The Bakery
Art activity:
We did a collage cake. The children were divided into two
groups, boys and girls. Each group had to come up with a cake idea. The girls
decided to make a wedding cake and the boys decided to make a car birthday
cake. The focus was on team work, sharing ideas, taking turns and
communicating.
After the cakes were completed, the children had to discuss
how they came up with the idea for the cake. The girls said they made a fake
wedding cake because they were going to pretend to have a wedding in the
fantasy corner. They also mentioned they wanted to ‘share’ the cake with the
other classes. They came up with the idea to use bottles to have the bride and
groom on the cake. The boys said they made a racing car cake with boosters so
it can go fast, because they like racing cars. The boys thought racing cars are
awesome. Both groups enjoyed working on the project.
