CHRISTMAS COOKIES

What great chefs we are.  Our xmas cookies were AMAZING!!!!!

 

SAMOA

To continue with out study about Samoa.  Yesterday Mika's mum Bex came in with some fantastic food from Samoa.  Wow!  

First Mika told us all about how to collects coco in Samoa with his family.

  

Bex mixed it with rice and water and created a beautiful meal for us.  Some of us were not so keen on the strong taste while others went back for seconds.  Can you tell from the photos who liked it?

 

Bex had also made some Sapasui for us.  This was a real hit with most children heading back for seconds.  Lucky for us she had made lots.

"Thank you Bex for letting us try the sapsui and coco.  Can you please tell me the recipe for the sapasui?  Sorry I didn't try the coco.  It didn't smell really good.  I also liked the stuff Mika brought in especially the maui hook". By Oliver H

MILKSHAKE FRIDAY

We had so many kids away in Week Two that lots of our friends missed out on making milkshakes.  Mrs Lunn took them this Friday instead so that they didn't miss out...

Looks like they enjoyed themselves!

COOKING - CARAMEL SAUCE

Caramel sauce with ice cream was on the menu in Piako Rua today.  The children had to do a lot of stirring and whisking to get the texture right and to make sure it set on top of the ice cream.  

   

   

It was delicious.  Most of us chose to mix the sauce and ice cream together.  

"It was yummy ice cream" - Holly P

"I liked how it crunched up when we put it on the ice cream" - Charlie

It tasted like every flavour I could think of" - Max
