We enjoyed baking some shortbread today. We have been learning about 2D and 3D shapes and this was a great way for us to create some shapes with the dough. We enjoyed the feeling of the dough and Hamish and Katie thought it felt “slimey”. We read the instructions after we gathered all of the ingredients and materials. We enjoyed taking part in the preparation for our school snack. Mrs Harrison baked the shortbread in the oven for 25 minutes and some of us ate it for our snack in the afternoon.
