anzac biscuits

Today we made Anzac biscuits because we discovered that Anzac Day will happen during the holidays this year.  We learned that this recipe was able to be stored for weeks once made, and would give lots of energy to the soldiers overseas.
We all had a turn mixing the ingredients, and then we moulded and patted our own biscuit and put in on the baking tray for Mrs Taylor to bake........then she left them in too long during morning tea, and they burnt!!!
"Oh no!" said Room 5! "Whoops!" said Mrs T, but never mind- we had enough mix left to make another biccie each, and this time Mrs T did not let them over cook!! They were delicious!



The Chopper Challange

Today we were able to watch the Westpac helicopter fly onto our school field and we saw some of senior and middle school children have a ride in the chopper! We got to look right up close to the helicopter and it was just so neat! Our school children and their families raised a lot of money that will help fund this valuable service to our communities.

50 days at school

Today (Monday 14th April) we celebrated the 50th day at school this year! We are halfway to our 100 Day Party!
We had some hot chippies for lunch, counted to 50 in lots of different ways, wrote stories about what we could do 50 times, and we had a great time.
We did half of each Jump Jam fitness routine, and we wore things that were halves!
