Meringue recipe
I have been asked by a few children for the recipe we used for our meringues. It was just the recipe from the Edmonds book: 2 egg whites and half a cup of castor sugar. Beat the egg whites (slowly at first apparently) until they are stiff and then gradually add the castor sugar. Cook at 150 degrees for about half an hour. Enjoy!!!

International Dot Day- Art- Starting From A Dot
Tomorrow is International Dot Day. Schools across the globe will be reading, "The Dot" by Peter H Reynolds. The author has challenged us to make our mark. This story links to the character strengths of bravery and creativity...
"The Dot is the story of a caring teacher who dares a doubting student to trust in her own abilities by being brave enough to “make her mark”. What begins with a small dot on a piece of paper becomes a breakthrough in confidence and courage, igniting a journey of self-discovery and sharing, which has gone on to inspire countless children and adults around the globe."
