PANCAKE DAY! (March-2009)
Last Tuesday, girls from 5 years planned to raise money for the National Children's Hospital in Tallaght. The girls in LCA decided to make pancakes for all of us on Pancake Tuesday. We also decided to bring in 2 euro each to give to the hospital.
We made the pancakes in Home Economics class. We set up the tables for the class and weighed the ingredients. Then, we sieved the flour in a mixing bowl and added baking powder. We broke eggs into the mixing bowls and added vanilla essence into it. After that, we stirred while adding milk slowly. When this was done, we covered the bowls with cling film and put it in the fridge. After preheating the cooker, we took it out of the fridge again. We oiled the frying pans and added the mixture after measuring it out in measuring jugs. Finally, we gathered the toppings, including cream, jam, lemon juice and syrup. The next day, it was a Pancake Day. The lunchroom was decorated with balloons. We had seen the girls working hard at making pancakes, and Ms Boylan making cream and helping the girls. When it was a break-time, all of us were waiting for pancakes, but they were a bit late because the Home Economics girls had to put the pancakes on a plate and get things ready. At last, the girls brought in the pancakes and there were loads of them and lots of choices of what to put on them. The room had a huge heap of pancakes. We each gave 2 euro and got our pancakes. We were so full after eating it. Some girls had 2 pancakes because they loved it so much. It was a good idea to make them in school, because it encouraged everyone to buy and eat the pancakes. The room was full of excitement and enjoyment! We enjoyed our day, and we're glad that we raised the money for the hospital in Tallaght. Anne-Marie, Paula and Laura
