Anzac Biscuits

To celebrate Anzac Day we all mad Anzac Biscuits this week. We read an article about how Anzac biscuits were made and sent to the soldiers in World War I. We learnt that they had biscuits to eat that were not very nice. They were so hard that the soldiers had to crumble them up into their porridge to make them soft enough to eat. They were called Hard Tack Biscuits or Soldier's Biscuits.

The women left behind in New Zealand and Australia baked biscuits to send to the soldiers. Anzac biscuits lasted a long time.

 A very big Thank you to Mrs Bradley, Mrs Ash and Mrs Blundell who all came in to help students make Anzac Biscuits. On Tuesday a group made Anzac biscuits, the same as the ones in the Journal articles that we read. On Wednesday another group made some gluten free biscuits and on Thursday 2 groups made some biscuits from a recipe that was in the newspaper. They were all slightly different, tasted great and made the classrooms smell delicious.
