Butter churn

I made butter at school with the kids yesterday. We had been studying NZ history, so it was a good chance to incorporate some science and history together. They loved it - we didn't use the churn, but instead used jam jars with a marble inside as a shaker. The butter turned out well and the kids were pretty chuffed with themselves!

Beautiful composition and presentation Dianne, excellent Idea to use a jam jar and marble, each child able to produce their own butter, science and history working hand in hand A* Miss :)

Love this capture. Brings back good memories of making butter in a wooden churn when I was small. 2of my aunts had glass churns like this. Great that the children get to make butter and know where it come from. I bet it was delicious too.
