Children In Need

School

On Friday 13th November at school we could dress up as a super hero, have mad hair or wear spotty clothes.

I went as Batman and I wore a Children In Need badge with spots on it.

My Pudsey badge

Bake Sale

At home I made some Lemon and Vanilla cupcakes for the school bake sale with Smarties on top and sugar paper Pudsey’s.

I made them by mixing butter, sugar and flour then mixed the vanilla extract in with the eggs.

My favourite part of making them was icing them and putting the smarties and Pudsey’s in the cupcakes.

In the pleasure land I found a hexagon of strange mirrors.

Sky High Adventure

On Friday 16th October 2015 I went to Sky High Adventure at Droylsden near Manchester.

Sky High Adventure

When I got there I was terribly exited to start doing things that I was trembling all over!

Bouldering

Similar to a climbing wall I climbed up and did things the instructer shouted. (e.g. “Take your right foot and left hand off. Put your right hand on a green hold” or “Rub your nose with your right hand!)”. Then I jumped off the wall onto a colosall black mattress thing.

Bouldering

CLIP ‘N CLIMB

Clip’n’climb is fun for all climbers to have a brilliant time, with harnesses I was safe, but made sure I had clipped onto my harnesses correctly, so I was ready to climb.

Clip’n’climb

Climbing

Soft Play

The Soft Play course has lots of obstacles, slides, things to climb,a zipwire and loads of other things to do there is even a football pitch with two nets and a basketball goal with a ball.

Activity choices are:

Spiral Slide
Rotating Puzzle
Baby Balance
Spider’s Web
Balance Beams
The 2 Lane Slide
Sports Pitch
Soft Play

I did all of the things in it.

HIGH ROPES

In the heights of Sky High I wasn’t afraid, because I pretended to fly as I defeated the thrilling obstacle course in the air. BUT I DID NOT LOOK DOWN!!!! From Ropes to tunnels and lots of other obstacles I battled my way through the High Rope course.

You are sure to have fun participating in the Wonderful things at Sky High Adventure like I did! To find out more click here.

My favourite thing was the Clip’n’climb, because it’s challenging and they are all different levels for climbers any age. Just make sure when you go on the Soft Play you don’t walk into the Toddlers Area that has a ball pool!

1 Sachet of icing mix
1 Sachet of sponge cake mix
1 sheet of Waferettes

What I will need:

1 medium egg
Water
Bun tray

What I used

Method

For the cup cakes…

Firstly I put the oven on 190° C and washed my hands.
Secondly I put the blue cup cake cases in a bun tray ready for later.
Then I emptied the sponge cake mix sachet into a bowl, added 1 medium egg and 4 tablespoons (60 ml) of water.
After that I mixed it together and whisked it for about one minute until the mixture was lovely and creamy.
Me doing the mixing
Next I carefully shared the sponge cake mixture between the 6 cup cake cases.
Then I let it bake in the centre of the oven for 15 to 20 minutes until they rose up and went golden brown.
Afterwards I took them out of the oven and left them to cool down completely.

For the icing…

I made my icing by putting the icing mix in a bowl and adding 2-3 teaspoons (15ml) of water…
Then I mixed it carefully until it got thick but pourable
Using a spoon I divided the icing equally between the cooled cakes then added the waferettes to decorate and complete my MINION cup cakes.
