Product Information

Reception children also learnt to add and subtract using the, ‘part part whole model’. Many have practiced their fine and gross motor skills. Lots of hard work went in the making of, Mother’s Day cards and loads of discussions were held regarding keeping their Mothers’ Day cards safe and away from the prying eyes of their mums! Many declared it was just impossible to keep their cards hidden until Sunday as mums always find where things are! Some of the children’s ideas to hide their cards just until Sunday, so that they can surprise their mums’ with their super-duper surprise- their lovely cards, were to hide them in the darkest corner of their closets, under mums’ pillows, in the darkest corner of the cupboards and even to hide the cards under their duvets! Hope all the mums find their loving children’s beautiful cards and have the loveliest of Mother’s Day celebrations! Wishing you all the most memorable and enjoyable, ‘Mothering Sunday’! I grew up in the fifties, in a series of small towns in Western Australia, with three older sisters. As a child I drew constantly and compulsively, inspired by beautifully drawn schoolgirl annuals from England. I secretly devoured forbidden American comics, poring over the draughtsmanship. My task as a visual storyteller is to observe, record, and edit. Some images go straight from life into a book. Most need to be carefully sifted, reinvented, reorganized. Telling a story with words and pictures is a little like watching a movie, then selecting the evocative moment like a still taken from a film. I need to capture the moment that has clarity and simplicity, invites empathy, and allows the reader to bring her own knowledge to that moment, to enrich it, and develop it according to her own life experiences.

This can happen for a few reasons, like o verbeaten egg whites at the beginning can result in hollow macaron shells. Also, shells resting for too long during the drying period can result in hollow macarons. A 40-60 minutes resting period is usually enough. Plus, I pulled together a list of the 7 Most Common French Macaron Mistakes Everyone Makes and made a video on it to make everything even easier on you!

Just For You

Gemma is a baby who refuses to eat. Anything that is put in front of her gets thrown, smashed or given to somebody else! The family is really frustrated with Gemma’s behaviour and her refusal to eat. This changes when the family attend church and the woman stood in front of Gemma has fruit on her hat. Gemma tries to pull off the fruit but the hat falls off. As a result of this trip Gemma’s brother has an idea to turn a bowl upside and put the fruit on top of this so it looked like the hat-and it worked! As a young woman I was not very maternal, and intended not to have children. My first pregnancy was entirely unplanned. My books have largely been a celebration and savoring of the positive experience of parenthood I had not anticipated-the fun, warmth, and love. Designing picture books for young children, I am aware that such books are almost always shared by the child and a caring adult. I find the challenge of communicating with both child and adult-working on two levels in one book--a demanding, intriguing and rewarding task. I design picture books for children and adults because I depend on the adult to create the right atmosphere and help children read them. When this happens, it is a time for physical closeness and comfort, a quiet time for sharing ideas and feelings, for laughing and learning together. Anyone who takes time to share books with young children is rewarded and revitalized by the experience every time. This week Reception children have been reading the book, ‘Eat up Gemma’, written by Sarah Hayes. This book is a lovely story in which the whole family encourages Gemma to eat. Children have learnt about Baby Gemma, who has been mischievous – refusing to eat, throwing her breakfast on the floor, squashing her grapes, feeding her dinner to the dog. But one day, in church, her brother has a clever idea for getting Gemma to eat up. In the end, his plan is successful and Gemma finishes her food.

Use powdered or concentrated gel food coloring when coloring macarons. You don’t want to add a watery dye to your batter as it can change the texture of your French Macarons. Piping bag and Nozzle: For a more uniformed look to your macarons you will need to pipe them on the tray with a piping bag fitted with a nozzle. Don’t start making macarons without a piping bag to hand as this step is a MUST! Your oven temperature is possibly too high. It’s best to bake at a lower temperature (285 to 315°F [140 to 160°C], depending on your oven) for a longer period of time so that the shells rise slowly but consistently. Perhaps use a dehumidifier in the room when you are baking macarons during a rainy or humid day if you must! 6. Hollow MacaronsHand-Held Electric Mixer: Really useful for whipping up small amounts of egg whites and achieving the peak you want. I swear by my little hand mixer.

This is when you add your food coloring, too. The “skin” helps create that hardened shell that’s iconic of the macaron. Also, without proper “skin” development, when baking, the heat will escape from the top rather than from the bottom which creates the other iconic feature of the macaron — the “feet”.People preparing for the season ahead or events like triathlon, marathon, team sports or other sporting endeavors.

The book shows a valuable lesson of not wasting food and if you do, and refuse to eat your food how it impacts other people. The innovative idea of Gemma’s brother was received well by the children I read the book to with them thinking it was genius! The book is not really gripping as the story just follows Gemma not eating and then she does but the illustrations are captivating. When properly done, the batter should be shiny and flow like lava off the spoon. To test the consistency, gently lift some batter over itself in a slow stream. Once the ribbon of batter disappears into itself after 15 to 30 seconds then you’re ready to pipe. Do not overmix because deflating all the air will result in sad macarons. It takes practice to get this technique right. The main reason would be that the batter is too wet and runny. That is due to a few things: the meringue wasn’t dry enough when folded in, it’s a humid environment and/or the batter was overmixed. The viscosity of the batter is very crucial to ensure proper macaron making. Remember, you want that lava-like quality. Overmixing can result in flat macarons. After the dry ingredients and meringue are fully incorporated, macronage is the folding technique that ensures the proper batter consistency. Slowly fold the mixture using a thin metal spoon until it loosens a little and becomes smooth. This book is aimed at children around Key Stage One and Early Years. I enjoyed reading the book, especially the narration for Gemma’s brother as this demonstrated the frustration him and his family felt when Gemma would not eat. I really liked the fact that the thing that got Gemma eating was fruit on a hat-using fruit as the catalyst is reassuring and will impact children.
