Wednesday 16th April

We have been learning about how yeast works. Did you know that yeast is actually a living thing??? It comes to life when you add sugar and warm water. We did an experiment with yeast. We put yeast, sugar and hot water into a bottle and then put a balloon on the top of it. what do you think happened next???
Well....there was so much gas made that the balloon POPPED!! We had to put another one on the bottle.

On the 25th of April it is ANZAC day. ANZAC day is in the holidays this year.
Why do we celebrate ANZAC day????

Friday 4th April


Yesterday we opened our Italian restaurant 'A little bit of Italy' in the hall foyer. In the morning we got into groups to start making the food. We made chocolate cake, spaghetti bologense, pasta with home made tomato sauce and pizzas.
At 11:30 we opened our doors to the customers. We worked in two teams, team 1 went first and served and looked after the first set of customers. Jobs that we had were Kitchen hand, Waiter and waitresses, Maitre De's and chefs. At 12:30 the teams swapped over and a new lot of customers arrived.
It was very busy in the kitchen but luckly we had an awesome team of parent helpers who made sure everyone got their orders.
Everyone worked really well and we had an awesome day. We especially like eating the left over food when everyone had gone.
