Ice cream by Anhad!

Yum, yum we made better ice cream than Tip Top!  Our recipe was...eggs, sugar, chocolate syrup, chocolate buttons and cream.  We used a blender to mix the yolk and egg white.  AJ's mum helped to separate it.  The blender felt like an earthquake!  I liked it when the earthquake was over.  When the ice cream was like a milkshake we got chocolate buttons and syrup and put it on top.  We waited overnight.  I was begging for it!

Ice cream by Meera!

Yummy in my tummy!  We ate some delicious ice cream.  Today we made ice cream.  We used sugar, milk and vanilla.  The flavour was like yummy vanilla.  And when we licked the ice cream bowl it was....sugary.  When we were mixing with the electric beater it felt ziggy and wobbly.  In the end we put chocolate buttons in the ice cream and also we put in chocolate syrup.  The chocolate looked like dark mud.  Lucky it didn't taste like mud!

Ice cream by Angelina!

Hooray! It was the best day ever because we made ice cream with chocolate buttons!  It was vanilla ice cream and we got to eat it.  It was delicious.  It was fun to make ice cream.  We needed eggs, sugar and vanilla and then we used an electric beater.  Our ice cream was more delicious than Tip Top's!

Well done Jessica W!

Funny video for you all!

I found this funny video on YouTube and thought LZ7 would appreciate it.  I know it is about a cat but funnily enough it reminds me of Marli the dog so much as she is such an attention seeker too!

Science in a van!

We had the coolest visitors at school on Friday - Science in a van!  They stayed all day and did hands on science workshops for all the kids.  The JLC workshop was on bubbles and Emily and Alan showed us different mixtures and reactions to create different types of bubbles.  Some were huge, some were inside each other and some were even able to be held for ages in our hands!  It was an exciting day of learning...and we are going to follow it up with some bubbles of our own!  Thanks Emily and Alan from 'Science in a van' - you are superstars!!

Ice cream in a bag!!

 As part of our 'From Field to Table' learning we decided to make some ice cream!  We had to wear gloves because we were making in with ice in plastic bags and it was FREEZING cold!  We put milk, sugar and vanilla essence in a small bag and then put that inside a bigger bag that was filled with rock salt and ice.  Then we took turns with a buddy to SHAKE it!!!  It took a while so we had to be patient...but eventually we all had ice cream to eat.  It was DELICIOUS!!!

Thank you letters to Tip Top!

After our wonderful trip to the Tip Top Ice Cream Factory last week, we thought it would be a good idea to send some letters to say thank you!  It was our first time writing letters so we talked about what we should put in them and then practised in our writing books before we published them on paper.  We posted them to Tip Top on Friday so hopefully they will have them now!

Congratulations to AJ!

Congratulations to AJ for winning this weeks LZ7 Excellence Award at our school assembly!  AJ has been putting in huge effort in his reading and writing this term and really deserves this award in recognition.  He also demonstrates one of our school values of Responsibility everyday in the classroom!  Well done AJ!!

Tip Top Trip!

We went to the Tip Top Ice Cream Factory on Thursday to learn all about the process of making ice cream.  What a great day we had there with LZ12!  We went on a tour of the factory and watched all the machines and people at work before heading into a special room to watch a DVD explaining some more of the processes.  We even got to eat any ice block or ice cream we wanted!! While we waited for LZ12 we played on the special Tip Top playground which was lots of fun.  Next week we will try making our own ice cream - we hope it is as tasty as Tip Top's!!!
