Miss Phippard and Miss Paice were the teachers in charge of this boarders activity and equally seemed to really enjoy it. The kids especially enjoyed the messiness of the cooking as they got a chance to get their hands dirty (and also the eating part of course).
Fortunately we had one of the skilled All Hallows' cooks, Susanne, to help with all the tricky bits in the ingredients and also to assist in keeping everything under control. The Christmas aprons and jumpers, as well as some carols from the radio going on in the background created a very festive atmosphere in the kitchen. Some of the children (and teachers) were even singing!
The children soon began to find their inner chef as they started weighing and stirring in butter, fruits, flour and brandy (carefully distributed by Susanne). Soon, the figgy puds were poured into a pot, wrapped up and labelled - ready for the final preparations and to be later devoured by the proud and hungry cooks of All Hallows!
After a busy afternoon, some of the boarders - as well as Miss Paice and Mrs Barber - headed to St Bede's to try out 'Just Dance' on the Wii console. I have to say, there were many hilarious dance moves being done by the children! They absolutely loved it.
A big thank-you to the lovely Lucy Lovick who generously helped me finish this boarders blog!
Signing off,
Miss Donato :)
