












Last Thursday morning I had lots of children wanting to help me with preparing morning tea, so into the art-room we went to make banana muffins. Morning tea was a bit late but this didn't matter as the children had the opportunity to engage in a valuable learning experience. Baking integrates a range of concepts. These include maths concepts such as numeracy, measurement, and volume; science concepts such as chemistry and physics. We talked about how substances change texture and shape when different ingredients are added and also how temperature effects the finished product. The children enjoyed having input into preparing our kai and sharing this with the rest of the KIDSPACE whanau.
