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.

Stepping out - Keeping safe in and around cars

Today Constable Miary came and asked us how we can stay safe when we are in a car.
 
"Always wear your seatbelt". - Daisy
"Stay quiet so the driver can concentrate". - Dev
 
Sitting in a booster seat means the seatbelt can go across our chests instead of over our necks.
 
Sitting in the back seat means we are safe from airbags that may inflate and hurt our faces.
 
We measured our height and found out that everyone in Room 12 needs to sit in a booster seat when they ride in the car.




We sat in the police car and showed Constable Miary how quickly we can 'click' the seatbelt on.



Then she turned the sirens and lights on for us.

Room 12's WOW day

Today was our WOW day and we celebrated our wonderful writing with all the visitors who came to our classroom.
 
Room 12's books





We went outside with chalk and wrote a sentence about what makes us smile.
Mums and Dads joined in too.  




Thank you everyone for coming to our WOW day!

Stepping out - road safety

Constable Miary came to Room 12 today and talked to us about keeping safe when walking on the footpath and when crossing roads.
We went out for a walk and stayed on the fence-side of the footpath.
We stopped at each driveway and looked up the driveway for a car coming out, and out to the road for any cars that might be turning in.


We also practised checking both left and right for any cars before crossing the road. We check for cars by looking with our eyes and listening with our ears  
We always need to hold an adult's hand when we cross the road to stay safe. They are taller and can get a better view over the tops of parked cars.
Thank you Constable Miary and thank you also to Bailey's dad for helping us.
