Pancake Tuesday Fun in Nursery

17th Feb 2026

Today we had a wonderful time celebrating Pancake Tuesday in Nursery! The children loved being bakers for the day, helping to use our four ingredients to make the pancake mixture.

We explored how the mixture changed as it cooked, watching it go from runny to firm. This helped the children learn about changes in materials and early scientific thinking.

And of course — the very best part was getting to eat our pancakes! Lots of happy faces all around. 

This activity supported learning in:

  • Understanding the World – observing how cooking changes ingredients
  • Language Development – using words like mix, pour, cook, change
  • Early Maths – counting our four ingredients and following steps
  • Physical Development – stirring, pouring and using tools safely
  • Personal & Social Skills – turn?taking and celebrating together

A delicious day of learning in Nursery!
