Week 7

This week we have been thinking about how things are different today compared to when our grandparents were at school .

Here are a few things that we have come up with.....

They didn't have many toys......we have heaps!

They got the strap at school.....we don't!....Phew!!

They had to walk to school.....we come in cars

There was no TV.....some of us have a TV in our bedroom!!!

Movies were in black and white.....now they are all in colour

Money was called pounds and pence.....now it is dollars and cents

They had heaps of chores to do.....some of us don't have to do anything at home to help!

Each week we are baking a recipe that our grandparents sent.

This week we baked a recipe from Rachel's Nan called Rock cakes.

The ingredients were....butter, currants, peel, sugar , baking powder, egg, flour, and milk.

We mixed all the ingredients together,then put them in teaspoon lots on a tray.

They were scrumptious....thank you Rachel's Nan!

Measuring the flour ....

Rubbing the butter into the flour....

Beating the egg and milk together.....

Final mix...

Ready for the oven...

Enjoying Nan's rock cakes

Well Spring is finally here ...lets hope that the sun comes out for the weekend...especially for Fathers Day.

To all the Dads out there...have a fun day!
