Hi to all my readers. I hope you are having a great start to the Easter holidays.

As you might already know, I like to cook, so I made a new page called ‘By Hook or by Cook’. On this page will be all different recipes. Don’t be afraid to have a look, even if you are not that good at cooking. (I’m not, but  it is so much fun to do!)

You can  find the Page  on the side bar of the blog

Ingredients:

Home brand butter cake

Food dye (have up to 4 to 6 different colors

Method:

PREHEAT OVEN AT 180C

1. Follow the back of the cake mix packet to create mix.

2. Then put the mix into 4 to 6 different bowls.

3.Now with the colors that you have chosen, put 2 to 3 drops of food dye into each bowl, then mix it in.

4. Then you have to slowly put one of the colored mixes into the tin and spread it out.

5. Now continue step 4 as many times as you need without mixing the colors, layering the mixtures on top of one another.

6. Now you put the tin into the oven for however long the mix instructs you.

Time for Icing:

Ingredients:

1.Icing sugar

2.Water

Method:

1. Add 1 cup of icing sugar, then 2 teaspoons of water.

2. Stir until it does not fall off your spoon.(If it does fall off your spoon that means you need to add more icing sugar),

Hi everyone, Easter is just aroud the corner and the Easter Bunny wrote this note for you guys…..

Hi all my readers.

We have been at school now  for 6 weeks and everyone has settled in well. Over the past 6 weeks we have  done so many cool things that we should be happy about.

When we came to school on the 2nd of February we were all so happy to be at school. For the year 6s this is their last year and the Preps are just starting a great new journey at school. Everyone one was happy to see their friends and what is in store for 2012.

When that first 8.45 bell went, we all just could not wait until the 9.00 bell. For the year 5/6s they found out that they don’t have exercise books any more but they have a folder for all their work. This will become very helpful when we move around the 5/6 Learning Community.

Here is just a short video of the beginning of our school year called ‘Time to start our Work’.

 If you would like to see more of the new Preps you can go to the Clairvaux Blog post

‘Here Come the Preps’

But now you are probably wondering what we are using to make them and then what are we going to do with them. Well that is a good question.

We used some Christmas material that the teachers gave us and then we put the numbers 1 to 25 on the material.  We used sequins and glitter and other things to decorate the numbers. I have to say that everyone’s is looking good at this stage so they all should look great at that the end.

Here is a short video for you a watch.

Bye for now, Madie

Hi there guys,

It is almost Christmas and here is a countdown for you.  Hope you enjoy it and I hope that you can’t wait. I  can’t  wait!

Pancakes        

Click here         At the start of term 4 we had to choose one topic of interest

                                                                 from 5 Design Technology subjects.

      House design

                                                                                    Toy Making

                                                                                        Fashion

                       Food/Cooking          

                    Computer animation

Our Inquiry topic was  ‘Try, Try Again’ and our group’s topic was Food and Cooking. Before we started cooking we had to plan what we needed and how we were going to make it. The groups then planned who was doing what and what they had to bring for the challenge. Some groups had to make bits of their things at home because they would not have had time to make it all in the 1 hour and 40 minutes that we were given at school.

On the 4th of November we had a Junior Master-chef Challenge, some of the year 5/6′s did their first Junior Master-chief Cooking Challenge which you can read more about at Clairvaux Cooking Challenge. Then on Friday the 18th of November we had another Junior Master-chef Challenge.

We all had to make pancakes. We were allowed to put what ever we liked on them or create any type of  pancakes we wanted to. Some of the main ingredients people used for their toppings were chocolate (white and milk choc), strawberries, ice cream (plain or neapolitan) and many more as well as many different pancake flavours. They all looked fantastic  and everyone said that  they smelt nice too.

The judge  had a small taste of them all and then at the 5/6 meeting he announced who had won. He said they won because he loved the fluffiness of the pancake. The winners were Callum and Jack from 5/6 JC. Well done guys, you did well!

Here is a video. I hope you enjoy it.  Take a look at our delicious pancakes we all made!

Hi I’m Madie and this is my first blog. I hope you enjoy my blog and you find it fun.

I am in year 5 and in the second blogging group. I am finding it fun. I love to play netball and to dance. This is only a few things that I like to do. Reading is also something that I like to do.

I do dancing every Tuesday.  My dance concert  is on the 25th of November and I’m every excited about it.

On Mondays I love to play netball. I am good at defence and in winter I also play on Fridays as well.

At school, I love to write but some times I can find it a bit boring. At the moment we’re doing our digital reflections  and I am finding that really fun. My teacher has been saying that I have been doing a really good job at it so I am very happy and I hope that I can keep it up. Then I will have a  really good reflection to show my teachers what I thought of this year.

I’m not sure about some of the things that I will be writing about but if you visit regularly I will try to keep it interesting.
