Did you know our Nursery children get to use a real cookery room?
This week’s cooking session was all about pizza-making 🍕 Mrs Holliday prepped the dough earlier in the day, giving it plenty of time to rise – and the children were absolutely delighted when they saw just how big, soft and bouncy it had become!
Everyone had a go at rolling out their own dough, carefully adding extra flour when needed, before choosing two different-sized teddy cutters to create their shapes. Working together, the children took turns to spread the tomato purée and sprinkle on the cheese, showing fantastic teamwork, turn-taking and fine motor skills along the way.
The end result? Some very proud little chefs… and some extremely delicious-looking pizzas 🤤
