Activity Day 3 - delicious!



Today we transformed the polytunnel classroom into a kitchen space!  We swept it and moved out the dirty tables then  put up clean food tables.

Everyone weighed out their own ingredients to make pizza dough.  


We added flour, salt, yeast, and egg, some milk and water


We mixed it and kneaded it - some were stickier than others!


We covered the bowls and left them in the closed-up polytunnel to rise.  The sun came out perfectly on cue, to make a sauna-like environment in there!

After break, we set up wash stations, the pizza oven kit and a crafting table.


 We got out our giant connect 4 and jenga games.  

Everyone enjoyed some relaxation time.

Kody finished varnishing his workshop sign…

…and the girls continued painting.

We then chopped up toppings and grated cheese.  It was so warm, Kody poured drinks for us.

We each formed four ball of dough - it had risen really well!

Next it was time to roll out our dough (😮 apologies to those pizza experts who only stretch and spin the dough - rolling pins worked just fine for us!)

  The pizza oven was lit and a queue quickly formed - each pizza cooking in two to three minutes.


Everyone had two or three pizzas then it was time to wash up, tidy away and get off home!

Again, everyone was wonderful - friendly, helpful and relaxed.  Thanks to all of you for a lovely three days!
