A little something cooking school trip

Last week we visited A little something cooking school. The children had a great time making spaghetti carbonara and a Thai dessert. This was to support our learning about how products were made and we were very interested in how fresh pasta was made.

Science Day photos

Some photos from our class experiment in class - we investigated making rainbows in a cup. The students had to use sugar, water and food colouring to change the density of the water in order to create layers in the cup.

English	We’ve completed our stories this week in Literacy by adding the resolution and closing.	Buddy check stories and type up neatly. Plan and write a Big Write for our Literacy assessment.
Maths	We have been doubling in and halving in maths this week. Now we can all double numbers up to 50 with a 1,2,3,4 or 5 in the one column. We know that halving is the opposite of doubling and have practiced this skill too. We’ve also been answering worded problems related to finding half.	Complete half termly Maths assessments.
Inquiry	This week we went on our trip to A Little Something cooking school. We made fresh pasta and learnt how the ingredients are changed and mixed together to make a new product. We also made a Thai dessert which was very tasty.	We will have a range of activities to help children understand how much products cost, what sort of materials they need, and to design their own product.
Art	Unfortunately, with Friday off and a trip this week, we have missed our art lesson.	We’ll begin our model aeroplane project using recycled junk.
Notices and Events	Please ensure that students are at school in time for flag every day as they may have assessments during the first period.
