Christmas Cakes
We made our Christmas cakes today. We used 4 eggs in our cake, they were a lot harder to crack than we thought, we had to bash them hard against the jug to break them. We put sugar, butter and flour in beside the eggs and mixed it all round. We put lots of dried fruit in too, we sorted some of the different kinds out, there were red cranberries and big, yellow raisins and small black raisins as well as brown sultanas. It was hard work mixing them all into the cake mixture and we thought it looked really yucky but it smelled ok.
Children in Need
We’re getting ready for our Children in Need cake sale on Friday (12:15 at the Community Centre) – Pudsey bear shortbread biscuits were in our oven today!

Butter
We made butter at Playgroup today, we spread it on our crumpets at snack time and it was very yummy

Becoming Independent
We like to be outside as much as we can at playgroup but getting 10+ young children dressed to go outside in a Scottish climate can be time consuming. Getting dressed and managing their own clothing is a skill we want to develop and encourage in our children. Consequently we’ve been practising getting our own jackets on when we go outside to play using this slip and flip technique. Lovely to see the satisfaction on our children’s faces when they can put their own jackets on.
