This morning I have been learning how to take core samples. We took samples from a cupcake and guessed what the core (inside) looked like. In real life geologist take samples of whats under the land.

First Day of Term Two by Sateki

Hello my name is Sateki this photo about me and the cupcake. We are learning about core samples. Everybody had are straw and a cupcake. We had to poke the straw in the cupcake and we pulled the straw out of it. We had to color what we though the inside would look like. Then Miss Ouano cut it in half and we had to see if we were right.

Making Donuts by Rave

"Who would like to make some donuts?" my teacher said. "I do, I do", everyone said. On golden time today my class and I had a chance to make some donuts with our teacher.

The things we needed were cooking spray, pancake mix, a donut maker, sprinkles and icing. First we had to get the pancake mix and poor some water in it to make it a batter. 

After that we poured the batter into the donut maker one by one and we closed the lid of the maker and they cook. 

Then they came out looking fantastic and amazing. When they were all brown and looked cooked, it was time to decorate them. There were yellow and black sprinkles, rainbow sprinkles and yellow and orange sprinkles. I put all of them on to make it look like a rainbow.

In the end my one looked amazing and I had  lovely experience.
