Apple Pie

"How to make an Apple Pie and See the World" is a cute geography book.  You get to travel the world for ingredients for an apple pie.  We read the book, did mapping, discussed different modes of transport, trading and made apple pie.

 

  We also discussed and mapped that we could get almost all the ingredients locally, within Australia. 

We used three different recipes, 1) from the back of the book, 2) Same recipe, but substituting gluten free flour and 3) an old family recipe.  No 1 & 3 each got an 8/10 rating and I rated the GF a 10/10.

Blogging - not so easy

So I have spent a number of hours trying to find my way around creating a blog, and it has been challenging to say the least.  I think I now have the basics in place, and the rest I will have to learn as I go along.  I don't know if there are any books on the subject, but will have a look when I go to the library.  I am happy to just practise putting my thoughts on paper and to use this as a form of  a homeschooling record.

New to the blogging world

Well this a completely insane idea to start a blog;  I am completely hopeless at writing and I have not the faintest idea how this blog thing works.  So here goes to attempting something so out of my comfort zone....  fish out of water.
