Bread Making

What better way to see yeast in action than making some bread!  Year 6s mixed, kneaded and baked a delicious batch of bread.....crusts tasty and reasonably light and fluffy in the middle (thanks to the co2 released).
A tasty way to spend in food tech!

'Walk n Wheel Week'

Is It Alive? Part 2

Hi five!!!  This is what happens when yeast/sugar is added to beakers containing either hot or cold water.

Is It Alive?!
Organisms need some things to survive: H2O, O2, warmth, a food source.  Our science today investigated what happens when a food source (sugar) is added to yeast/omitted from the yeast water mixture.
Yeast is amazing!!

It's 2018!!

Where did the holidays go?!!
Welcome to Term 1, it's going to be a busy one, hopefully the weather will stay fab for awhile longer.

Don't forget swimming starts on FRIDAY!

Year 7s at Camp

What an amazing week long camp the year 7-8s went on.  The destination was beautiful Stewart Island.  The campers visited Invercargill museum, travelled by ferry, visited Ulva Island, went on a fishing charter (and caught blue cod!), camped overnight in tents - cooking a one pot meal, hiked for hours, travelled by water taxi, went for a swim, watched a local movie....sounds like loads of fun!!!!

A BIG thank you to Mr Meads for organising, Ms Blackwood and all the parents who accompanied the students.
