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. There are two options for cooking the pancakes either on a camp fire or on a hob- simply print the relevant pages. Perfect for Pancake Day outdoor learning, this resource can be followed to cook pancakes on the camp fire. Also included are notes of how to use this resource 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.
