Apple and Plum Crumble

We were very excited to notice lots of ripe fruit on our trees in our grounds so decided to do some baking with it. We went out to collect some apples and plums to make crumble with, we talked carefully about how we knew which were ripe and which ones were good and bad. Once we had collected the fruit and washed it, we needed to cut it up. We talked about why it was important to wash our hands and how to use a knife safely. We then all had a go at using a knife to cut up the fruit under the supervision of a grown up. Miss Reynolds then cooked the fruit and weighed out the dry ingredients and we mixed them all together and put them on top of the fruit to make our crumble. This then went into the oven to cook. When it was ready Mrs Grange made some custard and we sat down to try it. Some of us loved it, but some of us weren't too keen, we talked about how this was okay as we all like different things but it was good that we had had a try.
