Making Flour

We are learning how flour gets to the table.
We used a mortar and pestle to grind up wheat grains.
We used a spice grinder to help turn the grains into fine flour.
We will use our flour in some baking!





Pumpkins

We sliced up a pumpkin for writing.  
We used our senses to describe the pumpkin.
We followed a recipe to make delicious pumpkin soup.








Honey Video

Look at this brave man collecting honey for his family!


The Honey Process

We have been thinking about how Honey gets to our table.
We were lucky to have a beekeeper come to our class.
Brent showed us his hive and all of the frames inside.
He showed us his smoker and his veil.  Cooper tried it on!
We looked at the honeycomb and felt the wax. 
We were amazed at how clever honey bees are!









Irish Soda Bread

We have learnt about the process of how bread gets to our table.
We used the buttermilk we made from cream to make Irish Soda Bread.
We loved the bread! Mmmmmm!
