Unit 4 - Making Ice-Cream

Dear 4A,

We are starting on our new Stellar book. This is a procedural text.
Lets us look at this example of a simple text....how is this similar/different to the text you have read?

Chocolate Almond Ice Cream
4 egg yolks lightly beaten
1 C. sugar
2 C. half and half
1 1/2 C. milk
1/2 C. cocoa powder sifted
1 1/2 t. vanilla extract
1/2 t. almond extract
3/4 C. toasted almonds

Add sugar to the beaten egg yolks and whisk until the sugar dissolves.

Scald the milk.

Slowly add 1 C. of the milk to the eggs mixture to temper the eggs.

Add the egg mixture back to the milk mixture.

Stir in cocoa, heat just to steaming. Remove from heat.

Stir in vanilla and almond extract.

Pour into freezer container. Chill for 4 hours.

Add toasted almonds and serve.

Encyclopedia - Reference materials

Hi 4A,

Last week we had an interesting library activity on Dictionary. I'm glad we had fun.

This week our focus for library is on ENCYCLOPEDIA...

Here are some images....

Fortunately in this 21st century, even these reference books are found online. We did some surfing today and found out about the various sets of encyclopedia available in the net.

Alternative Assessment - EL CA1

Dear 4A,

We have completed all the various components (E-Book), (Oral) & 2 topical quizzes as part of the CA1 this term.

I should say there were many great e-books published. I have given full marks to some of you. Likewise, your pral presentations were just fabulous. A few have scored full marks too.

I have shown you the breakdown of your marks and the grand total. It will be reflected in the CA card that you will receive tomorrow.

Congratulations to LI TONG, who has scored the highest for English - 93marks.
