Reading Contract Term 3 Week 9

WALT: to understand different cultural practices and traditions. 

This week we watched two videos and made a list comparing the similatities and differences between New Zeland and Vancouver Island and then New Zealand and Kenya.

As you can see from our list we found many similarities between Vancouver Island and New Zealand.

Next we watched the Africa video

We found more differences than similarities after watching the African Kenya video.

American Waffles

 This week the winning recipe was American Waffles that Elle found as part of her reading rotation activity.  We only had a 1/2 cup measuring cup and wanted to double the recipe so had to use a number of different maths strategies to work out the correct quantities.

 We took turns measuring, adding and mixing the ingredients. 

 Shaun waiting very patiently for the next round of waffles.

 They were so yummy that we licked our plates clean

 Can I have that bit?
