Provocations...
The team have been setting up open ended activities which encourage thinking, problem solving creativity, explanations.... and talking.....
The yellow hoop was placed on the fence out of reach before the children went outside to play. some of the children noticed the hoop and began to speculate about how it got there....They then use object around them to get the hoop down. The team stepped back and observed. ....
As you can see from the photographs the children tried different ways and worked together until they got the hoop down from the fence. They then used the hoop to play the game 'smoke,smoke, fire'.

One - Cup Pancake Recipe
Jamie Oliver
Ingredients
- 1 large free-range egg
- 1 cup of self-raising flour
- 1 cup of milk
Method
1. To make the batter, crack the egg into a large mixing bowl.2. Add the flour, milk
3. Whisk everything together until you have a lovely, smooth batter.
4. Fold through the blueberries, if using.
5. Put a large frying pan on a medium heat and after a minute or so, add ½ tablespoon of oil.
6. Carefully tilt the pan to spread the oil out evenly.
7. Add a few ladles of batter to the pan, leaving enough space between each one so they have room to spread out slightly – each ladleful will make one pancake, and you’ll need to cook them in batches.
8. Cook the pancakes for 1 to 2 minutes, or until little bubbles appear on the surface and the bases are golden, then use a fish slice to carefully flip them over.
9. When the pancakes are golden on both sides, use a fish slice to transfer the pancakes to a plate.
10. Repeat steps 5 to 9 with the remaining batter, adding ½ tablespoon of oil to the pan between batches, if needed.
11. Serve the pancakes straight away, topped with a dollop of natural yoghurt, and some extra berries, if you like.
Tip: These are the easiest pancakes to make – you don’t even need scales to weigh your ingredients. All you need is a cup or a mug. As long as you use the same cup for measuring both the flour and the milk, you’ll be laughing!
