Lots of Lemons Everywhere

Look what we made with the lemons that Sahara brought in from her garden:

Lemon Slice

Recipe

150g butter

1 cup flour

1/2 cup icing sugar

Topping

2 tablespoons of custard powder

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup lemon

1 tablespoon lemon zest

3 eggs

Melt the butter. Remove from heat and mix in flour and icing sugar.

Press the base into a square, lined cake tin. Bake in pre-heated oven

at 180 degrees C for 15-20 minutes.

Mix all the topping ingredients together until combined. Pour over base

and bake for a further 25 minutes until set. Cut into slices and enjoy.

Thank you to Sahara and family for the lemons from your garden.

Watch this space for more lemon recipes that the children have

experienced.
Thank you also to the Edmunds Cook Book for the recipe idea.

Sonny's Special Day

Sonny was making so much noise and so Maree had a quick look to see if he was ok. She thought he'd like a nice basin of water to splash around in and off she went to see what she could find.

Moments later she was back and added a nice ensuite to Sonny's cage. Good job he had a bath because soon afterwards Sonny had a visitor. He can be a very naughty bird sometimes, especially when he splashes everyone. Have a look at his video to see how much he enjoyed it:

Bushy Tales

An adventure was had by all today as we strolled through the trees at Motumoana Scout Camp and followed the path to an outside theatre. We sat and waited for our show to begin. We had a very interactive, fun time with Star and Fish from StarFish Magic. Have a look at our photo shory.

The Cicada Hunter

This is Reece and he is our very own cicada hunter. He can tell us so many interesting things about them, show us where to find them and even get them for us if we want one to hold for a little while. He also knows that they should be free once we have finished looking at them.

I know that Reece has had lots of practice catching cicadas and other bugs because his dad told me that he hunts for them at home with his brother and sometimes mum and dad too.

Have a look at the video for some useful cicada information from our expert cicada hunter:

Thank you Reece, you are the best cicada hunter indeed!
