Easter Cooking

On the last day of term we made some Easter chickens.  We had to follow a recipe .

First of all we used a rolling pin to break up the biscuits.
Then we added the condensed milk and coconut and mixed them altogether.



Then we rolled two balls each.  One was big and one was little. We put some yellow food colouring in a bag with some coconut.  Then we rolled the balls in the coconut.

We put on two chocolate drops for the eyes and an almond for the beak.  They were yummy!

Oliver and Alex both made a chainsaw.

What else can you think of that begins with a ch sound?

Maths For The Last two Weeks Of Term

For the last 2 weeks of the term we have been studying Statistics during maths time.
First of all we took home some paper to draw our cat/s.  Then we talked about ways we could sort them out.

Then we made a graph about our Fruit Snacks to see what type of fruit was the most popular. Apples were the

 Mrs. Irwin was relieving in our class on Thursday and we did a graph about how many siblings i.e. brothers and sisters that we have.

Yesterday we read another book about graphs and then talked about our fruit snack graph.  We asked some questions and Ciara and Deakan made statements about the graph.

On Tuesday we had 2 graphs.  The first was about our favourite fruit. and we did this online.




The other graph was about which month was the most popular month for birthdays.

On Wednesday we read another sorting story and then we looked at a youtube clips and another website about tally marks.  You might like to have a look at them to
