How to make butter
Year 4 and 5 students, Renee, Sienna and Amelia were inquiring into how to make butter because the people in the olden days didn't have supermarkets and so had to make their own butter. They made their own butter, and turned the instructions into a video on how to do this yourself.

FIE - accurate, precise and detailed descriptions.
As part of our FIE session we played a barrier game. To create the image in our buddies head, they needed to use a few strategies.
1. Break the shape into smaller pieces - analysis.
2. Describe the section in detail.
The listener had to take the pieces and put them back together - synthesis.
