Our Learning Pod students have been busy improving their literacy and numeracy skills (and having some fun along the way) by baking. Firstly, the students created a cooking dictionary so they would understand all the terms used in cooking. Then they are given a recipe and are responsible to complete their baking task without assistance from the teacher. Students are responsible for getting out ingredients, reading the recipe and following the instructions, all measuring, putting their baking in the oven and waiting for it to cook and, of course, cleaning up afterwards. Their first baking task was jam drops. Here are some pictures of our students cooking and their creations. Well done, we are very proud of you! You will also find a recipe for jam drops that Liam Howlett has written. Now you can cook jam drops at home.
Elephant's toothpaste is the name of a popular science experiment where hydrogen peroxide and dishwashing detergent, mixed with yeast and warm water quickly turns into foam. The students not only enjoyed this fun experiment, but it is great to see them reading and following instructions independently. We have some photos of Nicholas Jessop making elephant's toothpaste and William Delahey has written some instructions for you to follow. |
