Yum….Yum…Jelly…. That was the reaction, our little learners had when they were told that our activity for the day was Jelly Making in conjunction with the current sound ‘j’. The objective of this activity was to provide a tangible experience about the process of jelly making through a live cooking session for the learners.

The teacher started the activity by showing how hot water needed to be poured carefully into the container. Then she added the solid jelly crystals into the hot water. During this process the students could see the solid jelly crystals and sugar dissolving in water. The students then whisked the mixture one by one while watching the jelly dissolve.
The teacher then explained that the liquid needs to be cooled and then poured into a mould which will take the shape of the container. The jelly was kept in the refrigerator for 2 hours to set. The students were surprised and excited to see the jelly that was formed. At home time jelly was given as a give away to all the students.
