Hokey Pokey

In Room 3 we were learning about Procedural Text. It is a kind of writing that tells us how to do something and in the right order. It also tells us the materials we need. Examples include Recipes and Scientific Method.


We researched the Recipe for Hokey Pokey. We found out it had only 3 different ingredients. We wrote our recipe in our words in our writing book. We also researched a recipe of our own choice.


Recipe 
Ingredients
5 Tbsp Chelsea White Sugar
2 Tbsp Chelsea Golden Syrup
1 tsp baking soda

Method
  1. Grease the base and sides of a 20 x 20 cm slice tin with butter. 
  2. Place sugar and golden syrup into a heavy based saucepan.
  3. Heat gently, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves.
  4. Increase the heat and bring to the boil. Boil for two minutes. Stir occasionally, if necessary, to prevent burning. Remove from heat.
  5. Add the baking soda and stir very quickly - the mixture will froth up rapidly.
  6. Pour into prepared tin immediately. Leave until cold and set then break into pieces.
What recipe did you pick?

  • Vaughan: Chocolate Brownie 
  • Sonny: Strawberry Ice Cream 
  • Ataahua: Chocolate Mud-cake 
  • Kaitlin: Rainbow Cake 
Cakes, sweets and lollies were very popular in Room 3. We decided that Hokey Pokey was a great option for following the instructions and it also gave us a chance to see a really cool scientific experiment. 



The Solid and liquid combined. 



The Hokey Pokey was so sweet, crunchy, sticky and delicious.
