Cheesey Rice Krispies biscuits helped us use up some ingredients left over from our Big Breakfast on Saturday. The recipe was all weighed out in cups so the children had to think how high to fill it to make it half a cup full. There was lots of scrunching and rolling practice today with some very tasty looking biscuits coming out of the oven.
You can find the recipe on our Facebook page

The children have been busy in outdoor adventure with Jon making bug house's and Quesada's on the fire pit. Inside we have been baking coconut and cherry cake, mixing apple juice and sparkling water to make 'fizzy apple'. We have also been printing with fruit and vegetables and making huge towers with the big bricks in the garden.
Today we made fruity, nutty, seedy, oaty cookies that are packed full of good energy ingredients. The children enjoyed getting stuck in with squeezing the honey, and tasting or smelling each ingredient as they mixed them in. The recipe and photos can be found on our Facebook page.
We have continue with Jon and our Outdoor adventures sessions on a weekly basis again this Pre-school year. The children access either an hour's session each week or a longer 2 hour session. During their Outdoor Adventures this year the children have explored mini beast's, made foot prints in clay, recorded that birds that they have seen in the garden and went on a bear hunt. The children have also experienced popping pop corn over a lighted fire - all highly supervised, whittled wood using a vegetable peeler, and made the most of what the weather has to offer them, from frosty days, rainy days and our favourite sunny days.
We've chopped, weighed, cracked, whisked and dolloped this morning making some delicious apple and cinnamon muffins.
This week we have made cheese scones with Jo, looked for bugs and leaves in the garden with Jon and Outdoor Adventures. We have also been experimenting in making our own play dough - some children made 'pizza' with their dough! We have also been practicing our songs for next weeks Harvest Service...
This week in Outdoor Adventures the weather was a little bit wet, but, that didn't stop the children having a great time with Jon. There were bug finger puppets and the children made hedgehogs with clay and sticks that they found in the garden.
Here are a few photo's of busy first week back, with a trip to Stokes last Friday to choose a piece of fruit for our snack! Each child paid for their piece of fruit, developing early maths skills. We also took time to stop and look in the windows of the shops as we walked along. We have had our first coffee morning welcoming new families and saying 'Hello' to those returning to us. We have been painting, in the garden enjoying the late summer sun, and using our lemon and orange scented play dough.
