Christmas has arrived in Nursery and we have had an exciting time decorating our environment, three Christmas Trees🎄 and wrapping presents 🎁
On Tuesday a magical door appeared and we wondered where it would lead and who was behind it - suggestions from the children were an ant, mouse, ghost, vampire, Shelby, Dave or Santa. The following day we discovered it was one of Santa's Elves who is coming from the North Pole every morning to spend the day with us in nursery then travelling back at night to tell Santa all about what he has seen. On Wednesday night he even flew down the illuminations and around Stanley Park on his way back to the North Pole. We decided to name our Elf Buddy, and today Buddy brought us some Christmas biscuit cutters so we decided to make biscuits for our special snack and everybody enjoyed them!
The biscuit recipe we used was:
Ingredients - 50g butter, 50g caster sugar, 1 egg and 140g flour.
We creamed the butter and sugar together then stirred in the egg. We then folded in the flour and formed our biscuit dough. We rolled out the dough on a floured surface then cut out the biscuits using Buddy's cutters. We placed the biscuits on a baking tray and baked them in the oven for 10 mins at 190C.
For this weekend's family challenge please can you post photos on Tapestry of your Christmas Tree and decorations and/or have a go at baking the biscuits we made. Don't forget to let know on Tapestry anything your child tells you about our busy week - thank you 😊
