Waiting for seconds!!!!!!

Letter "H" Making Hokey Pokey!!

In Room 1 we were talking about food and what happens when you mix things together. We had already tried mixing things and heating them as well as mixing things then cooling them.
We were doing the letter 'H' so Mrs Kelly found the recipe to make Hokey Pokey. We had to follow the instructions making sure we put in the right ingredients.
This time we heated ingredients together and then mixed in baking soda. It went all foamy like when we made volcanoes. We left it to cool down and then we all got to eat it.

YUM, YUM, YUM!!!
Room 1 loved the Hokey Pokey they made. We shared it with Room 2 and 3 and they loved it too.

Making Ginger Beer

First we put water into a bucket and Oskar added sugar while Marco stirred it while it dissolved. 

MacKay added the yeast which will make the bubbles in the ginger beer. Aaron mixes it together.

Grace adds the ginger while Theo ensures that everything is mixed.

Lucas focusses on adding the Cream of Tartar with Ivy-Rose stirring the ginger beer.

"This is looking yummy" says Max when Meila adds tartaric acid.

A final squirt of lemon juice by Lennox and a last stir by Charlotte.

We waited and watched the ginger beer for a whole day. It went frothy and foamy.

Time to put it into bottles. Jan helps us all to pour it in.
Now we have to wait for 2 more days to drink it!

Making Strawberry Jam

Room 1 had a go at making their own strawberry jam. We had a discussion on what we might need and how to make it. Indyanna told us we needed a recipe!! We found a recipe on the internet and made our jam. Mrs Kelly read out the ingredients and then the recipe. We had to follow the instructions.

First we put strawberries into a pot. We had to use frozen ones. 

Then we added 4 cups of sugar. It looked  like snow on the strawberries.

Next Jan added some lemon juice.

Everyone had a turn at stirring the sugar and strawberries together. It was hard to mix them together.

Mrs Kelly put the pot on an element to cook the sugar and strawberries. We had to leave it for 45 minutes.

When it had cooked we put in jars. Once it cooled down it started to set.

"It tasted yummy!!!" said Ivy-Rose

"Remember to blow on it if it is too hot" said Max

"Yum, Yum, delicious" said Ariana

"Time for a second spoonful" said MacKay.

Watch out Master Chef!!!

The Giant Jam Sandwich

This week Room 1 are having a " Giant Jam Sandwich" week.
On Monday we read the book "The Giant Jam Sandwich" by John Vernon Lord and then discussed all of the things that we could do that related to our term's topic of 'Food'.
We started off by making a jam sandwich each ~ take a look at how we did.

                                                                  

First we spread butter on 2 slices of bread.

                                                                   

Then we spread strawberry jam on one of the pieces of bread.

                               

Next we put our 2 slices of bread together and cut our sandwich in half (2 pieces)

                             

Lastly we all ate our jam sandwich. They were very yummy!!!

Now we are going to make our own strawberry jam and bread.
