The Tiger who came to Tea

Today we are going to be baking some cakes and having a picnic with the other teddies including the Tiger just like in the book The Tiger who came to Tea. We are going be doing lots of counting using our number skills.

Firstly we will need to carefully weigh out all of our ingredients we will need 6oz margarine, 6oz caster sugar, 6oz self-raising flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 3 eggs, and a splash of milk. Lots of counting here.

After we had counted out the flour and 3 eggs we used the electric whisk to make it all light and fluffy. Remember boys and girls the whisks need electricity to work and we do not go near this only parents electricity can be Dangerous.

Then we had to count out our cake cases we counted 12, we used a spoon to put the mixture in.

Then we used some science when the mixture is put in to a hot oven the heat makes the ingredients rise up and up like magic! We must not touch the cooker as it will be very hot and we could burn ourselves, this would hurt a lot. Only an adult can touch the cooker always stay safe.

Now we are ready to have our very special picnic I hope the Tiger Does not eat me!! I counted out 4 blueberries, 2 strawberries, 1 sandwich and 1 yummy cake 🍰.

Can you set up a picnic with some of your toys.? Could you count out lots of bits of food for the toys just like we did.

The Tiger took lots of food he did not do good sharing boys and girls.

Can you tell me the names of all the animals who came for Tea?

We read the story of the tiger who came to tea, it was a funny story the Tiger ate all the food. Can you get your favourite book and look at the pictures to help you re-tell the story to your toys.

Next week I will be back with Mrs Forth for more adventures I won’t miss the big Tiger he scares me 😳 .

Have lots of fun
