The Grade Ones and Twos continued to work on their seed packets. They added planting instructions and filled their packets with seeds before sealing them ready to take home to either plant or give to family members as a gift. They conducted an investigation to make grevillea cordial. Check it out here. They also used drawing guides to create images of food from different food groups.
The Grade Threes and Fours continued to work on creating their food packaging using the design process. They learned about using the nutrition panel calculator from Food Standards Australia and New Zealand to create a nutrition panel for their food product. This tool can be used to create a nutrition panel for any recipe check it out here. They added their nutrition panel and ingredients list to their packaging and followed a recipe to create chocolate chip cookies.
