Abilene and Abbey HOT Learning

We are focussing on Technology through our HOT Learning and seeing how we can be 'CREATIVE' through food technology.  We have to write down our plan each day and then reflect on what we have accomplished.  Our first recipe was Banana and Chocolate Chip Muffins and a Coffee-flavoured Milkshake.
The people in our class that tried them thought they were good but that the muffins needed a little bit more cooking.
We've learnt to pre-heat the oven properly by pressing the correct buttons!Abbey and abilene hot!! 8)

Apple Buddies


We would like to introduce you to our class pets, they are not the sort you would expect to have in a class but sadly they didn't live long.   May they rest in peace.   (They tasted great and were exceptionally good for our teeth!)

OMG!!! It's SNOWING!!!

It's a little hard to believe that we began school this morning with the grounds covered in a blanket of snow and ice.  The funniest thing was watching people play in it, pretty much all day long!!!
