Maths Bakeing day!

This week for maths we had a bake off my grop name was the BURNERS!  and I worked with Zac & Mikayla. We did bakeing for maths because we were learing abuot meserment We made vanilla cupcakes with butter cream icing
they were very nice

If you want to make our  cupcakes here is the recipe:

Cupcakes: Preheat oven to 190°C conventional or 170°C fan-forced. Beat butter with an electric mixer until smooth, add Chelsea Caster Sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add eggs and mix well. Add the sifted flour, milk and vanilla, beat until smooth. Place paper baking cases in a cupcake tin, spoon in mixture until they are about 2/3 full (don't overfill or they will form peaks). This recipe makes 24 cupcakes so you might need to do this in two batches. Bake for 20 minutes until golden or until they spring back when lightly pressed. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool while you prepare the icing.

Buttercream Icing: Beat the butter until it is pale and fluffy. Sift in the Chelsea Vanilla Flavoured Icing Sugar and mix, adding milk until you have a light, fluffy mixture. Add extra milk if you need a softer consistency. Spread or pipe icing over cupcakes and top with decorations as desired.

online safety

This week we have been learning about how to stay safe online
when you are chatting  online never use your real name for your username  and don't  tell them your address or were you do hobbies because they could track you down just dont use any personal info and if you get sent a doggy message take a screenshot and post it to a trusted adult

TIPS for staying safe online:
never share passwords
never share personal info
never chat with inappropriate people
never make a secret chat to talk about someone (it's not nice)

St Johns first aid workshop!

St john's workshop!

Today the fantastic room 8 got  to go  to a first aid workshop Katherine, From St John came to talk to us about first aid, and all the things you need to know, when there is an emergency. 
First we walked in to the library and sat in a rainbow shape then we got a card with the steps in an emergency then Kathrine demonstrated the steps and we got into pairs and tried to follow.

Next we had to  try to put on bandages on people it was fun and something I have never done before 
and I won't  forget  when we got into groups of 3 and we had  to remember what was in the first aid kit my group got 12 when there was 17 lastly the bell rang and we all went outside.

  

Escape room!

The escape room challenge!

On Thursday while the 7  & 8s went on a ski trip.
The year 5s and 6s had a escape room challenge!
First we  had  to find 10 clues, that were hidden inside the library, once we found all the  clues.  Then we had to solve them  they were quite tricky to solve, but together we solved them easily but some  of  the clues were hard so we used the desktop.
Everyone was so happy, when we found all the numbers because we were freeeee! 
but that's not the reason,  the prize for when we finish was SUBWAY!  It was great we never get subway at school.
