Homework

=James makes a great job of his homework.=

James choose to learn how to bake a cake with his Mum. She was a great teacher. The cake that James brought to school was delicious. James learned a lot of new skills. He had to organise a suitable time with his Mum, he thought carefully about what he would bake and then had to find the recipe and the ingredients. He had to follow directions, measure and learn about the temperature of the oven. Getting the golden syrup out of the tin was a challenge. Then he had to clean up. The way he wrote up the who investigation was interesting with great pictures. His work was neat and tidy and attractively presented. Great work James. == = = Homework due 14th June
