KNOCKING

Come in!

Hello, Katy.

-Hey, Callum.

-Hello, Katy.

Hey, guys, come in.

Come in to my kitchen.

Now, do you want to know what delicious recipe

we're going to cook today?

ALL: Yes!

Well, today's mouth-watering recipe is going to be...

..fresh-fruit flapjack. Doesn't that look tasty?

CHILDREN: Yes.

Now, we're nearly ready, but there's one thing that we need to do first.

Do you know what it is?

-ALL: Wash our hands!

-That's right!

# Roll up your sleeves

# Give your hands a wash

# With slippy-dippy soap

# Splish-splash-splosh

-# Have you done your hands?

-Yes!

-# Washed and dried?

-Yes!

-# Sleeves rolled up?

-Yes!

-# Apron tied?

-Yes!

# What can you do? I can cook. #

Let's get cooking.

ALL: Yes!

To make our fresh-fruit flapjack, we'll need some blueberries.

What do they look like on the plate?

-Googly eyes.

-Do they look like loads of googly eyes?

-Millions and squillions of googly eyes.

-They look like balls.

You can use any kind of fresh fruit.

You can use strawberries, raspberries or blackberries,

but we're going to use blueberries today.

So now, you need to squash your blueberries. So, take your fork...

..and squash them.

And squash them, that's right.

Whoa! And all the juices come out.

-What colour do you think they'll be inside?

-Green?

-Red?

-What colour are they when you look, Roman?

-Green.

-They're green.

LAUGHTER The green come out!

You could even try squashing with your fingers,

which is fun. Push them down with your thumbs...

Mine's green and yours is yellow.

Squish!

-Who likes squishing blueberries?

-Me.

Me.

Do they make a sound when you squish them?

Pop!

Like popcorn.

-Can you make that sound?

-No.

-What does it do?

-Pop, pop, pop.

Can you pretend to pop at home as well? Like this.

-Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop.

-LAUGHTER

-It stick to my thumb.

-It stick to my thumb.

KATY LAUGHS

Roman, you are a very good squisher.

-Eurgh, all the juices are squirting at me!

-Ha-ha!

What do you think we'll need next in our recipe?

Let's put YOU to the test. Today's ingredient for you to guess.

What do you think it's going to be?

LAUGHTER

Let me give you some clues.

The missing ingredient for our fresh-fruit flapjacks

is made up of lots of tiny little pieces.

So could it be...a sandcastle?

You can't eat a sandcastle!

Now, our missing ingredient is usually white.

So, could it be...?

No!

We can't eat a snowman!

Now, the missing ingredient is made up of lots of tiny pieces,

is usually white, and one more clue for you,

it's used to make bread.

So, could it be...

..flour? The missing ingredient is flour.

Did you work it out?

We're going to need some flour in our fresh-fruit flapjacks.

Now, we know what flour looks like, but how do you think it's made?

Let's go and find out on our computer.

Flour comes from wheat, which grows in fields.

At harvest time, when the wheat has all dried out, a big machine

called a combine harvester

collects the wheat and takes out all the bits that are not needed.

The useful bits that are left over are called grain.

The grain gets taken to a mill, where it's cleaned.

It's then crushed between big stones which spin round very quickly,

so that it becomes flour.

The flour is then collected ready to be packed up and sent to the shops.

We've got some wholemeal flour here.

-So, has everyone got their bowl of wholemeal flour?

-Yes!

To this, we'll add some lovely oats. So, pour in your oats... Wee!

That's it. Next, we'll add some sugar.

What do you think that will do to our flapjack? Make it really...

-Sweet.

-Sweet.

So, pour that in.

-That's it, Olivia. Brilliant.

-It looks like

a snowy mountain.

A snow mountain...as we're building it up. It does a bit. Now, we add

some soft butter. Push it in with your fingers.

Who can guess what we're going to do next?

-Tickling!

-Tickling!

Do you like tickling at home? Let's get our tickling fingers out. Ready?

-Go - tickle, tickle, tickle...

-GIGGLING

Put them in the bowl and let's get tickling.

You can pretend to tickle with us at home as well.

-What are we going to turn it into?

-Breadcrumbs.

