Making ice-cream!

Awahono School is doing a science thing where we go to different classes every Friday, today we learnt how ice-cream is made, and we got to experience it by making it in groups. Firstly we had to whip the cream and condensed milk, I got picked to whip it for my group. While adding in vanilla essence with a beater thing, it went liquidy then like whipped cream. After that we added food colouring to make the ice-cream different colours, to make.. what it’s called unicorn ice-cream. After that Tahlia, Haylee, Zoe, Anusshika and I splat all these colours of whipped cream into a large rectangle container, I also got chose to add sprinkles, I added a lot of sprinkles. Then Miss Bailey put the coloured cream in the freezer, it might not be ready in time for us to eat it but we get to try it on Monday. It was a really fun social, science experiment! Thanks Miss Bailey for this session, it was so fun to do this with a group, it’s good teamwork and definitely helped to build up my social skills. I'm super excited to see how it comes out and to taste it. The funny thing is that I had no clue you could make homemade ice-cream! Here are some pictures of my class in the process of this experiment!


The Farm Visit

A couple weeks ago, my class and I went out for a farm visit while others were at Westermaths. It was a really fun experience for me because I've never really been on a farm because I've lived in a lot of cities. At the farm, someone got electrocuted by an electric fence. We saw huge pigs and deers, and we got to eat bees honey! Heres a photo of when we went on the farm. 

The SUN

 Last week, our class went outside to silent read and played a game in the hot sun. The game we played, was when you went into two groups and linked hands, and you had to try and get untwisted if that makes sense. It was really easy, but super fun. It was really nice to go outside in the sun for a bit to get some energy, and to get out of the classroom. Here are some pictures!
