Here are some examples of recent art and craft activities done in the Resource Rooms with Mrs Magnier and Mrs Rogers.

Everyone is really proud of what they have made!














Baking Time!

We made a really delicious Victoria Sponge cake. We decorated it with yellow butter icing and mini chocolate eggs. It was brilliant to make and even better to eat!

Method:
(1) Break the 10 eggs into a bowl. Add the milk and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk for roughly 25 seconds.

Did you know?
• 1.5 million people lived in cottages in Ireland in 1845.
• Cottiers lived in one room huts made of stone or turf.
• Cottiers didn’t pay rent. Instead they worked on the landlord’s farms. The family slept on beds of rushes.
• Tennant farmers’ cottages had no windows and only a hole in the roof as a chimney.
• Some people still live in thatched cottages today.
