Funfetti For Fabulous Writers!

I made this cute Funfetti Cake for my beautiful class! They did so so well with their writing samples (assessment) today! The poor things had been used to writing recounts their whole schooling lives and had suddenly been required to write narratives! 

We only had about three weeks to practice the basics of a piece of narrative writing. I drilled in the structure into them everyday: Intro, Problem, Action, Solution. They were so sick of it, but it worked! 

For the test they were given a prompt in the form of a photo, and had to create a narrative story based around that photo. Our assessment photo was title 'The Bush', which was basically two kids walking into the forest. 

Reading their stories was probably the highlight of the year! They were so creative, clever and oh so beautiful! When I have a chance I will attach a few pieces of writing.

I am so happy, and so proud. Go Room Fourteen! :)

The Cutest Mini Donuts

Good things come in small packages right? These teeny weeny morsels are a mouth full of goodness! I have been wanting to make mini donuts for a while but had never really tried up until last weekend! 

I discovered this magic machine on one of the many occasions where I had been dragged along to Mitre 10 (thank goodness they sell homeware).  I would usually go for the mini donut pan instead of this little machine that makes six donuts at a time, but I though this could be fun thing to use in my class as well!
