I love celebrating Pancake Day at school! The students love telling me about making pancakes, their favourite toppings and size. I have Kindergarten and preschool classes on Tuesdays so I always start with Christina Rossetti's poem Mix a Pancake. I have a very old poster of it, but there are plenty online if you don't know it. We do the actions and pretend to make pancakes and then we sit down for a feast and a chat about the pancakes we made. Good fun. Then I read a book. With the kindergarten classes I usually read my favourite pancake book, Princess Priscilla. I love the main character, the language, the repetition and the circular plot. Wiith the preschool classes I read a different book.
My library has a multitude of pancake books to display and I like to put out some recipe/cooking books with pancakes in the index as well, as the students like to borrow cook books. Below is a collection of stories to look for:
