Today we all said farewell to Kayleigh. This is her last week at school …
she’s off to Australia next week! We’ll really miss her, but it’s fantastic
that she can keep in touch by posting her adventures on her individual
blog. She’s already made friends over there because we are in touch
with the AllStars
Check out the comments
she’s been receiving! She’s going to a different part of Australia (they’re in Sydney, she’s off to Perth), but maybe they’ll meet up sometime – who knows!
Mrs V made some Anzac biscuits and even some Lamington cakes.
We found the recipes for them here …. They were yummy!!
Anzac Biscuits
Traditional biscuits baked by anxious wives and mothers during World War I, packed in food parcels, and sent to the Australian soldiers in the trenches.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup rolled oats
3/4 cup desiccated coconut
1 cup plain flour
1 cup sugar
125g (4oz) butter
2 tablespoons golden syrup
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda, 1 tablespoon water
Preheat oven to 300F (150C)
Mix oats, flour, sugar and coconut together.
Melt syrup and butter together.
Mix soda with boiling water and add to melted butter and syrup.
Add to dry ingredients.
Place 1 tablespoonfuls of mixture on greased tray (allow room for spreading).
Bake for 20 minutes.
Loosen while warm, cool on trays.
(makes about 35)
Hello,
Your ANZAC biscuits look yummy – we might have to make some too! Sounds like you had a really good day – I’m sure Kayleigh will remember it forever.
We are all very lucky that even when we travel far away we can still keep in contact with our friends – no matter where they are in the world.

Its so exitng that Kayleigh is coming to Australia, it would be so cool if she was coming to Sydney.
