All we Knead is Bread by 4AT

Last week as part of our Inquiry unit we did an experiment to see what yeast does. We mixed sugar, yeast and warm water and put it in a bottle. We attached a balloon to the top of the bottle. We waited for the yeast to ferment. When it did, it gave out a gas :carbon – di – oxide. This went into the balloon and blew it up. Here are some pictures.

The next day we used the yeast in our bread making. The yeast made bubbles in the dough and it doubled in size. We baked the bread and then got to enjoy eating warm scrumptious bread.

Bread without yeast is flat and is called unleavened bread. During the Last Supper, Jesus used unleavened bread.

The Last Supper

On Tuesday, we read about the Last Supper and then got to act it out. We used little cups filled with apple cordial instead of wine. We used pita bread. We remembered what Jesus did.

He took the bread, blessed it, broke it, and shared it saying: Take and Eat. This is my Body.

Then he took the wine, blessed it and shared it saying: Take and Drink. This is my Blood.

Then he said “Do this in memory of me”.

Every time we celebrate Eucharist, we are doing what
happened at the Last Supper.

We prayed especially for the children in our school who are making their First Holy Communion this year.
