Room 5 integrated their learning experiences based around fractions, numeracy, reading, and the key competency focus of participating and contributing, by taking part in a "Master Chef" challenge! Wow what fun and learning took place!
The children had a packet of instant dessert. The challenges came in a number of ways - reading and then comprehending the instructions, measuring out 2 cups of milk when the equipment given was either a 1/2 cup, 1/4 cup or 1/3 cup measure, working out the duration of 2/3 minutes...and then 10 minutes, and of course working as part of a team. Each team member was given a position of responsibility - reader, equipment/ingredient gopher, timer or beater.
After the desserts were made, Mrs O had the pleasure of being Master Chef judge! Of course the best part for the children came in the tasting. After sampling the 5 different flavours they decided to have a "children's" vote. They collected the data for "favourite dessert". The next learning experience will be in presenting the data...graphs/statistics!
