What a joy to read the suggestion that licking ice lollies and kneading bread should be on the school curriculum (Report, 20 August). My two sons are now in their 40s, but for six years across their junior school classes, as a mum, I visited working windmills with each class, bought flour and baked bread at school with small groups of children until they all had made some.
It was a great way to show them the process, from the farmer sowing the seed to the miller producing the flour and to them lifting warm bread and rolls out of the oven.
