Today I have done my work. I woke up extremely late. It was ten o’clock when I woke up. Then I did my schedule for the day. First on my schedule was Spanish. I still use the app called Duolingo. Then I did my reading. I’m reading the same book machine gunners. I am nearly done. Next was maths. I did sumdog for an hour but then my sister wanted me to do our own maths so I did. I am using a textbook. After that I did English. I did my last comprehension sheet. I have left all the Anne Frank ones because I’m listening to an audio book about her. After I do my blog I will be going on a walk I think with my dog Monty. Later I will do project work with my mum. That wraps up today’s blog bye. Stay home stay safe. By Orla.

Today I came back and my mum had decorated the summer shed. We have already painted the shed in a teal colour.  We bought some ply wood to put inside so it looked nicer. This morning I came back and my mum had put a lamp and some furniture in the summer shed. My mum also painted a beside table it was also teal. She put some flooring in. It was left overs from our kitchen. The summer house looks really good. By Orla.

Hi guys, what have you been up too? I’ve not done much. Firstly I watched things on my iPad. I was just watching random stuff. For lunch we had rolls. I had a sausage roll. A bit later me my dad and my brother went a walk. It was quite a quick walk but lovely. We went 2.2k (2.2 kilometres). Then we had the exciting part we got a fish supper. It was really yummy. That’s my day for you bye. By Orla. 

Hi people, how are you? This blog is what I did yesterday. I made fruit  scones all by myself. I used the Mary Berry’s recipe. They turned out really nice. We kinda had a problem though we only had one egg. My went to the shops and got some more eggs. I would say they were one of the best scones I’ve ever tried. That wraps up yesterday blog. Bye.

Hi people, what have you been up to? I made my lunch. I made tomato soup. It’s really simple. My sister kept saying do not put any metal in the microwave. There was some left so I made my sister some to. I slightly over done mine but my sister still said it would taste good. Bye hope you enjoyed. By Orla.

Today I thought I could decorate a phone case. I originally made the little vase thing about 3 weeks ago. Then I found a clear bendy phone case. I was going to do a glitter glue design but I thought I could a duo so I did exactly that. It took me about half an hour. I used a few tissue papers with different patterns on them. I kept layering and layering the tissue paper. Hope you enjoyed my blog bye! By Orla.

 

Today I went on a walk in the Crichton. Me and my dad found a sundial. A sundial tells the time by the sun.  A sundial is a device that tells the time of day by measuring this apparent movement of the sun accurately. Sundials are quite hard to read but when you get the hang of it’s not that hard. That wraps up today blog bye. By Orla. 

Today I was riding. I was riding with my sister Charlotte. My sister Cameron was lounging (you have a huge lead rope and put it on their bridle) her horse Effy. We were out there for about 20 minutes. I was just walking and trotting. My horse has had lamanitis a few weeks ago. My sister Charlotte was trotting a lot and a few canters. My sister Cameron was doing a bit of everything but not gallop. Hope you enjoyed my blog bye. By Orla. 😀😋🐴🦄🐎

Ingredients
450g/1lb self-raising flour
2 level tsp baking powder
50g/1¾oz caster sugar
100g/3½oz butter, softened, cut into pieces
2 free-range eggs
A little of milk                                               A handful of sultanas/raisins  (optional)

 

Method
Preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7. Lightly grease two baking trays.
1. Put the flour, baking powder and sugar in a large bowl.  Add the butter and rub in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
2. Crack the eggs into a measuring jug, then add enough milk to make the total liquid 300ml/10fl oz. Stir the egg and milk into the flour – you may not need it all – and mix to a soft, sticky dough.
3. Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface, knead lightly and work in the sultanas or raisins, if using.     4. Roll out to a rectangle about 2cm/¾in thick.
5. Cut into as many rounds as possible with a fluted 5cm/2in cutter and place them on the prepared baking trays.                            6. Brush the tops of the scones with a little extra milk, or any egg and milk left in the jug.

Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the scones are well risen and a pale, golden-brown colour. Lift onto a wire rack to cool. Eat as fresh as possible.
To serve, split the scones and serve with strawberry jam on the plain scones along with a good dollop of clotted cream. By Orla. Take care bye.
