Week of March 30th: Fantastic Home Learning Examples!

Wow! I am receiving so many wonderful examples of brilliant home learning from the class. It is so nice to see that you are learning and enjoying spending time with your families. Well done First Class! Scroll down to see some of the lovely examples that the children wanted to share on the website.

Issac has doing his own art, science investigations and baking at home with his brother. He sent in these lovely messages and pictures:

I didn’t do any school work yesterday but had lots of fun making origami things. My favourite was origami boats. I put them to the test in water and they float. YAY! My little brother enjoyed playing with me too.

I did some baking yesterday. I made peanut butter and m&m cookies. I followed a video on YouTube. It was very fun making them. They taste delicious!

Those are great activities Isaac! I'm so glad that you are finding exciting things to do and enjoying time with your family! Origami is a great idea. I must give it a go and those cookies sound delicious!

 James has been busy baking and sent this message:

Yesterday I baked scones, they tasted good if you would like to bake them too the ingredients are:
450g plain flour
2 level teaspoons of baking powder
100g caster sugar
200g butter (cold)
1 egg
110ml buttermilk (we had none so added vinegar to regular milk)
Steps:
1. Preheat the oven to 160 degrees C
2. Sieve flour and baking powder
3. Add caster sugar and butter, Combine with your fingers to a crumble.
4. Create a well in the bowl, add in the egg and then start to pour in milk.
5. Quickly mix together to a soft dough.
6. Transfer the mixture to a floured surface and flatten to 3cm then cut with 5cm cutter(we used a cup).
7. Bake for 20mins.

Let them cool then eat :)

They look delicious James! I can't wait to try the recipe. Well done!

Theo has been doing lots at home with his mom and dad. He has been busy baking, exercising, reading and enjoying family time together. Theo shared four pieces of his work this week. He drew different examples of things that can be weighed and he has been working on his spellings and sentences. He is doing a spelling test everyday to practise them! He also thought of loads of animals for his Geography task. Well done Theo!
