This Little Piggy...

This week we learnt the Nursery Rhyme "This Little Piggy".  

This little piggy went to market,
This little piggy stayed at home,
This little piggy had roast beef,
This little piggy had none.
And this little piggy went...
"Wee wee wee" all the way home...

As part of Language Experience we made pink pig biscuits.  First we got a wine biscuit and covered it with pink icing.  Next we put a pink marshmallow on it for a snout, two chocolate drops for eyes and two marshmallow halves for ears.

Making Butter and Little Miss Muffet

Last week we learnt the Nursery Rhyme "Little Miss Muffet"  In our first week back at school we made butter.  First we sat in a circle and then put cream and a pinch of salt in a jar.  After that we passed the jar around and each had a turn at shaking the jar.  

The cream changed and turned into butter and we were left with whey and butter.

It was interesting to see the cream change into butter.  

After we made the butter, Miss Collins washed it and then we had our butter on bread with honey and sprinkles.  

It was so fresh and yummy.  We were surprised that we could make butter so easily!
