Baked Potatoes

 

Hi Everyone,

One group put potatoes into bags of 10.

Today room 1 are measuring potatoes.We had fun doing it. Some people are counting potatoes in paper bags. Everyone else is finishing their awesome borders. There is a group of people Ms H is working with.They are chopping up garlic. We are going to room 9 and Ms H is showing us how to put the potatoes in the oven and which potatoes will bake faster.Now we are coming back and getting our delicous sausage sizzles and now we are going to eat them
by Te Aroha and Joel.

We had expert peers to help.

We carefully measured the length of our potato.

One group made a heaviest to lightest line.

We tried hard to see the marks on the scales.



 

Our Fair Test.
By Hannah and Kyra
As part of our 'fairness' week we did a fair test about yeast for making our bread this time.
First we put the right amount of yeast then we put the right amount of sugar.

Then we put in the water. We drew and wrote about what we thought might happen. Then we watched the mixture rise, or not rise.

Friday is food day.



This is a fair test, everything apart from the temperature is the same.

Room 1 often have days when we cook in the classroom. Usually on the week when we do not have Whanau Time in the garden. Here are some pictures of the breadmaking process we went through. The class decided which of the yeast and sugar mixtures for the dough would work the best. The mixture with cold water, luke warm water or warm water. It turned out that both warm mixtures worked. We made bread and and a stir fry from fresh garden veges and home-made tomato sauce. Yum.
