Bicicletta Cook Off

Writers’ Festival

Special Writers’ Workshop sessions

We are having a cook-off in Bicicletta! This morning we split into our home groups, each with the same list of ingredients:

· self-raising flour

· cocoa

· salt

· bananas

· eggs

· butter

· icing sugar

· milk

Then we:

- revised what we already knew about procedural texts

- brainstormed options for what we could cook with these ingredients

- voted on which option to cook (democracy!)

- made a list of verbs which we might need

- wrote our recipes

Whilst writing our recipes, we did lots of maths:

       · estimating

       · ordinal numbers

       · halves and quarters

       · ways of measuring quantities, eg cups, grams, spoons

We will cook and review our recipes tomorrow.
