What's happening in AS Class 17/05/13

Mrs Saunders was very excited to be back at school today as she missed AS Class very much! We had a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious day looking at photos and learning lots of cool stuff about America and Canada where Mrs Saunders visited.

We made USA flags and made our own Canadian totem poles. Mrs Saunders had a special treat for us too - we got to eat maple syrup cookies made from REAL maple syrup from Canada. They were soooooo yummy that we wanted the recipe for ourselves. Please see below for the recipe that you can follow at home! Have a lovely weekend everybody! See you all on Monday. :-)
