This afternoon we had great fun eating pancakes and tasting different toppings. We tried pancakes with chocolate, lemon, strawberry jam, sugar and syrup. Our class favourite was chocolate and a close second was strawberry jam.

We linked pancakes and maths together by practising cutting our pancakes into halves and quarters. We are also going to complete a tally chart and a pictogram to  show our findings.

Before we ate our yummy pancakes, we researched pancakes around the world. We found out some people have fancy dress pancake races, whilst flipping pancakes in the air.  We also found out the Swedish call Pancake Day ‘Fettsdagen’, which means ‘Fat Tuesday’. They eat a pastry called Semla instead of pancakes.
