Making bread faces with our Buddy Class on PhotoPeach

Try this cool new gadget. Click on the link above and you can add a "Stickie note" to tell me what you liked about our Breadmaking Inquiry. Your Mums and Dads can have a go too. I am looking forward to seeing your notes.

What a surprise we got when Sharon from Brumbys arrived in Room 2 with a big box filled with our bread. How kind of her to deliver it to us at school. The smell was amazing. We were amazed at how big our bread had become. Mrs Paterson gave it out to us and we had our photo taken before we started eating.
For those parents who didn't get to see the bread (a lot was eaten before school ended!!!) this is what it looked like.
Thanks Brumbys for giving up your time to answer our questions and for letting us make bread in a real bakery.

I found out how to make dough in the big mixing machine. Hannah
The big machine rolled my dough into a long sausage so I could plait it. Emily Kate
I could smell the dough baking in the ovens. Emily
I made a smiley face with my dough. Alice
They put the dough into a big machine that "proves" the bread. Jamie
When the bread was in the prover it got bigger as the yeast worked. Jonty
In the big ovens the tray was spinning round so the bread all cooked at the same time. Ben R
I made an E with my dough. I put poppy seeds on it. Eric
I put two kinds of seeds on my dough. Dylan
I made a W and I put black seeds on it. Ben W
I made a happy face and I put poppy seeds on it. Ruby

During the last week we have written a recount of our pizza making. Each day a different group worked with Mrs Paterson describing how we made our pizzas. It was shared writing and we all had turns at writing. You can see our draft and finished story at school.
This is our completed story and who helped with each piece of writing.

Making Pizza:

We put warm water in the breadmaker bowl. Then we put in the flour.
Next we added salt, sugar and oil. Then we put it in the breadmaker.
It whirred and whizzed as it mixed our dough.
(Jamie,Alice,Levi, Emily)

When the dough was ready we took it out of the machine. The dough was gooey and sticky.
Mrs Paterson kneaded the dough and rolled it into balls.
We rolled it into a pizza shape with the happy sticks. It was squishy and sprung back.
(Hannah, Michael, Harry, Jackson)

Plop went the tomato sauce as it landed on the pizza. Next came the mozarella, the tomato,pineapple,ham,salami and mushroom.
We got to try everything. Some of it was delicious. We can't wait until the mozarella is all gooey and our pizzas are ready to munch and crunch for our lunch. YUM!
(Jonty, Ben, Ruby, Emily-Kate)

We could smell the tasty pizza when we came into the room.
We took a big bite and the gooey cheese stretched like bubble gum.
The pizza was DELICIOUS!!!!
(Riley,Eric, Dylan, Ben W)

Today we had a wonderful time making Bread. We used the same recipe and used it 3 different ways. Each dough had a different type of yeast. We made one lot of bread in the breadmaker so the machine did all the work. The other two mixtures took a bit of work. We all had a turn at kneading the bread and it when from "clumpy" to "smooth and silky". Mrs Boyce and Mrs Alderlieste we a wonderful help.

Experimenting with Bread on PhotoPeach

Two very proud big brothers with their new baby brothers. Thanks for sharing your photos boys.

Tomorrow we are going to make our bread. This is what we think might happen.
We will let you know what happened.

I think the breadmaker bread will cook first. Hannah
I think the bread we make all by ourselves will taste the best. Riley
I think the breadmaker bread will taste really yummy. Harry
The outside will be different colours. Jonty
The outside might be brown. Dylan
I think the bread we make ourselves will have more holes in it. Emily
I think the inside might go a yellow colour. Jamie
I think the breadmaker one might be a bit tastier. Michael
We might burn the one that gets cooked in the oven. Ben
The inside might change to white. Eric
The one in the oven will taste really really yummy. Levi
I think the bread we make will rise the most. Alice
We will have to be careful with the plaited breaded so it doesn't. Emily- Kate
I think the breadmaker one will taste best. Ruby
I think the breadmaker one is going to be the biggest. Jackson

We know that yeast needs warmth, liquid and food to wake it up and help it rise the bread. If it is a big frost tomorrow we will have to keep the dough warm so it can rise.
The breadmaker bread will be ok because the dough is all safe and warm inside the machine.
