Soap making – Lisa from Soap+
came to school last week to show the senior room children how to make olive oil
soap from scratch – known as castile soap. It was an interesting process watching
the chemical process known as saponification (soap formation) begins. The soap
is now curing, and will be ready for Pet Day.
Trinity McQueen carefully weights out the olive oil.
We started by mixing the oil & lye together until it traced.
It is called trace because when you run a spoon across the top of the mix it leaves a trace behind.
Then we added lemongrass essential oil.
And poured the saponified mix into our silicon moulds.
Two days later they were ready to press out to dry.
Bridge Holdup We are looking for
this year’s “outlaws” to be part of the great Coroglen School Bridge hold up. This
is a few weeks away on the 13th of September.
Pet Day Raffle This is always a
favourite with people. Have a look in your cupboards and see if you have any
cans or jars that could be part of our raffle. We will be looking for packet
items closer to Pet Day.
Netball Finals Riley Jean’s team
have made the finals of the netball. They are playing the final this afternoon
at the new sports grounds at Moewai Park. If you are in town your support would
be appreciated. Well done getting to the finals. J
