Chocolate Cake Project

Recently baking has been a big hit in Kohara and many of our children are enjoying learning how to follow a recipe in sequence and follow instructions.

Blake, Lochie, Anika, Awatea and Luca enjoyed baking a chocolate cake. It sounds like they had an absolute blast adding ingredients, mixing, stirring, cracking eggs, and eventually taste testing! They even adapted the recipe to make it gluten free.

Baking is a really great activity at home and at school as there are so many links to maths - quarters, halves, measurement amounts (what is a cup, what is half a teaspoon...) and time (how long will it take, what time is it when we put it in the oven, what time will it be ready...) as well as for sequencing  - knowing what to do and in what order.
