One of the highlights of the day today was using the comic life program on the laptops to make a comic strip. We used some of the photographs we took when we made the peach crumble last week. Although we need to finish off our comics, the children were very enthusiastic and commented “it was great fun” “it was hard at first” “can we do this again?”.
Our next step will be to add speech bubbles to our comic pages.
P3 made peach crumble as part of the James and the Giant Peach topic. In writing we wrote out the recipe. Then in the afternoon, after we washed our hands, we got started making our peach crumble.
We made two crumble dishes, one with fresh peaches and one with tinned peaches. We compared the similarities and the differences between them.
First we put the peaches in the dish, then we weighed the flour, sugar and margarine. We mixed them together and put the crumble mix onto the peaches. We baked the crumble in the oven for 30 minutes. After it cooled, we all had a taste of each crumble. Most people in the class preferred the tinned peach crumble.
