Pancake Day In Nursery 2022

Lesson: Understanding the World

Class: Nursery Year: 2021 - 2022

We had a fantastic time at nursery learning about Pancake Day. We talked to the children about Pancake Day or Shrove Tuesday. It is very important that our children begin to learn about how different people practice their religion and celebrate their culture.

At the snack table  we had a go at pancake tossing (which was quite tricky) and then we put them on a plate and ate them with some sugar or lemon juice. Yum! We talked about how they tasted introducing some new words like 'tangy' and 'sharp’ and using some descriptive words like 'sticky', 'yum' and 'nice'

There were lots of other pancake activities in nursery too and we read and watched pancake stories as well. Outside the children even had a pancake race!

Some of our children listened to a special Pancake Day song and even a pancake day rap as well.

We’ve asked the children to share their experiences of Pancake Day at home.
