Broadford Bake Off Week 2

This week the children started to learn how to work safely in the kitchen. With the help of an adult the children successfully melted chocolate over the hob and then used this delicious chocolate to decorate and cover marshmallows and strawberries. Reciprocity was shown by many especially Isaac Wright who took on the role of ensuring every child in his group had an equal amount of marshmallows and strawberries, had the opportunity to break the chocolate and stir the chocolate and that everyone took their turn when covering the marshmallows in chocolate. A very big well done to Isaac!
