Following instructions to make banana bread

On Thursday we worked in small groups with Mrs Dawson to make Gambian banana bread. We each had our own small bowl where we mashed the bananas and mixed the ingredients. Each ingredient needed to be weighted on the scales to make sure we used the right amount. We added raisins and golden sugar. We added oil and flour. We added baking powder to make it rise. The mixture cooked in small paper cases and then we ate the delicious cakes!

Science - testing absorbency

Our science topic is materials and we have been discussing which materials are used for wet weather clothes. We thought about the question- when do we want a material to soak up liquid and when do we want the liquid to run off?
Here are some pictures of our investigation.