-Into crumbs, yes.

-Who's ticklish?

-Me!

-Me!

GIGGLING

We need to make all of our butter completely disappear.

Keep tickling, everyone. Roman, that's fantastic!

You're an expert tickler. The butter's already gone.

And now, we're going to take a loaf tin, like this. Now,

-who likes finger-painting?

-Me!

-Me!

-You do?

We're doing finger-painting with a chunk of butter. We need to paint

all four sides of the tin with our butter, and the bottom.

Make sure it's all covered.

This will stop our flapjack from sticking to the tin

when we put it in the oven later on.

-Girls, what's happening to your fingers?

-Getting messy!

Can I see?

-Eurgh!

-KATY LAUGHS

Have you covered all of the bits?

-Yes.

-Now, take some - but not all - of your oaty mixture and put it

in your loaf tin. You can pick it up with your hands, or use your spoon.

-I've used my spoon.

-Sprinkle in about half of your crumbly mixture.

It's a bit like sand, isn't it?

That's it, Olivia, fantastic! That's really good. And now, we'll press it

into the bottom of our tin. So your oats don't look a mess,

use your knuckles and press, press, press. Let's get pressing, everyone!

We want to make it nice and hard.

Push! Push!

-Push!

-GIGGLING

That's it. Callum, fantastic! That is just what we're looking for.

-Brilliant. Is yours nice and flat, Tilly?

-Yes.

My hands are getting sticky with the butter.

I think it's all done.

Now, it's time to get REALLY messy.

We're going to put all the squishy fruit on top of our oaty mixture.

Use your fingers. Pick them up

and just put them on top.

It's a bit like making a sandwich.

Like a strawberry sandwich.

But what are we using today, Tilly?

-Blueberries.

-That's it.

It's a blueberry sandwich. And then, spread them all about,

and try and fill in all of the gaps.

Come here!

KATY LAUGHS

Let's see yours.

They're all juicy!

-KATY LAUGHS

-Squish a bit more down,

so it's flat.

Now, all we do is add the rest of

the yummy oat mixture on top of the blueberries. Add it all on.

Use your hands. Sprinkle it on,

like the top part of the sandwich.

-All at the same time.

-It's really fun.

-Do you do it all?

-That's right, we put ALL of it on.

We need to give it a little

pitter-patter on top, to make it nice and flat.

I'm doing it with a spoon.

I'm doing it with my hands.

Really gently, Roman. Not with your knuckles, with your fingertips.

Go...pitter-patter, pancake.

(Pitter-patter, pancake.)

-GIGGLING

-Pitter-patter, pancake.

I did it on my hands...

-and then pour it in.

-KATY LAUGHS

-How are you doing, Olivia?

-Fine.

-Let's have a look... Really good.

Brilliant. What does it feel like when you go pitter-patter on top?

-Cold.

-Cold?

-A bit sticky, cos it sticks to my hands.

-It sticks to my fingers too.

-Look, I've got loads.

-I like getting...also messy on my eyebrows.

EVERYBODY LAUGHS

Now, it's time to put our flapjacks in a warm oven for 20 minutes.

But remember - with ovens, beware, it's hot in there.

So get an adult to help you. Come on, everyone.

There we go.

Whilst our fresh-fruit flapjacks are cooking, it's time to...

ALL: Tidy up!

It's always good to put away, so we can use things another day.

So now, it's time to remember what we've made today.

Our flapjack has cooled down a bit

and it's ready to eat. The waiting is over, it all looks so yum.

Let's taste what we've cooked and put it in our tum. Come on!

Mmm!

-What does yours taste like, Tilly?

-It tastes all scrummy.

-What do you think of yours, Callum?

-Yummy.

Is it yummy?

-What's your favourite part, Roman?

-Oats.

They're...yummy.

Our fresh-fruit flapjack is delicious. We did it!

-ALL: We can cook!

-That's it for now. I can't wait

to see you all again soon. And just remember that YOU can cook too.

GIGGLING

Why are blueberries blue?

Because they've got blue inside. They're called "blue." Blueberries.

-What else could you make flapjacks out of?

-Apple.

-Black...blackberries.

-Banana.

-Oh, yummy, yummy, yummy!
