They all love making 'cakes' in the sand and water trays, so we thought we'd extend their enthusiasm by giving them the chance to do the real thing. And it worked! They were (mostly) really good, listening to instructions and taking turns at doing 'special jobs'. There was, as far as I'm aware, only a tiny bit of surreptitious bowl-licking. One of them even suggested that we could all share the cake. This impressed us, because sharing was another reason for making cake (rather than, say, buns). It's something our class tends to struggle with. This afternoon, though, they all sat patiently and waited for a slice, and only one little boy complained that he wanted more (does that remind you of a song?)
Anyway, penguin cake created, decorated and consumed, children sent off home, bag re-packed for the weekend, I'm heading to the station to go and visit Noah. Wahoo! Have a fantastic weekend!
