Today we used play dough to make 
pinch pots and coil pots
How to make a pinch pot....
Roll the play dough into a ball.

Using your thumb make a hole
in the middle of the ball

Jacob is using his thumb to make a hole
in the ball.
He is being very careful.
Pinching and pressing to make 
the pot shape.
The final result...
Joseph was very proud of his pot.
Well done Joseph.
Well done Aiden.

Kathryn and Camille 
came for a school visit.
Welcome to Rata Tahi

Inquiry
Our Inquiry unit is investigating 
ways in which materials change.
We toasted bread and used
our five senses to think about 
and compare the changes 
between bread and toast.






 We thought......
what do we need
to make butter?

We made butter from cream!
If you shake cream
the fat content clumps together.
It turns from liquid to solid.







Delicious!!
