And cooking as well!

Thinking back a bit, across recent posts here, I realized that we may be giving the impression that life here at Amano is all about sporting and outdoor adventures. So I thought perhaps I should give you a brief update about our studies. This past Friday, the 26th of March, saw our Grade 2 and 3 students hard at work with a practical lesson based upon their recent science lessons. As they are learning about the different forms that matter takes [solids, liquids, and gas], and about the transitions between those forms [condensation and vaporization], they put their new knowledge to good use in the kitchen. Miss Bosch opened her home to the students for a morning of cooking, each pitching in on the creation of some melted and mixed chocolate treats. And while some helped with the cooking, others has some volunteers help with their school assignments. As you might expect, the after-the-lesson consumption of these goodies was pretty high on the priority list of most in the group! Here are some shots of the class as they mix, melt, and more . . . hmm, now that we think about it, maybe this isn't such a great example of classroom studies after all?
