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.

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
Out of her head.
