Getting Ready Day 2

                                                                       Making stars
                                            Hot glue gunning the stars to the Torch Holder
                                                                            Sugar!
                                                                   3 cups of sugar!
                                                  Stirring to get a  candy consistency
                                                                   Spreading it out.
                                                        More sugar for the top layer!
                                                                              Yum!

This morning we have been extremely busy getting ready for both the Whetu Olympics and our Farmers' Market tomorrow afternoon. We have made an Olympic Torch holder, finished our banners and practised our chant!
After morning tea we went up to the staffroom to make our coconut ice. It has a lot of sugar in it, and not so much coconut. It smelt delicious. We had to boil up the sugar till it made a little ball when we put some of it into a bowl of cold water. We think we did this better on the top, pink layer.The boiling sugar was very, very hot. Oliver was our official photographer, and he did a great job. It is now in the fridge in the staffroom, cooling down. We hope the teachers don't have a sneaky taste!
