Making Bread, Butter and Jam
We have been learning about farms recently. So today we made our very own bread, butter and jam.
We made the butter by whipping cream and salt together and we made the jam by mashing strawberries, raspberries together with sugar.
Here is the recipe for the bread:
540g plain flour
7g sachet of yeast
2 teaspoons of sugar
1 teaspoon of salt
1 and a half cups of warm water.
1. Add the yeast and sugar to the water and leave for 5 minutes.
2. Add the flour and salt to a bowl. Mix.
3. Add the liquid to the flour mixture.
4. Mix for 5 minutes.
5. Place on a floured surface and knead for 5-10 minutes.
6. Leave the dough in a warm place to rise for an hour or more.
7. Shape dough into a loaf and bake in 180 degree oven for half an hour.

Poems for Speech and Drama exam
The Wrong Start
By Marchette Chute
I got up this morning and meant to be good,
But things didn't happen the way that they should.
I lost my toothbrush,
I slammed the door,
I dropped an egg on the kitchen floor,
I spilled some sugar
and after that I tried to hurry
and tripped on the cat.
Things may get better. I don't know when.
I think I'll go back and start over again.
SLEEPY TOWN
By Marjory Royce
Sleepy Town is very nice,
At breakfast you have strawberry ice,
For dinner there is Apple Foam,
A thing you never get at home.
And all the meals are served by cats
Wearing little sailor hats.
You must try with might and main
To catch that very special train,
The engine driver is a Hare,
The railway guard is a baby Bear.
Shut your eyes and you'll be there!
Stories
By John D. Sheridan
Last thing at night,
Before we go to bed,
Mum tells stories
Out of her head.
We all sit quiet,
We don’t make a sound –
Some on chairs
And some on the ground;
Keeping very still
And with no wish to play,
For this is the happiest
Hour of the day;
When we gather round the fire,
Before we go to bed,
And Mum tells stories
St Brigid's Day Crosses
We have been learning about St Brigid, who is our school's Patron Saint. We made St Brigid's crosses from matchsticks.

Words for Christmas performance
YMCA
Young man, there's no need to feel down.
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground.
I said, young man, 'cause you're in a new town
There's no need to be unhappy.
Young man, there's a place you can go.
I said, young man, when you're short on your dough.
You can stay there, and I'm sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time.
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
They have everything for young men to enjoy,
You can hang out with all the boys...

And just go there, to the Y.M.C.A.
I'm sure they can help you today.

Young man, I was once in your shoes.
I said, I was down and out with the blues.
I felt no man cared if I were alive.
I felt the whole world was so jive...
That's when someone came up to me,
And said, "Young man, take a walk up the street.
There's a place there called the 'Y.M.C.A.'
They can start you back on your way."
