AROUND THE WORLD ...

This term we are going around the world... we are issuing "passports " to the children visiting our Stay and Play sessions and inviting them to collect a weekly "stamp".  Once they have collected 5 stamps they can borrow one of our fabulous Play and Share sacks - absolutely FREE! (toy library membership is required).

Display of our journey around the world...

Having checked out some different modes of transport we set off this week for Australia.  We have looked at koalas, kangeroos and snakes but kept away from the Black Widow spiders ... we have sampled some Australian delicacies including some Anzac biscuits as Australia and New Zealand held their commemorative services for those who lost their lives in Gallipoli in 1915 on 25th April.

The recipe is as follows - (to make around 20 biscuits)

85g Porridge oats
85g desicated coconut
100g plain flour
100g caster sugar
100g butter
1 tbsp golden syrup
1 tsp bicarbonate soda

Pre heat oven to 180 deg
Mix oats, coconut, sugar and flour in a bowl
In a pan melt butter add golden syrup.  dissolve the bicarbonate of soda in 2 tbsp boiling water stir this into butter and syrup mixture.
Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the butter mixture.  Stir gently to combine.
