Food Technology

As part of our Food Technology Inquiry we made sandwiches with the fillings of our choice. We voted to see which fillings Mrs Dakers would buy. The most popular choices were honey, jam, nutella and vegemite. Some of us could not decide, so we had half a slice with one topping and half with another!

One of the best parts of the inquiry was choosing the ingredients for fruit kebabs, then making and eating them. Yum!

By Hokey

What happens when you heat 5 tablespoons of sugar and 2 tablespoons of golden syrup until the sugar dissolves, then boil this mixture for 2 minutes?

Not a lot - you get a sweet syrupy mixture! But if you remove this mixture from the heat, add 1 teaspoon of baking soda and stir quickly...

 ...You get Hokey Pokey, Yum!

Don't forget to transfer the mixture to a lined or buttered dish before it sets!

Kitchen Chemistry Science Inquiry

What happens if you mix two or more things together?

Today we mixed butter and brown sugar, next we put in some golden syrup and an egg yolk and mixed again.  We had a taste test while transferring the mixture to another bowl, Mmmmm. Then we put in some flour and mixed again. Last we put in some ginger and some mixed spice. Some children liked the small of the ginger and mixed spice and some did not. We mixed and mixed, then kneaded and kneaded - after a long time we had dough (Thanks to the expertise of Olivia our teacher aide and Miss Jackson our College Teacher). We put the dough in the fridge to cool down. Later we rolled the dough, cut out gingerbread and other shapes and put them in the oven. We could smell ginger as they were cooking. We couldn't wait till the next day to ice our gingerbread men so we took them home and ate them. Yum! Nice mixture!

More Marvellous Mathematics

Wow, where has the time gone? I hope everyone had a good break over Easter. We are right back into the swing of things in Kindle 2. Can you guess what these children were doing at Maths time today?

Choosing Time

Do you notice anything about the creative children in these two photos - apart from the fact that it is nearly impossible to get everyone looking at the camera at the same time!?
