Cooking
This week Grade 4/5B made pizzas in Cooking! They were greatly enjoyed, with many asking for seconds, so the recipe is here if you would like to have a go at home. The pizza dough is an easy recipe that includes yeast, but does not need any time to rise. The students had a variety of toppings to choose from, including some herbs and veggies from our school garden, plus ham, cheese and pineapple. We also made chocolate balls, a very easy treat that involves no cooking.
