A great 21 page resource for an independent baking activity used in Reception (though could be used with children of other ages, particularly Year 1 or children with SEND).

I modelled how to make the pies to my class, then put them in small, mixed ability groups to make the pies. I did not help them at all unless they were really stuck and came to ask for help (except with the oven!) They knew that they had to help each other instead. It was amazing how well they did! The children demonstrated fantastic mathematical language, teamwork, communication and problem solving skills. I do an independent baking tasks every so often as an assessment method. It’s a great activity to observe for assessment purposes.

This pack includes:
• Recipe slides which can be used on the board to demonstrate to the children what they need to do, then be printed to create a recipe book. Recipe is written as simply as possible (higher ability Reception children should be able to read most of it) and represented in pictures too. All measurements are in scoops or spoonfuls so the children can measure out themselves.
• Printable ‘design a mince pie’ writing/ drawing/ labelling sheet
• Teacher tips and planning (including scoop sizes etc. so you can resource the activity so the recipe works!)
