Chocolate Bubble Cakes Recipe

We used the scales to measure and make Chocolate Bubble Cakes. 250 g vegetable shortening 100 g icing sugar 25 grams cocoa 100 grams rice bubbles 100 grams coconut Put vegetable shortening in a saucepan. Cook over a low heat until melted. Sift icing sugar and cocoa together. Add sifted ingredients, rice bubbles and coconut to saucepan, stirring until well combined. Spoon mixture evenly into paper patty cases. Chill until firm. How many cakes did you make? What is the mass of each cake? What is the mass of coconut in each cake? If I wanted to make 100 patty cakes how much cocoa would I need?

Firefighter visit last week.


We were very fortunate to have Fire Safety Officer Ross Bailey visit Room 1 last week.
Ross was very impressed with our Firewise knowledge.

Matches and lighters are tools, not toys.  If you find them, give them to an adult to put in a safe place.

If the smoke alarm goes- get out, stay out, well done. 


We practiced what to do if there is smoke. Get down, get low, get out.  We practiced
going to our safe place at school.





Then Ross presented us with our Firewise certificates.

Well done Room 1. You are Firewise.

Hot Air Balloon Flight

Mrs Roberts and her daughter Amelia experienced a most exciting air balloon flight over Beaudesert  near the Tambourine Mountains, inland from Brisbane. They watched the sparkly sun, rise above the distant hills as they floated over the tall trees. All of a sudden the wind became quite strong so the pilot had to make  a rapid decent which resulted in a roll-over landing!
Room 1 questions and comment:-
We thought the landing was very funny - Jaymee and Oli
Were you happy when the hot air balloon toppled over? Was it fun? - Maia and Joanna
