We have been learning lots about milk. We are learning where milk comes from and the process of dairy food production. We are learning about dairy products - cheese, cream, yogurt, and how to make healthy food choices. We learned that we should eat 3 portions of dairy - milk, cheese or yogurt every day. Have a look at this video to see how cheese is made. Some of us knew the breed of the cows that are milked - friesian cow. Alot of us like to eat cheese toasties, cheese strings or cheese on pasta. Today we made butter by whisking cream until it changed colour from white to yellow. We saw that the solid (yellow part) separated from the liquid which was buttermilk. In the past people had no electric whisks so they used a butter churn. This was hard work and it took a long time to make the butter. It was mainly the women who made the butter. Here we are enjoying homemade butter on brown bread.
