How to cook damper…
Today we built a pretend campfire in the middle of our classroom and baked some delicious pretend damper on it!
We talked about ways to be safe around fire, like always having an adult to help, wearing heatproof gloves to pick things up, not getting too close to the flames, and making sure the ground around the fire is clear.
While the coals were getting ‘hot’ we made our damper dough out of only three ingredients… can you remember what they were?
There were six simple steps to cooking our damper. Here they are:
- Make a fire
- Mix ingredients (flour, milk, salt) to make dough
- Put the dough in/near the fire and cover with coals
- Wait about 15 minutes
- Take damper out of the fire and dust off with a leafy branch
- Enjoy damper with jam
After we had enjoyed eating our delicious pretend damper we wrote out a procedure, including the title, picture, ingredients and method.
Maybe next time you go camping you might like to try it for yourself! Yum!
Word Work Words in Nature!
Alice – Yesterday we went outside to collect some nature.
Haidyn – We went to where the trees were to get some materials and they were supposed to be small.
Isabella – We put them in the tray and brought them back to our classroom to make our word work.
Connor – We made some partners. It was fun.
Kayla – We made our list words out of bark and rocks and leaves and sticks.
Alex – We took a picture of them.
Paige – We had to make all our list words and if there were big pieces we couldn’t use them.
Jake – We made 10 words.
Henry – Haidyn gets the first word, then I get the second word. And we had fun.
