Rock Cakes

rock2

In Class 2 we have been investigating weighing – comparing weights, finding different totals and differences. Today we put our knowledge into practice and made Rock Cakes. We had to weigh out the ingredients and combine weights to make different amounts. The results were delicious!

Please find some more pictures of our work in the Work Gallery

Bread

The children of class 5 made bread this week. They all worked in the hall to make the bread and made their own versions of it.

After making the dough it all had to wait to be baked in the oven. During the baking the school smelt rather nice and all the children were very eager to try their bread after it was ready.

They also had to evaluate their work and some of the other children were testers of their bread.

Here are some of the evaluations and pictures of the children trying the bread.
