Mon 18 May 2020Another impressive week of Eco Schools activities happening in all your homes, gardens and neighbourhoods. It is brilliant to see people entering every single week and also a huge well done to those entering for the first time this week. The Green House really stepped up this week with Jan, Jasmine, Juliana, Alistair, Ailsa, Jack and Zara getting involved in painting stones, hanging out the washing, making their names with sticks and helping with the recycling. For the Red and Blue Houses, we had Rebekah, John and Sarah who were busy helping to put out the recycling bin, making a fabulous sign for their house and a brilliant animal feeder from junk materials. The Yellow House entries came from Hanna, Ben and Ryan who were enjoying time outside making their initials and rescuing a caterpillar. Special mention to Traffey the caterpillar, who has been made a new habitat and is now enjoying life at the Lamont house!
A huge thanks again to all the adults at home for taking the photos and finding the time to email them in, your effort and encouragement is very much appreciated. Keep up the fantastic Eco work Team Bocombra!

Quesadillas
Sat 16 May 2020These are a great lunch idea and good for using up leftover cooked chicken. The beauty of these is that you can put whatever filling you like inside them.
what you need (to make enough for 2 people)
2 flour tortillas
75 g cheddar cheese
leftover chicken, shredded
red pepper,sliced
sweet chilli sauce
what you need to do...
- Heat a frying pan over a medium heat, if it's too hot you will burn the tortilla.
- Lay one of the tortillas on the pan and put on the diced chicken, pepper, cheese and finally the grated cheese. Place the other tortilla on top and press down gently.
- fry without oil, for about 3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is crisp, the cheese is melted and the chicken is heated through thoroughly.
- to serve, cut the quesadilla into eighths (or quarters) and arrange on plates. It can be served with a side salad and coleslaw.
Try using other ingredients that you like!
Enjoy :)

Scones
Thu 07 May 2020What you need:
400g SR Flour
1 teasp baking powder
Pinch of salt
75 g butter, cold and cubed
70g caster sugar
170 ml buttermilk
flavour of your choice
what you need to do:
- preheat oven to 200 C
- put flour, baking powder and butter into a bowl. Rub in butter until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
- add salt and sugar
- add whatever flavour you would like - sultanas, cherries, white chocolate and raspberry, mars bar....you choose!
- now add milk - you may not need all of the milk. You should have a soft, sticky dough
- Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface, knead very lightly until it comes together but do not overwork!
- flatten down with the palm of your hand to about 2 cm thick
- cut into as many rounds as possible with a cutter. it helps to dip the cutter in the flour to prevent the mixture sticking.
- place scones on a lightly floured baking sheet, brush with milk and bake for about 10 - 12 minutes. Your scones should be golden in colour and risen.
- Enjoy :)
