School Visits

Last Wednesday we had 3 preschool visitors. We had Mac, William and Tayne. We showed them around school and we had a play on the playground, in the sandpit and on the shuffle bugs. We can't wait until the new members of our class start school.













Making bread

Calani wanted to know how bread was made so we read the story 'The Little Red hen' and made bread. 
We had tried some bread and thought that bread was made from flour, salt and sugar. We found out that bread also had water and yeast in it.



Make your own slide show at Animoto.
We made a word cloud of all the words we could think of for our bread making.

Bread Recipe 

2 cups of warm water
2 tsp yeast
1 tbsp of oil
2 tsp salt
4 cups of high grade flour.
Measure the water into a bowl. Sprinkle the yeast over the water then stir in. Then add the oil and salt. Add the flour  and mix in. Cover the bowl and stand in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size (15 - 20 mins). Put dough onto a floured board and roll into balls. Leave to stand for 15 mins to rise again. Bake in oven at 200 degrees for 15-20 mins.
Eat and enjoy

The little red hen

Questions

For news we roll a dice and we talk about the topic it gives us. It may be what makes us happy, what we love, what we had for breakfast or even a question we may have. Today we landed on something we want to know (a question.)These are some of the question we have. Are you able to help us answer them?
Today we received a message from Ms. Lirenman's class in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada. They are one of our Quadblogging buddies. Have a listen to the message they left us.
