INGREDIENTS

• 110g self-raising flour
• 1 slightly rounded teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 level teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
• 50g block butter, at room temperature
• 50g (or 2 tablespoons) golden syrup

METHOD

Pre-heat your oven to 190C, gas mark 5 (I have a fan oven so I set mine at 160C).

Sift the flour, ground ginger and bicarbonate of soda together into a mixing bowl, add the sugar, then lightly rub in the butter till crumbly.

Add the syrup and mix everything to a stiff paste.  Divide the mixture into quarters, as evenly sized as possible, then each quarter into four (you should have 16) and roll the pieces into little balls.

 

 

 

 

 

Place them on a greased baking sheet, leaving plenty of room between them because they spread.  Flatten them slightly and bake for about 10 minutes.

 

 

Take out of the oven and allow to cool a little before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling.  Store in an airtight container – mine never last long because my kids love them.

Big Thursday 2nd April

We’ve put together a Big Thursday schedule which you might choose to use today.
Have fun!

Okay, just to clarify, I like alliterations. The adjective is alliteration, NOT an adjective about my day! Today is was odd, this morning was maths, spelling and reading, but in the afternoon, nature and Spanish, I felt a bit off. I think it was because Tanith kept poking me in my leg with her pencil. 😡 In nature, we were researching garden birds with the link Miss Brockie-Donald gave us. In Spanish, we counted up to 20, drew the Spanish flag and researched the  flamenco – you will not find me in one of those frilly dresses!! 💃

Bye from Caspian

Nessaphina is my black cat and she is 13 today.

Today I learnt some more Spanish culture and my maths, it was hard but mummy helped me. I drawed some birds and gave facts about them. I also did my spelling. Bye, see you soon. Tanith xn

I have made a friend

Wear suitable gloves and pick some stinging nettles and put them into a bucket.

 

 

 

 

Place a rock on top of the nettles so that the nettles don,t float when you add water.

 

 

 

 

Cover the nettles with water.

 

 

 

 

Place a lid on top (I used plant pot tray) and weigh it down with another rock.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Place the bucket outside your green house and leave to ferment (do not put it inside as it will smell awful after a couple of weeks. Once it is nice and smelly, you can add some of the liquid to your watering can when you water your plants (do not use it on indoor plants because it smells too much).  Mrs. Madden.
