Solar System Cookies

The trip to cook the big 'sun' is organised for 14th May. We will also have a 'behind the scenes' tour of the bakery and store and some other activities. The trip will be from 1:30pm until 4pm so unfortunately we will have to miss some lessons.......! You will receive letters and permission slips at next weeks session. If you cannot attend next week please see myself or Mr White.

The Hoodies have arrived!! If you haven't collected yours already please do so asap from S21 or S24. You need to pay £8 towards the cost and we will pay the rest. If you wish to pay by cheque then make them payable to 'Brigshaw School Fund'.

solar system biscuits - 22nd april

At stem club this week we used different ingrediants to experiment which ingrediants worked the best to make out solar system. We shaped the mixture in many different ways to see which ones cooked faster and which ones cooked differently because of the ingrediants. We made some with white chocolate chips, some with milk chocolate chips and some with both, some people also tried putting cherries and nuts in theirs for a change and just to see if if effected it. we realised that the cookie that Mr White made that was a large circle one took longer to cook then the smaller ones that other people made. We also discovered that if we had made the cookies flatter they would of been more biscuit like. Maybe we could have both cake type cookies and normal cookies. We also found out that using cherries and nuts in the cookies didnt make much difference and still tasted very good :)
