Creativity at work

We have seen some stunning creations recently. I am so proud of all the things they have produced. Here are some decorated tiles.

And I couldn't resist showing you this little green man hiding under his umbrella from the rain!

Chocolate cake

Here is the recipe many of you wanted last Monday when you tried the delicious, moist, egg-free chocolate cake that Patricia made with the children.

Absurdly Easy Chocolate Cake
3 cups flour (680 grams)
2 cups sugar (450 grams)
6 tablespoons cocoa (100 grams)
2 teaspoons baking soda (10 cc's = 10 ml)
1 teaspoon salt (5 cc's = 5 ml)
3/4 cup vegetable oil (200 cc's)
2 tablespoon vinegar (30 cc's)
2 teaspoon vanilla (10 cc's)
2 cup cold water (480 cc's)
Directions: -
Mix the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients. Stir until smooth. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes in a lamington tin or it will make two layers of a two-layer 9-inch or 8-inch round cake, or one small sheet cake. When cool, frost it.

I did not get a chance to photograph it - it went too fast!

May and June

For all of you who have been anxiously awaiting an update on this page I do apologise. Here it is!

We have had a busy month with several different art projects attempted.

Firstly we had a go at wire sculpture. Here is one by BB.

We celebrated Reconciliation Week with dot paintings and learned that there are over 200 Indigenous languages in Australia but only 20 of them are still used strongly.

At the request of many of the children we decorated stones again - painting them and adding glitter highlights.

Cubby houses, iron-me beads and paper aeroplanes are also proving very popular at the moment.
