This half term in reception we have been learning about how different people celebrate. We have learnt about Diwalli, Chinese new year and last week we learned about birthdays. Reception shared their personal experiences and we also looked at birthday traditions celebrated in different countries. We established that a lot of countries, including our own, use cake to celebrate a birthday. Last week our story book was “Cake” by Sue Hendra and Paul Linnet. In light of this, we make birthday style fairy cakes. The teacher did a demonstration at the front and each child had a go at mixing, scooping mixture into a fairy case and then decorating.
