Mrs Morris has an amazing lemon tree at home that has more lemons than she could use, so we decided that we could use this resource to make lemonade and thought that popcorn would go wonderfully with the drink.
We also wanted to find our who had invented popcorn. We discovered that popcorn had first been discovered by Native Americans and early settlers in America learnt about it from them.
We found a recipe for Old Fashioned Lemonade and went about squeezing what felt like a tonne of lemons!
We made a sugar syrup by boiling sugar and water together and then added this to the lemon juice to make a lemon syrup.
The children in Sanderson Whanau loved the lemonade and popcorn. Shawn from Matakana Animal Sanctuary was very happy to recieve the fundraising money to help feed the rescued animals.
