Hello,

We hope you and your family are all well and safe. We wanted to send you some fun activity suggestions

for over half term. Please feel free to engage in these if you have a spare minute or two… you probably

have lots of ideas yourselves! We would love to see any photos of you enjoying your half term holiday.

Once you’ve made your

cupcakes, can you think of fun

ways to decorate them? Please

don’t forget to send in photos of

your baking creations.

Decorating biscuits is a quick, fun

and yummy activity to do. For this you need some biscuits (Rich Tea biscuits are the best for this) icing sugar,

food colouring to add to the icing sugar, and your favourite decorations or sweets. Any design, or patterns

will do – then enjoy!

Banana bread

Preheat your oven to 180C. Grease your tin with butter (really make sure all

of the tin is completely covered or your cake will stick).

Put the eggs, melted butter, sugar, flour, mashed bananas and chocolate

chips into a bowl and beat until totally combined. Spoon the mixture into

the tin, smoothing the batter out with the back of the spoon.

Bake in the oven for 40-50 minutes. Leave to cool completely in the tin

before removing.

Ingredients:

Butter for greasing the tin

75 g Butter melted

100 g caster sugar

2 Medium eggs

225 g Self Raising Flour

3 Large bananas very

ripe, peeled and mashed

100g chocolate chips

75g of melted chocolate

to drizzle over the top

Quick, easy and delicious make your own pizza - all you need

is a baguette, cut to size, some tomato puree, grated cheese

and your favourite topping. Put the pizza on a baking tray and

bake for 6-8 minutes, until the cheese has melted. (you need

an adult to help for this part and don’t forget all cooking times

may vary).

Fairy cakes

Ingredients:

110g (4oz) Self-Raising Flour 110g4oz) Butter, softened 110g (4oz) Caster Sugar 2 Eggs, lightly beaten

Add eggs a little at a time Place 18 paper baking cases into bun trays. Spoon in the mixture, filling about two-thirds of the cases. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until well risen and golden brown. Place on a wire rack to cool.

to send in photos of what you have made.

Simple and fun craft ideas…

Challenge 1

How many different toilet roll animals

can you make?

Challenge 2

crawly friends. You will need some

help from an adult to cut a plastic

bottle. Fill with natural materials from

outside.

Create a funky letter for your name.

Cut out your initial from some

cardboard then have fun

decorating. Cover it in wool or scraps

of material. You could even glue

sticks over it and then paint it.

permission, watch ‘Red Ted Art’ on Youtube,

and learn how to make Pom poms to make a

keyring Emoji.
