This week, in Maran Cluster, we put on two Cultural
Awareness Workshops for Year 1 & 2 students at SK Jengka 3 on 16th
February and for the entire school at SK Chenor on 17th February. In the workshop, “The Importance of
Understanding Other Cultures: Pancake Day,” students learned about
the cultural tradition and holiday celebrated in England, and around the world,
known as Pancake Day. We presented a
mini-lesson on Pancake Day, and then the students all got to make pancakes!
First, students learned the process
for making pancakes.
Let’s learn how to make pancakes for Pancake Day!
Step 1: Pour the flour,
sugar and salt into a bowl.
Step 2: Add the milk, oil
and vanilla essence.
Step 3: Mix until smooth.
Step 4: Cook on a hot
skillet & FLIP!
Step 5: Cover with lemon
juice and sugar.
Next, the students learned “The Pancake Day Song.”

Then, students all
had the opportunity to make their own pancakes. They followed the process they
learned in the short paragraph and song, and then brought their pancake mix to
Tom to cook for them.
Finally, they completed a creative activity where they
designed the most delicious pancake.
