Guinea Pigs

Guinea Pigs

Room 7 had two special guests today, Nugget and Waffles. Room 7 and Blue Bubbles super Teacher Aid Mrs Megan brought in her two pet guinea pigs Nugget and Waffles and we loved spending time with them. They were very snuggly and scared but they loved eating all the vegetables we fed them, especially the celery. 

Music Day

Music Day

Yesterday we made shakers. We used stickers, colouring in pencils, pretty tape, toilet rolls and rice to make the noise. It involved a lot of cutting, colouring and concentration to make them. Afterwards we went into the music room and started learning the song 'Oh When the Saints' on the xylophones. We are getting really good. We will practice more next week and maybe we will perform it for you.

Ingredients

4 eggs

1 ½ cups Milk

½ cup Self raising flour

1 cup grated Cheese

1 Onion

6 rashers Bacon / ham

2 cups vegetables of your choice, peas, sweetcorn, spinach, capsicum etc

Parsley

Equipment needed

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180C and grease a large baking dish or muffin pan with butter/oil.

2. Put the eggs, milk and flour into a large bowl and mix together well until ingredients are well combined.

3. Add grated cheese.

4. Chop onion finely and chop up bacon. Add to a fry pan and cook for 5 minutes until the onion is softened and the bacon is beginning to brown. 

5. Then prepare a further two cups of vegetables (corn, peas, capsicum, spinach)

6. Add the onion, bacon and vegetables of your choice to the baking dish or place a small amount in the base of the muffin pan.

8. Bake for 40-45 minutes, you will know when it is ready when the quiche is set and golden. If making individual quiches in the muffin pan reduce cooking time to 20-25 minutes.

Teddy Bears Picnic

Today we had a wonderful adventure over to Dunkirk park with our teddies. We slapped on sunblock, slipped on our hat and took our teddies on an adventure. Miss Pryde read us a book then we got to introduce our teddy bears and talk about them a little bit. Afterwards we had lunch then we got to play. It was such a fun day out with our teddies. When we got back we got to eat our jelly from yesterday. It was a super fun day.
