Making Perfect Piccalill

"For Market Day, we made Perfect Piccalilli. Room 2 helped us. We had to make it with different ingredients and then sell it. It was really yummy, even thought it looked yucky. We worked together. We chose what to make and we all helped by bringing stuff in and taking turns to slice and our things."

Glorious Gloop!


"We made some Glorious Gloop! We made it, using cornflour, water and food colouring.
It felt slimy, but also gritty and hard. If you moved it slowly it would melt and go slimy. But if you moved it fast it would go all hard like clay. We loved playing with Gloop!"
