Ideas from Our School Leaders

Hello everyone. Since we have been staying home and have time on our hands we have to be keeping occupied. I have come up with some ideas to do with your family and independently.

I think something great to do is cooking or baking. I have come up with some easy and fun recipes to do while in quarantine. It would be great if you could email Mr Stead mstead@sayarraville.catholic.edu.au or me estellep@sayrraville.catholic.edu.au some recipes that you have made or maybe some recipes recommended here!

Here are some recipes ↓

Starfish Fairy Bread!

12 slices bread thick

40 g butter softened

24 sultanas

4 tbsp sprinkles

Use a 9 cm star cutter to cut out a star from each slice of bread. Discard excess bread or eat it!
Spread one side of each star with softened butter.
Dip bread in sprinkles
Lastly add sultanas for the eyes! (This is optional. If u don’t like or don't have sultanas use

Chocolate Balls

250 g sweet plain biscuits crushed

2 tbsp cocoa

395 g condensed milk

1 cup coconut

Mix all the ingredients and shape into balls.
Place in the fridge for 15-30 minutes to harden.
Lastly roll in sprinkles or coconut!

Mars Bar Cars

12 Mars Bars

12 Arnott's Tiny Teddy biscuits

45 g Skittles

1/2 cup icing sugar

1/2 cup cocoa

Make a few holes on top of the Mars Bars with a skewer.
Push Tiny Teddy into holes as drivers.
Mix the icing sugar and cocoa with a little water.
Stick Skittles on sides of the Mars Bars with the icing to make the wheels and steering wheel if desired.

I would love to see your recipes and what you have created during quarantine. This can be art, cooking, music, lego and anything else that you have done to keep occupied. These will be featured in the newsletter and we are excited to see them.
