Georgia's Marshmellow

For Masterchef Challenge I made some colourful marshmallow. It's really easy to make here's the recipe :

2 dessert spoons of gelatine
1 cup of cold water 
1 cup of sugar 
Food colouring

Soak the gelatine in the water for 15 minutes.
Once soaked add the sugar.
On the stove bring it to the boil and once it's boiling simmer for 10 minutes.
Wait for it to fully cool down and then you can add your food colouring.
Beat the mixture until it's thick and pour it into a tin.
Put in the fridge until it sets and then you have Marshmallow !

And They Called It Puppy Love...


Show prep has started!

Recently we have started practicing for the show later this term. Our song is "we're all in this together" from high school musical.
Our dance is coming together really well and there is a high level of enjoyment all around, the dance teacher Natalie said we were easily the best class.
For a snippet of what it looks like at the moment, click on the link below.
**PLEASE NOTE** This is definitely not our best practice!


Staff v Student Netball Game

On Friday 1st August, the A+B mixed netball team versed the staff in a game of netball.
As  you would think,there was quite a big height difference but the students persevered making some good intercepts,passes and shots,but so did (some of) the staff.
In the end,the teachers won 15-4, but team members from each team would beg to differ.
The real score was ?-6,but the staff did win either way due to Mr.Meads' amazing shooting skills.
