Do you think you could try bread making at home? Compare it to the bread you buy from a shop.

Andreas is very keen to watch the reaction! It's Food Science!

Accurate measuring Max!

Robert is beginning to knead the dough.

Valentina cuts the dough into pieces ready for each person to roll into a ball.


Each ball is rolled in melted butter and placed in the tray ready to bake.

Everyone is quietly eating!

Proud bakers today Jack and Quinn!


Diamon is a super star at drying up!



Warm and steamy - we blow on our baking and break it open - yum!


We all made bread rolls today with Mrs T and Miss K's help. A big production line with 28 rolls!Everyone

Lots of fun!

A great snack.





Everyone had turns to do different things and watched and waited patiently.



Measuring out capacity and volume with the correct cooking equipment!

Getting sticky sometimes!

Waiting for more yeast and sugar to react - quite a production line for 28 rolls!

Making maths strategy decisions as a group

Sometimes I can solve a problem in my head by moving numbers around by imagining what they look like. Sometimes I need a strategy to solve a complex problem.

Which strategy do you use to solve a problem? Is it the most efficient? Let's compare to others. The Hexagons Group had a variety of word problems to solve using different operations. They used their own strategies and then worked with others to compare what they had done. They decided on the best strategy between them and recorded it here.

Let the Parade begin!





Teach the Teacher in the last 2 weeks!

Felicia teaches us the chemical reaction between vinegar and baking soda as a gradual process. Her assistants were Chantelle and Karol.


Alex makes Gloop with cornflour and water - it was an interesting observation and we can all try it at home!



Leena showed us how to draw traditional Afghani Mehndi patterns on hands. They are used for special occasions like weddings. My pattern was beautiful Leena!  

Arad with his assistant, Quinn, about to making an erupting volcano! Fantastic model Arad - you put a lot of thought into your demonstration!

Scooter Safety at Sunnyhills!

Marianne from Auckland Transport talks to us about what we need to wear to keep ourselves safe - a helmet and closed in shoes.


We rode our scooters carefully - in and out of the cones - gliding and using the brake with one foot.



Great stopping for pedestrian crossings and driveways too. We also practiced emergency stops for when we suddenly see a car or a pedestrian coming our way - jump off with 2 feet onto the footpath or grass beside us.
