Contractions

Christmas cookies

Yesterday we went to the Science room and made some cookies. We used lots of ingredients and equipment.
First we put the butter into a bowl.

Then we added sugar and took turns beating them together.



Next we sifted the flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, mixed spice and baking powder into a bowl.

We mixed the butter and the flour together and made little dough balls.
We squashed the dough balls down with our palms and used a cookie cutter to cut out star shapes.

Finally, we iced the cookies and decorated them with dried apricots, walnut pieces, sprinkles and lollies.


They looked so delicious that we wanted to eat them straight away but we decided to wait and share them with our families at our afternoon tea.

Thank you for coming everyone!
We hoped you liked our cookies. 


Buddy time

First we picked some snow pea flowers from our garden before taking them to Room 19 with our handmade cards.
