Making Icecream!

Making Ice Cream

 

On Tuesday in class we made ice cream during science, it was great because we all learnt about how salt dramatically drops the temperture of ice quite fast. It was a fun experiment and most of the ice cream turned out really well!

 

This is how we made it:

We fulled half a large snaplock bag with crushed ice and added salt, then we got a smaller plastic bag and filled it with milk, cream, vanilla essence and sugar. We sealed the bag tightly letting all the air out and put it inside the large ice fulled bag then we shook the bag back and forth for around 10 minutes until the ingredients froze and turned into ice cream.

 

This is the science of how the ice cream was made:

The process in which the salt melts the ice and dissolves into it draws heat away from the ice cream mixture and makes it freeze more quickly.

2014 Swimming Sports

The sun was  reflecting on the blue icy water of the swimming pool.  It was a fun and an exciting day full of suspense for the crowd and the hard working swimmers, all hungry for a win to score their team points. Swimming sports is a great day, you get to watch  the nervous swimmers dive into the pool. Even the teachers get a chance to have some fun in the water and experience the wrath of the children competing against them. Swimming sports is a fun and nerve-racking day. The room 5 competitors were Georgia Hallen, Ariana Ewart-Fuller, Aimee Hudson, Nicole Allen, Joaquina Romera, and David Chea.   Friday finally came, and the winners were announced. The suspense was high waiting for the results, but in the end Kahikatea came out on top, again!!!!!
