What do you call a bread roll?

A free Little Julie warm-up for children ages about 7 to 12, and the grown-ups who argue about bread rolls.

In Birmingham it's a cob. Twenty miles away in Coventry, it's a batch. Up in Manchester it's a barm. Little Julie wants to know why one small roll has so many names. This short warm-up gets the whole family talking.

What's inside

  • The great bread roll question, with a tick list of names
  • Ask the family: wht three people call it, and where they grew up
  • Why a baker's dozen is 13 (a medieval king is involved)
  • Design and name your own bread roll

It's a warm-up for the full adventure

In The Bread Roll Debate, children explore England, find out how yeast makes bread rise, and bake their own rolls in a bag. It's one of siz European food adventures with Little Julie and Zack.

I'm Ju Julie, a teacher since 1997. Little Julie is me at about 11, asking far too many questions. Leadn WITH me, not FROM me.
