David Walliams

In lock-down I have been listening to David Walliams books. I am looking forward to Bertha the Blubberer. That is my favourite story in The World's Worst Children Book.

Since the beginning of lock-down David Walliams have been reading his book's on line. But he hasn't read my favourite one but it could be tonight.

Bertha the blubber is an exciting story. In the story she got so angry she pulled out all her hair. I think it should be a movie.

how to make a pavlova

Prep time:

15 mins

Cook time:

65 mins

Serves:

8-10

• 6 egg whites, at room temperature
• pinch of salt
• 1½ cups caster sugar
• 2 tsp cornflour
• 1 tsp vinegar

Topping:

• 1 cup Berry Compote
• 3 punnets fresh mixed berries, eg raspberries, blueberries and hulled and halved strawberries                  

To make a pavlova you really need an electric beater and egg whites that are not too fresh. If they are the pavlova will weep.

Heat the oven to 180°C (not fanbake). Line a baking tray with baking paper and mark a circle about 16cm diameter with a plate. Place the egg whites into the clean bowl of an electric beater. Add the salt and beat until stiff. Slowly add the sugar with the beater running. Beat for about 10 minutes at high speed until the meringue is thick and glossy – it should be thick enough not to fall from the beater. Last of all, whisk in the cornflour and vinegar. Use a big spoon to drop dollops of meringue into the circled area of baking paper. Form into a circle of meringue, making swirls with the spoon on the top rather than flattening to a neat tidy disc.

Bake at 180°C for 5 minutes then reduce oven temperature to 130°C and cook a further hour. Turn off oven and leave pavlova to cool in the oven.

Pavlova can be cooked a couple of days ahead and stored in an airtight container, or frozen. To serve, spoon Berry Compote over pavlova and scatter over mixed berries.

Jolly Jar Joy

This term, our Project Based Learning (PBL) started with the teachers putting us into groups. In these groups we had to work collaboratively to create Jolly Jars for the school fair. This task helped us to begin exploring our PBL question for the term - How can we build community through our actions? We had to research ideas, be creative with our product, experiment with our materials and write instructions that could be followed by others.

Here is a link to my instructions.

I learnt that instructions need to be specific so people can make it correctly and make it how it should be made. Instructions have a title, materials and instructions.

Reflection on PBL:
For our Jolly Jar group we made different coloured slime.

I contributed to my group by helping my group by painting jars to not waste time.
                                                                       
Our Jolly Jar was creative because we used different colours and used items to make are jar look good.

What I learned about working with others was that teamwork helped are jars to be good for the fair.

How did we build community through our actions we communicated with each other so we can make a good product.
