Modules week 3 - Cooking

"We are cooking with Mrs Swanson. We made jam and cake and rice bubble cake and chocolate crackles," said Alec, Eli and Tayla.

"We mixed the icing sugar and the cocoa together and then we put hot water in", remarked Ruben.

Ashley said "We spreaded icing on top of the cake and then we sprinkled sprinkles on top."

"Mrs Robinson cut the finished cake in half, then cut the 2 halves in half, then cut those into 3," said Emma.

Making the jam...

"We had to mush up the strawberries. We add this natural stuff and sugar," said Callum.

Tayla said that the natural stuff is jam setting mix.

"Mrs Swanson poured the jam into the jars," said Chiara.

"After Mrs Swanson had poured the strawberry jam into the glass containers, they were really hot," commented Haylee.

YUM

Modules Week 2, July - Sculpture

The Room 3 children have been working with Miss Clark in Room 2 creating sculptures. Take a peek...

Here is what the children have to say...

Ashton said "In the kiwis I liked getting the tools and working with the clay."

"I like about the modules because I liked putting the things together," said Navah.

"I liked when we had to do Xs on the body and the beak and the eyes so the bits would stick on when we rubbed water on the back," commented Tayla.

"I didn't like when we had to design the body because it was really hard," noted Haylee.

Campbell said "I enjoyed cutting out the paper."

"I enjoyed poking the toothpick in the eye," said Jessica.

Room 3 Modules - Printmaking.

This was our first week with Modules and Room 3 children experienced print making with our trusty 'Yellow Express'.

The photos tell the story and show the activities. The results are amazing! What a bunch of clever kids!! (hehe).

The children cut out their templates and NAMED them. The first print was white, this is our background or base. After a day the children then cut out the centre square from the original template and printed this red as our frame.

Finally the children printed their koru shape black. WOW! Good work guys.

"I enjoyed rolling the ink," said Callum

"I liked spreading the ink on my koru," said Alec

"I enjoyed turning the press down," remarked Ruben

"We all enjoyed seeing our pictures in the end," commented Eden

"I enjoyed cutting out the koru, I had to remember to turn the paper to get a straight edge as I cut," noted Ashton

"Well done for such good listening and enthusiasm!" Cried Mrs Robinson
