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 playLearning 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.
