Wednesday was Pancake Day!!

We got to school at 5.45 today – earlier than the kids, so we could set-up...
We had our ingredients – pancake mix and bottled water, and for toppings we had a choice of chocolate spread or honey, with fresh bananas!!

We combined both 6am classes into the one classroom and started the class by teaching the ‘words of the day’ – cooking, pancakes, pancake mix, water, stove, pan, flip, chocolate, honey, bananas and of course – EAT!! The kids wrote down the words and the process, and then we demonstrated... A couple of volunteers helped stir the pancake mix and the water and then we used the 3 camp-stoves we bought ($5 each... :)) to cook pancakes for everyone...

First we had to learn some English words and write them in our books...

Then we could start mixing the pancake mix with the water and stir...

Then we cooked...

And chose our toppings...

And then we ATE!!...

Nothing went to waste...  :)

And we kept cooking and cooking – from the 6am classes, to the orphanage and the afternoon classes, where we moved the ‘kitchen’ outside the classrooms to accommodate the huge crowds... When it got dark at 6pm, we cooked under torchlight... right until 7.30 at night... :)

And first ever pancake too...

As night fell, we kept on cooking right through to 7.30pm...  :)

And we all had fun!!...

Alex and Jess had a bit of a chocolate-spread fight to finish-off the night... :))

We made hundreds of pancakes with the kids... All eagerly consumed with the choice of toppings... A day to remember!!

Tomorrow's our last day - PARTY TIME!!...
