Making Soap...

Our Recipe 
4 cups lux flakes
1 cup milk
1/2 cup powdered milk mixed with water
Fragrant oil
Colouring

Mix together over a low heat then pour into containers (cupcake packets are good)
Leave to set for 24 hours...
Then scrub-a-dub-dub!



Getting all the ingredients ready for making our soap...

Adding Milk...

Adding milk powder and water...

Mixing, mixing, mixing...
 Everyone had a turn mixing...














 Ahhhhhhh, look at the colour we made!  It's terribly GREEN!
We all made a soap to take home and had some to spare.  We have decided to share our soap with other students in the school by putting it on the wash basins so everyone can see how silky and smooth it is.  

We like caring for each other and keeping super squeaky clean!

We used the exhibition as a gallery to learn about different mediums that were used and processes...

We sketched other peoples work that we liked.





Thank you to everyone for making this exhibition such a special event.  The artists need applause and the teachers a big thank you...
