How to make ice cream

How to make ice cream

• Milk
• Food coloring
• Vanilla essence
• Measuring spoons
• Sugar
• Jug
• Ice
• Cream
• Sea salt
• Snap-lock bags

What to do

First, put the crushed ice and 200 gm of sea salt in the big span-lock bag.

Next,put milk/or cream,vanilla essence,sugar and food coloring  into the small snap-lock bag.

After, you put the small bag into the big snap-lock bag and then you gently shake it being careful not to make holes in the bags.

Conclusion:    

The sea salt prevents the ice from melting and the liquid  in  the  small snap-lock bag turns into solid - that makes ice cream.

Hydro dam

WALT write an explanation including a definition, description and conclusion (of how a Hydro-power station works)



A hydro-dam is an amazing structure that makes electricity.          

Firstly you build a dam to block the river. Water then builds up behind the dam. This is called the reservoir.
Water then goes through the intake,and rushes down the penstock and it goes into the turbine and spins quickly which creates electricity.
The electricity is stored in the generator. The electricity then travels through the power lines to the houses and cities.  After the water goes through the turbine, it rejoins the river.
This is a renewable source of energy.

GARDEN DAY ACTIVITY REFLECTION SHEETZ

This document is a reflection on the purpose, process and outcomes of our Garden Day Activities.

NAME:
Lolo

ACTIVITY
Ko making

MATERIALS
wooden sticks, mussel shell,knife

PURPOSE
The ko is a traditional tool for digging the soil.

PROCESS
We were working with a partner.
Miss Aireen told one of us  to go and get a piece of  wood.
After we got our wood Miss Aireen said to get a mussel shell.
We stripped the bark with the mussel shell.
We used a sharp knife to sharpen one end of the ko.

WHAT WORKED WELL
(What did we do well to make sure our activity was successful?)

• Working with a partner.
• Without a partner it would have been hard to scrape the bark.

WHAT DIDN’T WORK WELL:
(What do think didn’t work well during your activity?  Why? How did you/could you fix this?)

• Everything worked well because we worked well with our partner.

WHAT THINGS DID YOU LEARN ?

• What a ko is used for and how to make one .

Maths Blog

In Maths this term we have been learning about FRACTIONS


I can find fractions of whole numbers like:

½ of 12 =6                       ⅓ of 9=3                1/10 of 20=2

⅔ of 12=8               ⅘ of 10= 8             

I can recognise when a  fraction is greater than 1:

½ + ½ + ½ = 1 1/2

⅓ + ⅓ + ⅓ + ⅓ = 1 1/3

7/4 = 1 3/4
