This resource contains a selection of engaging activities for Shrove Tuesday. The interactive quiz consists of a PowerPoint grid where 16 tiles are flipped one by one to reveal a pancake picture. To accompany it is a maths/general knowledge quiz. The answer to each question is a number between 1 and 16. Give out the quiz sheets and let the class work on them for a short time. Pupils then put their hands up to offer answers and come up to interactive board to flip the corresponding tile.
The reading text is a recipe for pancakes. This would be a great practical activity in the morning, with the opportunity to eat pancakes at break!
The accompanying comprehension questions, worth 20 marks, are accompanied by a mark scheme.
For English, there is a further activity - a pancake poem by Christina Rossetti, which can be exploited for teaching/revising imperative verbs. A follow up task could be to find out something about the poet.
The maths task consists of five word problems based on the recipe. Some are quite challenging (eg involving scaling the original recipe).
