Jump Rope

We had a great day today for Jump Rope for Heart. The sun was shining, the sausage sizzle was delicious and our ice blocks were the best. Thanks to Miss Pasirio for organising a great day. We look forward to next years event.

Fizzing Lemonade Take two

We tried it again and this time success! The key was lots more flavour and lots more sugar because the last lot was so kawa. This time it was delicious. We even got bubbles just like coke.

Fizzing, Bubbling, Sherbet

We made sherbet as part of our topic today. It was very cool. The citric acid and bi-carbonate mix together with the saliva in our mouths to make a fizzy chemical reaction. We thought it was delicious, bubbly, fizzy, sour, soft, yummy and delicious. We took some photos of it fizzing in water and in our mouths. It's such a cool thing to make I'm going to make it at home.

Ready.......

Steady, Go!!!!

Te Rangituatea

We tried to make fizzing lemonade and it was not good. Everyone said it had no taste. So we're going to try again next week. That's science for you though isn't it. Maybe it will work, maybe it won't. Adjust your ingredients or method and try again.

Shake, Shake, Shake

Our topic this term is kitchen chemistry so today we made butter. It was so easy. Just pour cream into a container or jar and shake, shake, shake it up until it turns into butter. Here's a few photos of us shaking it up and eating bread spread with our delicious creamy butter. Keep an eye out for our next post on fizzing lemonade. Yummy can't wait!!
