Week Commencing 4th May
Friday 8th May
Good morning Oak 3.
Happy VE day! There is no 'work' set today as it is a bank holiday, but I have put a few optional VE day activities below should you wish to celebrate at home. We hope you have a well-earned break this bank holiday weekend and enjoy the sunshine.
Make Lemonade
You will need;
3 lemons
2 oz / 55g granulated sugar
2 pints / 1.2 litres water
Method
1. Peel the rind from the lemons and cut them into 1cm slices.
2. Place the lemon rinds in a bowl and sprinkle the sugar over them. Let this stand for about an hour.
3. Boil the water and then pour over the sugared lemon rinds. Allow this mixture to cool and then strain.
4. Squeeze the lemons into another bowl. Pour the juice through a sieve into the sugar mixture. Stir well, pour into a jug and pop it in the fridge. Serve with ice.
Carrot Scones
You will need;
12 tbsp self raising flour & 1 teaspoon baking powder – sifted together
2 tbsp butter (or margarine)
4 tbsp sugar
8 tbsp grated carrot
A few drops of vanilla essence
English Heritage Raspberry Preserve
Method
1. Pre-heat oven to gas mark 6 / 200°C. Grease a baking tray.
2. Leave the butter out so that it becomes nice and soft to work with - this makes it easier to mix in the sugar. Beat these until they are light and creamed.
3. Add in the grated carrot, a bit at a time. It won’t look like the prettiest thing in the world – but stick with it. Add in the vanilla.
4. Slowly add the sifted flour. The more you beat, the more moisture the carrots will release to bind the mixture together. You will be left with a ball of sticky carrot-flecked dough.
5. Pinch and roll the desired amount between your hands. This recipe should make around 12 scones.
6. Place on baking tray and sprinkle with a little sugar (optional). Cook in the centre of the oven for about 20 minutes.
7. Once firm on top and at the sides, remove from the oven and cool before serving with raspberry preserve.

Good morning Oak 3 I hope you had a nice weekend and are looking forward to the week ahead. In literacy we will be studying the story ‘The Mousehole Cat’ which is linked to our topic: Storms and Shipwrecks. In maths, we will be dividing by using a method called chunking, and revising the grid method that we learnt last week.
