Cake in the Mug

Cake In The Mug:Samantha Anjana Abinesh

Ingredients:

• 4 tbsp self-raising flour                                                            
  

• 2 tbsp sugar

• 2 tbsp cocoa

• 1 egg

• 3 tbsp milk

• 3 tbsp vegetable oil

• 1/2 tsp vanilla essence

• 1 tbsp chocolate chips

Method:

In a large mug, place all the dry ingredients and mix well with a spoon. Use the spoon to grind all of the cocoa against the side of the cup so there are no lumps.
Add the egg and beat it a little on top of the dry ingredients to break the yolk.
Add the oil, milk and vanilla and mix until well combined.
Stir the chocolate chips in and put into the microwave on high for 3 minutes.
Serve with a nice big scoop of ice-cream.

How to make Hot Chocolate

by samantha

What We Need:

2 pints semi-skimmed milk

• 2 tablespoons Horlicks
• 2 tablespoons cornflour
• 3 tablespoons icing sugar
• 4 tablespoons quality organic cocoa
• 100 g good-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids) , finely grated
• 1 pinch ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch sea salt

Method

This hot chocolate is off the scale. It’s so simple to make and is much better than that shop-bought stuff you get, which is often full of rubbish and probably hasn’t got much chocolate in it anyway. I don’t want you to feel cheated, I want you to have the real thing… life’s too short not to.

Pour the milk into a large pan, and bring almost to the boil over a medium heat. 

Meanwhile, add all the chocolate mix ingredients to a large jar and give it a good shake to combine. You need around 10 heaped tablespoons of the chocolate mix for this amount of milk. Simply spoon the chocolate mix into the hot milk, give it a good whisk and leave to bubble away for a few minutes before serving. You’re looking for that gorgeous, thick, almost claggy, knockout texture.

Things we need:

bottle x2

paint,black,white,orange x1

tape / x1

black pen / x1

brushes optional / many

scissors / x1

googly eyes / x2

glue / x1

Old hat with pom pom / x1

Method

Cut two bottles into half at the lower side. Then stick it together. and paint it white and then dry . after that make your hat with your orange paint you could use any color you want you could paint it 0.20 centimeters long. then dry. make a kind of a heart shape for it's face and after that you paint your little nose on with orange.the heart shape that we made earlier overline it with black paint when you did that cover the rest of your bottle black but not the orange hat and then dry it again finally we put the tiny googly eyes with some glue.let that dry after that get a old hat that has a pom pom then you can the that the tape it on

Helen and Samantha's 3D Printing Learning Story

Learners: Helen & Samantha    Learning Coach: T.Dillner           Date: 21.9.15

Learning Area: Technology - 3D Printing

Learning Observed

Helen and Samantha chose to participate in 3D Printing during iExperience during Week 7-10 this term. We initially learnt about the Thinker’s Key called ‘BAR’. BAR stands for Bigger, Add, Replace. To practise, the learners had to pick either a pen, lunch box or tennis racquet to make a feature bigger, add to the item and replace something. The learners had as much creative license as they needed and then they reflected on how functional the item had become - could it still be used for its original purpose? The next stage was to come up with an item that we use at school and repeat the BAR process. Helen and Samantha decided to make a new version of the iPads we have at school. Samantha and Helen had to use the website TinkerCad to design their new and improved iPad. They had to use the pre-existing shapes to form their 3D model which was then printed out by our LH1 3D printer. After analysing their printed model, the girls were able to write a description about who would use it, why they designed it and what its features were. They also spent some time reflecting on improvements and redesigning it on TinkerCad to show these changes.

Evidence of learning

Helen and Samantha’s explanation of their iPad.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Helen and Samantha were collaborative during this process by sharing ideas and coming up with other ways to show creativity (Thinking, Participating & Contributing). They demonstrated curiosity by engaging with the entire technology process of designing, making, redesigning and evaluating. Helen and Samantha were connected as they were able to show their learning in three different mediums (paper, digital and printed model).

Next Learning Steps

Complete the second design on TinkerCad and print if time allows. Use the 3D printer as a component of an iExplore.
