Making Playdough

This morning we made playdough as a language experience for our writing. We split into smaller groups and took turns adding ingredients and mixing it up! 


 Alex thought the flour and salt looked like a snowy mountain.
 We sniffed peppermint, strawberry, lemon and vanilla essences. 
 Kiani thought the peppermint smelled like his Mum's teeth! 
 We decided to use red food colouring. It looked like blood. 
 We added strawberry essence to make it smell delish. 
 Lots and lots of mixing!

 Once everything was mixed together we decided it needed some kneading. Zach knew we needed to stretch it, fold it and punch it. 
 Naturally the dough needed some karate chops too!
We started our writing this morning. Come in and check out out books over the week to see how we're getting on.
