Creative Homework Time

Now we have two kids coming home with creative homework! I still love crafting and making with them and we have fun doing it. I feel sorry for George because he wants creative homework too but doesn't start school yet.

It's a shame they won't always feel this way about homework! It's not how I remember it!

Jack's topic is Romans so he wanted to make a shield. Judging by Facebook a lot of his pals have gone the same way. I think they're planning on making themselves into a Roman army!

Tom's topic is the Geat Outdoors and he needed to make a tent or shelter that would protect some Lego men from the rain. He says they are going to pour water on them to see if they work!

Fun foam was their material of choice. PVA glue just doesn't hold it together well enough so Freddie and I went on a little trip to town this morning to buy a glue gun. I only burned myself once (over three fingers and a thumb) which was enough for the kids to not want to touch it. Not the best way of teaching them, but oh well.

Not a bad way to spend a few evenings with my boys! (Apart from the whole burned fingers part, ouchie)



Facebook has changed it’s policy for posts to Facebook pages like mine. They are only showing posts to a few likers unless I pay to boost the views. Since I don't earn money from my blog (or at least not much, not even enough to buy one posh a coffee a week) I wont be doing that. The best way to make sure you will see my blog posts is to subscribe by email up there on the right. I usually only email once a week and include an invitation to my blog hop so you can share your posts too. 

 You can also go to my page, hover over the “liked” button and select get notifications. Then you will see my posts and status updates in your notifications. Mumma Walker on Facebook

Recipe: Pigsty Pie

This is one that we made up, although we are far from the first or only people to make a pie using pork or pork mince and call it a Pigsty Pie. So let's just say that this is our version of it. It smells great and reminds me of stuffing at Christmas, making it feel much more "naughty" than it is! This serves four people and it a nice 9 points per serving. You will need these for the mash: 400g potatoes 400g sweet potatoes 4-5 good sized carrots Salt Pepper Nutmeg Simply chop the roots, boil in salted water until tender, and mash! Add salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste. The pie filling: 10 sprays low fat cooking spray (e.g. 1 cal) 1/2 lb lean pork mince 2 onions, finely chopped 3 apples, diced 1 leek, chopped 5-6 big mushrooms 2 tbs plain flour 1 tsp sage 1 tsp parsley Salt Pepper 1 vegetable stock cube 1/2 hot water 2 tsp English mustard Fry the onions in the cooking spray until they start to soften, add the mince. Once the meat starts to colour add the apple, leek and mush
