Problem solving while baking


This morning some of the children asked Sandra if they could do some baking so they set to finding the ingredients to make pancakes. 
Together they strived for accuracy as they measured the ingredients and showed each other how to crack open the eggs to mix in.We work together for maximum impact , Ka mahi ngātahi mo te tukinga nui tonu.

As the pancakes began cooking Sandra asked the children how they would know if the pancakes were ready to flip, one shared "The timer will beep" then another jumped up and grabbed the egg timer to see if it was ready when the sand had run out.  The children managed their impulsivity and keep their hands away from the pan as they waited patiently the timer ran out and it had to be turned over again before the pancakes were ready. 

The children were all very excited to figure out  that it takes two times for the timer to run through before the pancakes were ready.
