Hallowe'en comes early in St Joseph's. This week pupils will make a traditional Irish brack. They will be using their skills to measure, mix ingredients, use the hob and set the oven.
The tried and trusted recipe is here to download. It includes graphics to help the pupils follow the steps. The pupils will get some brack to take home. It should keep for a few days. For safety reasons we will not be putting in rings in the bracks.

We are making traditional Irish fare this week. What could be more Irish than brown soda bread. There are lots of recipes for brown bread. The one we are using is easy to make and includes lots of healthy seeds. The pupils who make this will have the recipe in their cookery folders. 
In making the bread the pupils will practice measuring ingredients using a scales, a measuring jug and measuring spoons.


Other pupils will make a bread pudding. This is a healthy alternative to the traditional bread and butter pudding since the butter is replaced with a banana, apple juice and mixed fruit. 
The pupils have pictures of the ingredients in their folders. This is a photo of the recipe for you to try with them at home.
