HOW TO MAKE THE PERFECT CURRY

 

  1. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan and very gently fry the garlic and ginger for about a minute, stirring constantly. Don’t allow them to brown.

  2. Stir in the curry powder, chilli and tomato purée and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly until the tomato purée looks glossy.

  3. Add the sugar, salt and plenty of pepper, then stir in 150ml/¼ pint water and the cream. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly. Set aside.

  4. Stir-fry your choice of other ingredients (such as strips of chicken or meat, prawns, vegetables) in a large frying pan or wok until cooked through.

  5. Pour the curry sauce over the cooked meat or veg and return to a simmer. Cook for 1–2 minutes more, or until hot throughout. Add an extra splash of water if needed. Serve with freshly cooked rice or naan bread.

CRAFTS WITH LOLIPOP STICKS

  1. Make the ornaments: Use the paint to add a base Colour and allow to dry. Paint features on the ornaments -- we made Santa, an Elf, a Reindeer, a Snowman, and a Penguin
  2. Use the glue to attach googly eyes, pom-poms, pipe cleaners, and felt to add final touches
  3. Attach string to the back of each ornament using the glue.

CHRISTMAS

We watched the KS1 Nativity;

Away in a manger No crib for a bed The little Lord Jesus Laid down His sweet head

The stars in the bright sky Looked down where He lay The little Lord Jesus Asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing The Baby awakes But little Lord Jesus No crying He makes

I love You, Lord Jesus Look down from the sky And stay by my side Until morning is nigh

Be near me, Lord Jesus I ask You to stay Close by me forever And love me I pray

Bless all the dear children In Your tender care And fit us for heaven To live with You there
