Base 1 – The Magic Porridge Pot

We've had an enchanted week in Base 1 so far! Our Drawing Club story has been 'The Magic Porridge Pot', and the children have absolutely loved getting messy with gloopy, endless porridge. We began by exploring what happens to porridge oats when we add different amounts of water, then investigated a variety of ways to make porridge before having a go at ordering the instructions ourselves. Today, we brought the learning to life by making our very own porridge – and the children had so much fun! Along the way, we've learned lots of exciting new vocabulary such as gloopy, endless, cease, enchanted, and more. Ask your child to share some of the fantastic new words they've learned this week – they even know the actions to match!
