Making our own Musical Instruments!

 We have been exploring Sound and Communication all term, and today, we made our own musical instruments!

Listen to our cool band and see what we each made today.

Mixed up animals!

Yesterday was Pet Day at school, so we kept thinking about animals today.

What if we mixed animals up? A woofing cat! A mooing chicken! A tweeting fish!

We had fun inventing mixed up animals.

Then we read the story, "The Big Animal Mix-Up" By Gareth Edwards. It was funny to see the funny mixes he made!

To practise our fine motor skills, we carefully cut out and coloured some animal shapes. Then it was time to put them together to make new funny animals.

Check out some of our amazing new animals!

In library time, we read "Who's for Dinner" by Claire Freedman. In this book, the animals tricked the fox by pretending to be other animals, so they were mixed up too! 

Scrambled Eggs

Today we made scrambled eggs. 

First, we cracked some eggs into cups.

We mixed the eggs and added some milk.

Then we put the eggs and mixed milk in the hot pan.

We had butter in the pan to stop them sticking.

We stirred the eggs so they would cook and not burn.

Then we ate them!

Georgie said her eggs were yummy.

Veja liked her scrambled eggs. 

Louis, Eli, Oscar, Cooper and Callum didn't like their eggs - they put too much salt on them!

Indi said her eggs were delicious.

Leighton said his eggs tasted like they were chocolate eggs and he put a lot of salt on them because he likes them that way.

Angus just didn't like his eggs.

Bruce said his eggs were yummy.

Leo liked his eggs.

Making Pancakes!

We made pancakes today.

First, we all washed our hands very carefully.

Then we got our ingredients. Each group needed 1 cup of flour, 1 cup of milk and 1 egg.

We mixed them together well.

We then watched butter melting in the pan and noticed how it melted.

When we poured the pancake mix in the pan, we watched how it bubbled.

Time to flip the pancake over! We did this carefully and saw how it had gone brown.

When all the pancakes had been cooked, we could choose what we wanted on top - syrup or jam.

Eating them was yummy, scrummy FUN!
