BREAD!

last week we made bread so for writing we made a recount about making bread our WALT was to To Write a Recount about making bread with the correct structure and a hook.

BREAD

Bread,Bread,Bread  fascinating Bread is… last week the year five and six made bread. The teachers decide that it was going to be a cool idea to make bread because it would link to our healthy eating that we were working on for our inquiry.

First off we washed our hands then came rushing back hoping for the prize of having a front row look at the bread making. When we huddled round the table we could see that all the equipment was already laid out on the table. Once everyone was back our teacher started measuring out all the dry ingredients and putting them in a bowl. Everyone watched carefully to what happened hoping that something surprising will happen.  Mrs Jack stirred the dry ingredients together then started adding the liquid ingredients together. After the yeast and the dough was made we combined them together.

Once we combined the ingredients together Mrs Jack started kneading the dough. She pushed her heel of her hand down into the dough and then folded it over again and again. We kneaded the dough to spread the air bubbles and  that was when the surprising moment came the sound of the popping bubbles… Every one looked so scared. I mean it's just popping bubbles. After the popping stopped we stared at the dough being put into the bowl and there and then was were we were separated. I was so excited to see how much it would have grown. Mrs jack told us that to make the bread rise it needs yeast to make the air bubbles and that's why the bread rises because the air bubbles grow. For the bubbles to grow it needs to trap the heat and be put in a warm place so we put a tea towel over the bowl and put it on the shelf.

We left the dough to rise for about an hour until the dough had grown at least twice the size of its original size. So once it had grown we took it out of the bowl and kneaded it again and then we formed its shape and left it to rise again. After it had risen up again we put it in the oven for an hour until it was golden brown and sounds hollow in the inside.

We tasted the warm,soft and damp bread. As I bit into the bread it felt crunchy on the outside and moist in the middle but also quite mushy. The delicate crumbs crumbled down onto my lap but it was still so delicious.

I really liked the bread but I think it would be better if  we would have left it sit for a bit after it was cooked in the oven.

So we have been making some graphs but first we learnt what some graphs were we learnt about pie,bar and strip graphs.After we started making some graphs I made two one is a pie graph and one is a bar graph.To make a graph we made a spread sheet and wrote our data in and then clicked insert ,chart and it magically transformed into a graph and from there I changed it to the graphs I wanted.  After I inserted my work into a doc and added some true statements.
