Pancake recipe book EYFS KS1

(0)
This 14 page book is specially made so that young children or emerging readers can read, access and interpret the recipe as independently as possible. It uses simple instructions and measurements in ‘cups’ so that children can make the pancake mixture independently and really lead on their learning without using scales. Also included are notes of how to use this resource This resource is suitable for making pancakes on a hob and also has a FOREST SCHOOL alternative where recipe can be followed for pancakes cooked on a campfire. For a teacher, independent activities like this are AMAZING to just sit back and watch (until the cooking part!). I model then put kids in a small mixed ability group and just watch and see how they get on. Its so interesting and I can really see who has which skills and how they interact in a group. Great for evidence in pretty much every area of the EYFS. Lots of opportunities within an activity using this book for maths and literacy skill development. Perfect for a non-fiction text suitable and accessible to early readers. Could be used for guided reading. Could be used for home learning as children can access on a screen without printing. EYFS, Nursery, Reception, KS1, SEN Please note this is the same resource as: ‘Campfire pancakes recipe book Forest School Outdoor Learning‘ For a free ‘design a pancake’ sheet to accompany this resource please see: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/design-a-pancake-sheet-pancake-day-12481053

A presentation introducing ‘igh’ (Phase 3). This can be used for whole group teaching. This includes starter recap activity where children read Tricky Words to gain stars.

There are then 2 activities for the children to complete: a naughts and crosses reading game which can be done as a whole group or in pairs, then a writing activity with self assessment opportunity. I used with Reception but could be used with any age group learning or recapping the ‘igh’ sound in phonics. Could easily be used for remote learning too.
