My daughter teaches year 5 at this school, and last year, working in groups of 7 or 8, I made iced buns with about 45 of the youngsters from this school - about 2/3rds of the year group.
This year I wanted to reach everyone in year 5 - about 77 kids if everyone turns up. After the experience I had in my grandchildren's school the week before, I knew I could do this easily!
The bread roll recipe (with suggestions for shapes).
Starting at about 8.50 I ran a session in my daughter's class - 23 students, 7 groups of 3 and a pair. I did exactly the same as last week - with one major difference.
"What would happen," my daughter said, "if you didn't use any yeast?" This question came after a fairly lengthy explanation of why we should use lukewarm water to dissolve the yeast. "Why, nothing, really. The dough would just sit there." So then I thought that instead of the one demonstration from me of how I put a batch of dough together, my daughter could also make a batch - only this time, without any yeast . Which is what we did.
Here's the pics from this session:
We did the same in the second session:
And the third session:
I had a bit more time to take pics in the last session - and I still got away from the school around 3.20, after teaching 74 kids in the day!
Once again, great support, great teachers and great kids!

How wonderful! You just might have started a group of future bread makers ;-)! I wonder if some of these will persuade their mums to do this at home?
