Mahia te Sherbet - Making Sherbet

On Rāpare (Thursday) we made sherbet in Pūtaiao. We were learning about mixing acids and baking soda. The citric acid and tartaric acid were sour. Tino kawa! Our sherbet was fizzy, prickly, poppy and orangey. It tasted ka mau te wehi (amazing).

Pūtaiao - Mahia te Oobleck!

Today (Rāpare) we made Oobleck! We used cornflour, food colouring and some wai. We played with it and we made a BIG mess! Oobleck is a liquid and a solid. Our Oobleck felt squishy, slimy, hard, soft, smooth and gooey all at the same time! It was strange and it was fun. Whaea Rovena will remember the paint-shirts next time! Mō taku hē!

Ahikirīmi!!

On Rāmere (Friday) we made ahikirīmi (ice cream). We put some ice and tote (salt) in a big bag and mixed them. Then we got a small bag and put some miraka, vanilla essence, huka (sugar) and some food colouring inside. Next we put the small bag into the big bag. We shook the bags for 5-10 minutes. The miraka turned into aihikirīmi! The bag was freezing! Then we got to eat our aihikirīmi. We had a few marshmellows with it. It tasted delicious - tino reka!!

Pūtaiao me te Miraka hoki!

On Rāmere we looked at 4 types of miraka for Pūtaiao. They were blue top miraka, coconut miraka, non-homogenised miraka, and condensed miraka. We looked at the colour, and the taste, and how they splashed. We learnt that not all milk comes from a cow. It was fun. Some people felt a bit mauiui after eating lots of condensed miraka. Reka!

Our Pūtaiao mahi!

We are learning about 'dissolving' in Science. We dissolved jelly crystals in hot water, then we dissolved marshmallows in the jelly. Here are our Jelly Pin-Wheels! Reka! :-)
