Room 10's investigation into how to make butter.

As part of our milk unit, Room 10 made several attempts at finding out how butter is made. The students were divided into four groups. Three tables were step up with the ingredients and the materials for making butter. The students had to select only one item from each  table and try to make butter.
The photographs below show what each group selected from each table.

The students roved around to check if the correct number of items were collected from each table. The students talked about the groups who selected more than one item from each  table , therefore they were sent back to put the items away and reselect the items for making butter.

Next the groups chose a table to sit at and make butter. These photographs show what the students did at each table.

"First we'll put the cream in the jar and then we'll use a whisk to whisk it. 

Oops the whisk is too big."...Sotheary. Let's Shake it ....Darshika

"Oops i think we need something else . We can't make butter with water

I think we need some yoghurt."...Evnik

Only one group was able to make butter. The photographs below show the butter that was made. 

The students enjoyed tasting the butter and used the word creamy to describe it. The students also had the opportunity to taste the butter form a supermarket. When the question was asked "How is Room 10's butter different from the supermarket butter ,one of the girls shouted..." the butter from the supermarket is salty". 

The photographs below show you what happened at the end of the investigation.

Room 10 students wanted to find out what happens to the milk when :
Milk is put in the fridge.
Milk is put in the freezer.
Milk is left out on the bench top/out of the fridge for a couple of days.

                   See if you can figure out what they discovered from these photographs.

Constable Taina's Visit.
This week is Road Safety Week for Juniors at our school and a very special visitor has come to our school to teach the students about  crossing  the road safely , wearing  a seat belt , looking out for traffic on the driveways and walking the safe way(constable Taina's way)
Some important facts to remember are: 
You must be 8 years old to cross the road by yourself. You must sit on a booster seat until the age of seven or else  mum and dad will have to pay a fine of up to $150.  Look to your right and left while crossing the road and never  step over the curb while waiting to cross. 
The students also learnt a new word TRAFFIC and now know what it means. 
These pictures show what the students did today  and tomorrow we will be on the road practicing the skills we've learnt about crossing the road safely. Thank You Constable Taina.

Walking the safe way-Constable Taina's way.

Sitting on a booster seat at the back of the car and not on the FRONT seat!

Putting on a seat belt by herself. Yipee

Locating hazards while walking on the footpath.

Look to your right first!

And the award for the best boy and best girl goes to    Miss C and Master I.
