Shoo Fly.

This week we are reading another Jill Eggelton book called "Shoo Fly". It is about a chef who is baking some crispy bread and a pesky fly comes to irritate him. In some of the pictures we  see his baking equipment and this got us talking about measuring spoons and whisks amongst other things. Some children were not sure exactly what they were.

Showing us a cup, 1/2 a cup
and 1/4 cup measure.

Well, this morning Kamira arrived at school armed with measuring cups and some flour. She wanted to show us how to make some dough.  

Moments like these are really special to me as a teacher..when I know something that we have done in class goes beyond the classroom to spark an interest, just like the frogs from last week! I so appreciate you bringing these to share with us today, Kamira. (the best part was that they couldn't escape and didn't jump!)
                                                                               

In goes the flour

Add the water

Mix it together

There you have it, some
dough

Thank you for bring this to share with both our class and Mrs Rayners, Kamira. We are hoping to take it a bit further on Friday and bake some crispy bread just like the chef....if we manage to get enough bread makers!

Everybody wanted to feel.
