Healthy Food

Hi Tomorata Room 1! I see you have lots of new material on your blog. You've had a busy term. How about making your voice thread public, so we can view it easily? Keep up the good work.

Our gardens are growing

As you may already know our school has been making class gardens. The plants have been growing rapidly over the past weeks of the term. Some classes have been adding little extras to their classrooms gardens like a butterfly and some windmills. We have been putting egg shells and coffee grounds on our garden to keep the snails and slugs away.

Healthy Eating

Our class have been investigating healthy eating. We have looked at packaged lunch items to see if they got the healthy food tick by checking the amount of sugar, fat and sodium in each serving as well as the kilojoules. We have discussed what sort of foods are good.
Last week the Yr 6's made Apple Scones this is how we made them.
Apple Scones

Ingredients: Wholemeal Flour, White Flour, Grated apple, Cinnamon, Sugar, Margarine and Milk.

Method:

Step 1. Put 1 cup of White flour and 2 cups of Wholemeal flour into a bowl.

Step 2. Rub 2 tablespoons of butter into the flour then add 2 tablespoons of Sugar.

Step 3. Make a well in the middle and add 1 cup of milk and 1 grated apple.

Step 4. Mix together until it is doughy then place mixture onto a floured board the knead lightly.

Step 5. Press out to form a square or rectangle then cut into even sized squares.

Step 6. Place on a baking tray then bake at 220 for 10 minutes.

After we had finished cooking them we had one each and gave the rest to the teachers.

This is what the Yr 6's said about them.

Eru: They were yum with margarine.

We interviewed some Tomarata students and teachers to see what their thoughts were about the new charges.
