A few interesting art competitions have come to my attention this week. The first is from our local Credit Union – nice to support a local business at this time:

Here are two others that I believe are also very worthwhile;

Why not give some of them a go – you could do this instead of some of the suggestions that your class teachers are sending home this week.

Flapjacks

Ingredients:

  • 120g porridge oats
  • 60g softened butter
  • 60g light brown sugar
  • 1-2 tbsp golden syrup or maple syrup

Method:

  1. *Heat oven to 200c. Gather the ingredients and equipment needed.
  2. Measure the ingredients using a weighing scale. *Put the butter, sugar and syrup in a saucepan. Mix together until the butter is melted.
  3. Add your porridge oats and mix everything really well.
  4. Grease a baking tin and pour the mixture in pushing everything down with the back of a spoon.
  5. *Cook for 10 minutes until golden brown.
  6. The mixture will be soft when it is removed from the oven. This is normal and will harden as it cools.
  7. Enjoy!

Movie Recommendation

  • Charlotte’s Web (Netflix).

I hope you enjoy watching this movie. You can write or type a Movie Review after watching your Movie of choice. RTE also have kids/family movies on during the week if you do not have access to Netflix.
