At both l’École de Baincthun and l’École de Conteville, the CM pupils worked on the project Let’s Bake!

The project consisted of learning English in a practical environment, learning how to bake whilst learning English!

I introduced the 5 recipes (Oat and Banana cake, Brownies, Carrot cake, Orange cake and Lemon cake) and we spent the first week working on the vocabulary: ingredients, utensils and action verbs.

During the next 5 weeks, a group of 4/5 pupils would bake one of the recipes each week. Practicing their comprehension skills when being asked to ‘Measure the sugar’ or ‘Pour into the bowl’.

Of course, at the end,  we would all eat a piece of cake together!

We then started working on the construction and layout of a recipe in order to create our own recipe book.

At l’Ecole de Baincthun they chose the book title of ‘THE SUPER CAKES’ and at l’Ecole de Conteville they chose ‘READY, STEADY, BAKE’.

Each pupil designed their own book cover and have typed/written all the recipes.

I  hope they enjoyed this project as much as I did!
