Bread and butter

We had a saying in my family - "back to old clothes and porridge" - and that's a bit of what it felt like to be back at school this week!! We have had a lovely first week back at kura. Our focus sound for the week was 'b'. So Kono made bread and butter.

We tried two different techniques to make butter. We took some cream and put it in a jar, screwed the lid on really tight, then shook... and shook... and SHOOK!

The other technique we tried was the old 'whoops I thought I was making whipped cream, but now it's butter' trick. Using a handbeater.

We watched as the cream changed it's form. 

The cream changed from white to yellow, then the butter and the buttermilk separated.

Yum!

Then we made bread...

Everyone made their own bread roll. After lunch, once it had been cooked, the butter was spread and the feasting began. Delicious!
