Gingerbread men

This week our class is split up into four groups with the children from Shelley, Danielle and Ms Daniels class. We are having a fun week of learning experiences while Danielle's class is being refurbished.

The children working with Hine and Kate are listening to the story "The Gingerbread Man" then making gingerbread and retelling the story.

They get a copy of the recipe and their very own gingerbread that they made.

Gingerbread Man where have you run? You ran away before we could have fun.

Here is the recipe so you can make some more Gingerbread.

How to make Gingerbread

6 ½ tablespoons of butter                ½ cup of brown sugar 2 cups of sifted flour 1 teaspoon of baking soda 3 teaspoons of ginger ½ cup of molasses (or golden syrup) currants Make sure a grown up is in charge. 1.    Cream butter and sugar together. 2.   Mix dry ingredients and molasses until you have a dough. 3.   Knead with your hands and roll out on a floured board. 4.   Cut out cookie shapes using cookie cutter. 5.   Place on a greased tray, add currant eyes and bake in oven 180o C for 10-15 minutes.

Room 6's Seed Shop

Room 6 have been running a seed shop with the help of King Seeds.

Our classroom has a kitchen in it and when we use it we sometimes need the teachers to bring equipment from home so we decided to fundraise so we could buy some more things for our kitchen.

These are the things we think we would benefit from having at school.

Thanks for supporting our cause and we hope you all get to use the things we buy sometime soon.

What equipment do you think we need in the Cool Kids Kitchen? 

Baking with our Buddy

I liked making the buddy biscuits with our buddy Isabelle. We have been including our buddy in our class. Next term we will have two new buddies from Room 5 coming to learn with us. They came for a visit today. We will make them feel welcome when they start in our room. You can find our buddy recipe here.

Butter Goodness

We made butter from cream. It is so easy and delicious you could try it at home. You can watch our movie to hear our learning. We are learning about solids, liquids and gases.

Pāpā- Dad
Māmā- Mum
Koro- Grandad
Kuia- Grandma

Andrew said Māori words are awesome. We all enjoyed watching this video below. Take a look at the Waiata Mai web page for more videos you can watch.
