On Thursday morning, December 7th, a class for parents took place in our school kitchen. Susan, who recently retired from our school, kindly agreed to facilitate a soap making class. Susan explained to the group the process of how she creates soap. She showed everyone how to heat the ‘melt and pour’ soap mix, add essence and colouring, pour the solution in a silicone mould and then set the soap in the fridge. Susan went through this process a number of times with the group. Susan provided the group with a great selection of scents, colours and silicone shapes to create individualised soaps. Everyone labelled and decorated soap bags with tags, stickers and baubles. We all enjoyed tea and coffee while we waited for the soaps to set. When the soaps were ready, we placed them carefully into the small bags. Everyone went home with two unique soaps each! Thank you to Susan for sharing her talents with us. A big thank you also to all the parents and grandparents who attended this morning.
