Making Butter

Last week we made butter! We made butter with Mrs Trotter so that we could write about it. 

Here are some photos to show what we did. 

First we poured some cream into a jar. 

Next we took turns shaking the jar to turn the cream into butter. 

 Then we tipped out the buttermilk and cleaned the butter by pouring some water in and shaking it in again. 

We had a chance to try our butter at the end. We thought it tasted better than butter from the shop!

Tractor Fun!

We all had a wonderful time climbing into the tractor and posing for a photo! Some of us in Room C were a little bit nervous about it and didn't want to do it but we were so brave and we got a photo of everyone in Room C! (Even Mrs Hamilton!)

 

 

Parents- If you're wanting copies of these, let me know and I can send you the photo through email! :)

With a Moo Moo here and an Oink Oink there...

Thank you so much to the wonderful parents who came and helped us!
