Today we all said farewell to Kayleigh. This is her last week at school …

she’s off to Australia next week! We’ll really miss her, but it’s fantastic

that she can keep in touch by posting her adventures on her individual

blog. She’s already made friends over there because we are in touch

with the  AllStars

Check out the comments

she’s been receiving! She’s going to a different part of Australia (they’re in Sydney, she’s off to Perth), but maybe they’ll meet up sometime – who knows!

Mrs V made some Anzac biscuits and even some Lamington cakes.

We found the recipes for  them here   …. They were yummy!!

Anzac Biscuits

Traditional biscuits baked by anxious wives and mothers during World War I, packed in food parcels, and sent to the Australian soldiers in the trenches.

3/4 cup desiccated coconut
1 cup plain flour
1 cup sugar
125g (4oz) butter
2 tablespoons golden syrup
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda, 1 tablespoon water

Preheat oven to 300F (150C)

Mix oats, flour, sugar and coconut together.
Melt syrup and butter together.
Mix soda with boiling water and add to melted butter and syrup.
Add to dry ingredients.
Place 1 tablespoonfuls of mixture on greased tray (allow room for spreading).
