Damper Recipe.

I was instructed by a number of students to place this on the blog tonight! I'm guessing they liked the recipe.

Also - A huge THANK YOU to all the parents who helped out today. Without your assisatnce we could only have done half of the activities, which would have been a shame given how much the kids seem to enjoy the day. I/we hope you enjoyed your day with us!

Damper
Another name for damper is Takakau (Old Man’s Bread). Traditionally, the Australian swaggie baked damper over an open fire and spread golden syrup over it.
Recipe:
2 ½ cups of flour 2 ½ teaspoons of baking powder 1 ¼ cups of milk

1. Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl.
2. Add the milk to form firm dough.
3. Knead the dough on a well floured surface for 5 minutes.
4. Roll out into a circle about 1cm thick.
5. Cook on BBQ (with butter) -5 minutes on each side.
(In an oven bake at 200 degrees C for 10 minutes)

Maui in the Underworld.

We have finally completed our digital book - 6 weeks after starting.
The Process:
1. Create the pictures using Kidpix
2. Save the Kidpix pictures as jpegs
3. Type the text into a Powerpoint page
4. Insert the jpeg into the correct page
5. Resize the text & alter the colour to suit the pictures

Once the class had completed these steps I then put all the slides together, saved them as jpegs and put them into a movie.
* Parents - if you would like a copy of the movie in wmv format (larger & clearer) please let me know.

Portrait Sketching.

We are learning how to …..
1. Sketch a portrait of a person putting the facial features in the correct position and in the correct proportion.

2. Sketch a portrait of a person by first sketching a foundation of their facial features and then adding the detail on top.


Some of our sketches are displayed in the school foyer and the rest can be seen in our class. Here a couple of examples. These examples are our third sketches - our first two attempts can be seen in class.


Follow this link below to see an amazing portrait sketch.
