Be bright! Be seen!

Today we dressed in our brightest clothes as part of Road Safety Week.

We made sure cars on the road could see us when we were walking into school.

Anders and Violet were chosen as the brightest people in Room 12 and won a prize!

Making Play dough

Today Room 12 made play dough!

We looked at the recipe and got the ingredients ready....

 

First added the dry ingredients. Four and salt.

We put 1 cup of flour into the mixing bowl...

 Next we added 1 / 4 of a cup of salt

 We mixed the flour and salt together ...

 then we made a well to add the wet ingredients...

 We added 1 teaspoon of cooking oil...

 then we added some drops of yellow food colouring...

 and 1 / 2 a cup of water

 then we mixed it altogether!

 we had lots of fun using our hands to mix all the ingredients together ...

Making play dough is lots of fun...

... and so is playing with it!
