Cupcake Challenge

Friday 27th March

The cupcake challange was a fun activity that a class from different school came together and made a cupcake. Our P6 class were put in to groups and was attatched with another group from St. Brigid's Primary School in Ballymoney school. We had to design any cupcake we wanted as long as your group thinks its a good idea and we had to comprimise with other people in our group. We looked at different foods and learned how to see if the foods we eat are healthy or non healthy. We looked up on tesco.com to see how much our product would cost. We went to the University of Ulster and did different activities such as: food tasting, poster making for the product, the shopping game and most importantly making our cupcakes with our group from another school.
