We investigated making butter.
First we read the book Belinda by Pamela Allen. Mrs H loves Pamela Allen. She is one of her favourite authors. Because Belinda wouldn’t let Old Tom milk her, Old Tom couldn’t make butter for his bread. So we did it.
We started with cream in a jar and we added 3 marbles to help mix it up. Then we shook and shook and shook the jar of cream. Everybody shook the jar and some of the cream started to spray out. We shook and shook and we counted the shakes. Guess how many shakes it took to make the cream turn into butter?
Can you see the butter and the buttermilk here?
We cut the bread into halves and then quarters and spread our bread with butter. Yum, yum!
