Etiquette, first aid and apple crumble!

Hi everyone!
So last Wednesday we had a full day of workshops in school. They were on etiquette, first aid and positive parties! They were really good and I really enjoyed them.

The etiquette workshop was mainly on deportment, which is how you walk and how you hold yourself. We walked up and down the second year mall and they taught us how to carry ourselves and how to walk with poise! Then we had to do the same thing in high heels!

The next workshop was positive parties which, basically, was about having a positive outlook on life. We had a great time dancing and listening to music, while learning about positivity in a party-like environment! Then, to top it all off, we all got sweets!

Our last workshop was first aid. Our instructor Garry was very friendly and funny.
We learned basic first aid skills such as how to put an arm in a sling and how to place someone in the recovery position.We also learned what to do if someone has a seizure and how to perform CPR.

Overall, I really enjoyed the day of workshops and I'm really looking forward to the next workshop day coming up!

When I came home that afternoon, I decided to make an apple crumble. I went outside and picked some apples from our tree and made the crumble mixture.When it came out of the oven
I dished it up and sat down for a very relaxing evening!

Apple crumble recipe:
Ingredients
3-4 apples
100g golden caster sugar
150g plain flour
75g butter (plus extra for greasing)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Method


  1. Preheat your oven to 180C and grease an ovenproof baking dish with butter.
  2. Place the butter and flour in a bowl and rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  3. Stir half of the sugar into the butter and flour mixture.
  4. Peel, core and slice the apples and place them in the greased dish.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining sugar and cinnamon (if using) over the apples and then evenly spread the crumble mixture over the apples.
  6. Place the crumble in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes until golden brown on top.
*TIP* best served warm, straight from the oven, with cold custard or whipped cream.
