Today, we made this recipe for our Procedural Writing. We followed all the steps and made sure we had good handwriting. As we were writing it in to our hard back copy, our teacher Mrs. Dynan was making the cake at the front of the classroom. We then helped to crush the biscuits and stir the mixture. Around three hours later, we all got to eat it. It was the best chocolate biscuit cake we have ever had.

This week in 5th and 6th Class we were learning about the European Union (EU). There are 27 member states in the European Union and luckily, there are 27 students in 5th and 6th class so everybody got a Country from the European Union. We each had to fill out information about the Countries in the European Union. We learned the Capital, Currency, Languages, Population, Rivers, Mountains and famous Landmarks of each of the countries.

Here are the European Countries and their Capitals:

• Ireland (Dublin)
