Happy holidays everyone!

Contractions

Christmas cookies

Yesterday we went to the Science room and made some cookies. We used lots of ingredients and equipment.

First we put the butter into a bowl.

Then we added sugar and took turns beating them together.



Next we sifted the flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, mixed spice and baking powder into a bowl.

We mixed the butter and the flour together and made little dough balls.
We squashed the dough balls down with our palms and used a cookie cutter to cut out star shapes.

Finally, we iced the cookies and decorated them with dried apricots, walnut pieces, sprinkles and lollies.

They looked so delicious that we wanted to eat them straight away but we decided to wait and share them with our families at our afternoon tea.

Thank you for coming everyone!
We hoped you liked our cookies. 

Buddy time

First we picked some snow pea flowers from our garden before taking them to Room 19 with our handmade cards.

Christmas Angels

The children in Room 12 wanted to decorate our rubber tree ready for our shared afternoon tea.

 

Look at our beautiful angels and decorations.



Thank you cards for buddies

We made cards for our Room 19 buddies to say thank you for helping us during swimming.

Clock game

Room 12 enjoyed making their own clocks yesterday. Today they played a board game where they had to read 'digital time' from the board, and then show that time on their clock.

 

Marilyn on TV

The screening of 'Good sorts', featuring Marilyn will be on this Sunday during TV one's news at 6pm.

What's the time?

Our outside clock

Here is Room 12 exploring our outside clock

The clock has a round face with numbers 1 to 12 around the outside. 12 is at the top and 6 is at the bottom.

 We needed a long hand (the minute hand)and a short hand (the hour hand).

This clock shows 6 o'clock.

 

We took turns to move the hands to show the time.  This clock shows 9 o'clock.

 

 We drew a chalk line down half of the clock and explored 'half past'.

 

 This clock shows half past 1.
