2M's Blog of all that's happening in our classroom.
This blog was started by the Gems of 2008. We, the 2011 Gems are proud to continue on the conversation.
You can read, watch and listen as we share our learning journey - a journey where we 'learn to blog' and 'blog to learn'.
Please visit regularly to see what's new and join in the conversation - we'd love for you to be part of our learning.
Last Tuesday was SHROVE TUESDAY. It is also known as PANCAKE TUESDAY.
Shrove Tuesday is the last day before LENT. There were many foods that the early Christians didn't eat during Lent - foods like meat and fish, eggs, and milk, flour and butter. Instead of wasting food, families would have a feast on the Shrove Tuesday, and use up all the foods that wouldn't last the forty days of Lent.
We decided to made pancakes - the EASY way.
All you need is: a frypan, a spatula, Pancake Shake mix, water, cooking oil or spray and your favourite topping, which for us was Mrs Knee's maple syrup.
We've learnt that maple syrup has been something that has connected the 'Gems' to Mrs Knee for the last two years and we agree with the 2008 and 2009 Gems - it's the BEST maple syrup ever!
Today was SHROVE TUESDAY. It is also known as PANCAKE TUESDAY.
Shrove Tuesday is the last day before LENT. In earlier days there were many foods that Christians would not eat during Lent like meat and fish, eggs, and milk, flour and butter. So that no food was wasted, families would have a feast on the Shrove Tuesday, and eat up all the foods that wouldn't last the forty days of Lent without going off.
To celebrate SHROVE TUESDAY, we all made pancakes - the EASY way. This is what we needed: EQUIPMENT-
a frypan
measuring jug
slide
INGREDIENTS -
Pancake Shake
1 3/4 cups water
cooking spray
jam, maple syrup or your favourite topping
Do you know what steps we took to make the pancakes? Just watch the slideshow below. Then check out the slideshow made by Mrs Cassidy's class in Canada. They made panckes too!
