This week the children in Class 2 have been making apple tarts for our school Harvest Celebration on Friday which was held in aid of the McMillian Cancer Charity.
We started off by picking apples from the tree in our school garden.
Everyone took a turn at peeling an apple..
and then we chopped them ready for stewing.
We had to separate eggs for the custard filling..
it was quite a tricky job but we managed it brilliantly.
This was a new skill for many of the children.
We had to use our maths skills to read the scales when measuring out the sugar.
We had to look carefully and check that the measurements were correct.
It was a real team effort.
We took turns with the mixing.
The children talked about the different ingredients they were using. The vanilla had a very interesting smell!
We spooned the apple mixture carefully into the pastry cases...
and had fun piping the custard onto the top!
I'm sure you will agree that the children have used many skills and worked brilliantly as a team this week. Our apple tarts soon disappeared at the coffee afternoon and they tasted delicious.
