Banana Cake
Today we made 2 banana cakes!
We had some brown bananas from our class fruit bowl that I had been collecting so decided to use them to make a banana cake with the kids.
First I gave them a recipe, but the ingredients only had enough to make cake for 14 people, our class has 28 people so for maths we had to double all our ingredients including fractions!
Then to make the cake we had to measure all our ingredients, and time our cake while it was in the oven.
We had a great time making and EATING our cakes!

Science - Water Pump
Today we looked at water and how essential it is to survival, it's amazing how much water we use in New Zealand without considering it (we just turn on the tap/shower/hose).
We watched a video of a school girl in Africa and how different using water is for her. Here is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8STrs78yxO0
We had a go at making a water pump in class.
Thanks to Mrs Heeps who comes in and shares her science, engineering and technology knowledge with us!

Making a Cloud
Today for science we were looking at how clouds are made through condensation. We used a model to see how this works by putting hot water in a beaker to represent how the sun heats the earth and the seas, the cling wrap on top to represent the atmosphere and the ice on top for the temperature of space.
We learnt:
Look out for our cloud writing next week.
We learnt:
- How to measure in millilitres.
- Heat rises.
- Hot water vapour (steam) rises and collects at the top (condensation).
- This process is the same way a cloud is made!
Look out for our cloud writing next week.
