I am trying to find pairs of fractions. Some cards were coloured pictures and I had to match the numbers like 1/4 with one coloured part out of four. Eve.

   I am making a play doh shape. Then I used the plastic knife to cut the shape into quarters and halves. I had to make the pieces straight and the exactly the same size.  Yusra

We cut the play-Doh in half. I knew it was in half because there were two pieces the same. Keyan

After we had made the butter we used bread, cheese, grated carrot, sliced tomato and a lettuce leaf to make a delicious and healthy sandwich. We spread our butter on the slices of bread and then we took a huge bite of the sandwich. It was very yummy.

Lastly, we tried making butter from thickend cream and this time we used an electrical appliance called a electric mixer. This time it took 5 minutes with the electric mixer to make butter. When we finished, the butter looked like smashed bananas because it was yellow and it looked bumpty. We got to taste the butter and it was delicious.

We needed a quicker way to make butter so we added marbles to the glass jar for the 2nd try. This time we put two marbles  in and shook the jar it took seven minutes and thirty four seconds to make butter. This time it was less time and the butter we made was yellow, squishy and it had butter milk too.

At school, we made butter the old fashioned way. we put the cream in the tall, glass jar and it took 11 minutes and 12 seconds to make butter. We had to shake the jar. It was easy to do When we made the butter it was yellow, squishy and creamy.

Up in the hills where the mountains were was a  place called  Mont de Lancey. It is an old fashioned homestead from the 1860s. The  toilets  were  buckets and the newspapers were  toilet paper. I learnt that when  children  were  sick  they  had  to  sleep in  the  kitchen where it was warm near the fireplace.

Last Thursday the 4th of September we had a BE WELL READ, WEAR RED day at school as part of our Book Week celebrations. We came to school dressed in our red clothes and did fun activities in our classroom about our favourite books. It was a great day!

In the house the bed has a  pillow and a blanket. In my house there’s a big bath and in the old house there was a metal bath in the kitchen and the kitchen was outside the house. The laundry was outside and so was the toilet. In the toilet there was no toilet paper, just newspaper. I didn’t like it. There was no taps in the house, they had to get water from a water pump.
