Baking

Today the morning children were treated to peanut butter biscuits. Some of the tamariki helped Jo make the biscuits for everyone. They were very sweet but most children thought they were nuttilicious. This activity followed our banana muffins and orange icing that we made on Friday. We are getting quite good at cooking now! Jodie is also going to be doing some baking with the afternoon children so that is something to look forward to. We have planned cooking activites to extend the children's interest in baking and cooking in the playdough area and the sandpit.


PEANUT BUTTER BISCUITS (Jo Seager recipe)
2 cups of peanut butter
2 cups of sugar
2 eggs

Mix altogether. Spoon onto trays. Press down with a fork. Bake in oven at 170 C (preferably fan bake) for 10 minutes. Keep an eye on them because they are not nice when burnt! Let cool and crisp up before eating. ENJOY!

Pool Party

We had a great day yesterday at our pool party. The children (and the FUN teacher! LOL) got wet and wild. It was hungry work and the DRY teachers did the sausage sizzle for us. Ally looked like a real professional at the barbie and Abby cooked her first ever barbie. Tino pai Abby. The kai was tu meke! Here are a few pictures...

Posts For Pulleys

Today Hope's grandfather David was kind enough to come in a give us a hand setting up our pulley system over the sandpit. Quite a bit more work was involved than what i had originally thought and it required expert skills.
David finished of some holes i had started on, cut the wood to fit, erected the posts and filled with concrete. So our pulley system is well on its way, the children will thoroughly enjoy it once it is complete - and will be able to pull sand buckets to and fro across the sandpit.

Thank you Callym who documented Davids work this morning. You have taken some fantastic photos.

Abby.
