Anzac Day

We learned about World War 1. Mrs Davies read us the story about Simpson and his donkey.

Jack Simpson was  a famous Australian soldier. He carried wounded soldiers on his donkey. He rescued over 300 men at Gallipoli before sadly being killed himself.

We compared the food we eat in a day for breakfast, lunch and dinner with the food the soldiers had to eat. They ate bully beef and hard biscuits.

Every class put together some crosses, which we put altogether to remember the people who lost their lives in World War 1.

            

We made some delicious Anzac biscuits.

                            

Here is the recipe if you would like to make some.

1 cup rolled oats
1 cup plain flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup desiccated coconut

2 tablespoons golden syrup
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

Steps
1. Mix together the oats, flour, sugar and coconut in a bowl.

4. Pour the heated mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix well.
5. Put teaspoons of the mixture onto a greased oven tray or a tray lined with baking paper.
