spelt oaties

 These are really fun, quick to make and they taste great.


ingredients:
110g (4oz butter)
110g (4oz) soft brown sugar
175g (6oz) white spelt flour
175g (6oz) oats
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
2 tablespoons milk

Before you start, ask an adult to turn the oven on to warm up to 150c/130f/gas2


1. First you need to cream the butter and sugar together. I would recommend using a wooden spoon.
2. Then add the oats and mix together.


3. Now sieve the bicarbonate of soda with the flour.
4.Then add the milk to it.


5. Now squidge it together into one big lump.
6. Some people use a rolling pin and cut neat shapes, but we make little balls then squoosh them flat. 

They might look bit like this:


Cook them for 20 minutes..


Then you can eat them when they've cooled down.
I prefer them with fruit but my paraents like cheese and chutney.

If you have any recipes you'd like me to try, please let me know in the comments!

BON APPETIT!

liz earle halloween


In October I did a shoot for liz earle skincare for halloween and it has been posted on youtube here and the video is at the top of this page. It was definitely an unusual day for me.

 I went on the train to London with my dad, the studio was near a river in East London.


When I first got there I felt very nervous and scared but when I saw what they were going to do I felt excited and happy.



The studio was really plain, just plain white. There were cameras everywhere, it was really cool. There was a make-up artist that did the face paint and a lady that did the cleanse and polish to take the make-up off. It was a really good day. There were other children having it done, but with other halloween characters and they are on youtube too. All the people at the studio were really nice.


Have you done  any weird and wonderful adventures or just a fun day out?
Please tell me in the comments :-)

The Sea Waves

THE SEA WAVES


Seas that rumble,
Waves that swirl and twist as they go along through the booming sea,
Waves that roar like big cats,

Some seas are big,
Some seas are small tickling your feet,
Seas come up and come down,
Seas that are crashing against stranded rocks,
All different shapes and sizes,
Children screaming and running away from swirling waves,
Surfers surfing through GIANT waves,
Green seaweed swimming in the waves.

by birdie buttercup, age 8

to note: try listening to the video while you read the poem!

michael morpurgo book review.

I have just finished the book Kaspar prince of cats by Michael Morpurgo. I like the fact that Michael Morpurgo is really descriptive (but not as descriptive as David Walliams my favorite author.)


Whats the story about? 

The story is about a boy called Johnny Trott - an orphan. He works a bell boy in the savoy hotel. He really wants to find his mum and thinks an extremely rich lady (a Russian Countess) who looks after Kaspar the Prince of Cats is his mum. Sadly she gets killed by a bus and Johnny Trott has to look after Kaspar. Then he makes friends with Lizziebeth.. The story follows the exciting adventures of Johnny, Lizziebeth and Kaspar have together.

Who are the main characters?
The main characters are Johnny Trott, Lizziebeth and Kaspar.



Why/why not I liked the book?
I liked it because it had bits about the sinking of the Titanic and I find the Titanic really interesting.


I am not going to tell you the best bits because that will spoil it for you.

Please give me ideas of what book to read next in the comments because I am looking for more books to read.
