We made pretzels in Room 6. We used the same ingredients used to make bread and we investigated how the mixture changed from the beginning to the end. We learnt that yeast, when mixed with warm water, helps make bread rise. We also learnt that kneading the dough to put air into it, helps the bread rise as well. We shaped our pretzels into the first letter of our names. Then we cooked them. You can see from our photos that they looked amazing and they tasted delicious!

We had a great time on our visit to Katikati Museum. We dressed up in olden day clothes and even had a school lesson like it would have been many years ago! We practised writing in link writing on a blackboard and saw lots of interesting things as we toured through the museum. It was a great trip! Look at the photos below to see what we looked like when we were dressed up!

Term 3 Week 4

We have been busy learning in Room 6! We are discovering what life was like back in the olden days and we are going on a trip to Katikati Museum on Friday 13th August. During our visit there, we will be looking and learning about what school was like many years ago and enjoying a trip through the museum. We have also become scientists! We have been doing some experiments in our classroom. These experiments have been using materials that can be found in your kitchen. These experiments have taught us how these materials can change and it has been fun watching these changes. Come in and see us anytime to see our great learning!
