Kingfishers 2018

Shrove Tuesday is a good reason to do some cooking!  Today we made pancakes and enjoyed eating them with the traditional lemon and sugar (or strawberry jam).  While the children waited for their turn they found out about some Shrove Tuesday traditions.  We talked about giving things up for Lent.  A few people have said they will give up chocolates or sweets.  Jack thought he would give up vegetables! .... We did point out that it should be something that is a challenge - we're not sure that vegetables is a challenge! When the cooking and eating was over we had a go at tossing pancakes... only a few landed on the floor!

Volcano Explosions Kingfishers are really enjoying their volcano topic. They made volcanoes in groups - the cinder, the composite and the shield. Once the volcanoes were made we made them "erupt" by using bicarbonate of soda, vinegar and some red paint.  It was really exciting watching the magma explode from the volcano.
