On Monday 19th May Reception carried out a design and technology activity by preparing and baking some chocolate chip cookies. In literacy, our focus text is ‘Bee: Nature’s Tiny Miracle’ and we have been learning all about bees linking to World Bee Day on the 20th May. On Tuesday 20th May we had a parent activity with our grown-ups to decorate our cookies! (Please see additional activity description for 20.05.2025 for the decorating).
We used fine motor skills to carefully measure out the ingredients using spoons and cups. We decoded the instructions together before taking it in turns to measure out the ingredients. We had to remember and count how many cups we had put into the mixing bowl and to not lose count!
We continued using fine motor skills when moulding the cookie dough into balls. We had to move the cookie dough ball from hand to hand very quickly to form the ball and avoid it sticking to our hands!
