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 ↓

2. Spread one side of each star with softened butter.
3. Dip bread in sprinkles
