Fruit cake for Christmas

Ariel: One day,in Novermber, my mummy, my brother, Atticus and me was making a fruit cake.

Atticus: It was not Christmas time, but it was near Chirstmas. My sister, Ariel, my mother and me made a fruit cake for Christmas.


How to make a fruit cake

1. Get a big metal cake making bowl.

2. Wash the bowl and dry it.



(My little brother was watching me drying the bowl)

3. You need the following:

Plain Flour


Butter




Eggs



Jams




A jar of fruits




These are the flavors for the cake but we are calling them magic potions.







4. We put the butter into the bowl and stirred the butter until it was nice and soft. Then we added in the magic potion.











5. We mixed the flour, baking powder, salts and other magic potion together.



Atticus: I added in the eggs and stirred and stirred. It was massy but quite fun because I always seperate the egg yolk from the egg white. I poked a hole in the egg and turned it around and let the egg white fell out instead of the egg yolk.















Ariel: I was shaking the flour into the fruit cake mixture.



















I took the fruit out of the jar and put it into the bowl. Atticus sprinkled the flour onto the fruit. After that, we added to the fruit cake mixture.

















Ariel :The most enjoyable part was licking the spoong after making the fruit cake.

NDP Family Day

On the 7th of July,we went to the National Day Parade (NDP) Family Show. Our maid, Aunty Juliet, went along with us. We wore red shirt because our Singapore flag is also red.

A man dressed as a fish was making ballons for everyone.

These are the ballons which the fish man gave us.



This man was acting as if war was coming. If he was pointing at me, I would put my hands up on purpose. The reason why I did not put my hands up taht time was because the sholdiers wern't looking at us.


We saw a helicopter pulling a big Singapore flag. The colour of the flag is red which is above a white part. It has a new moon and fiver stars in the red part.


My mother and I found the meaning of the flag from the web.

The flag consists of two equal horizontal sections, red above white. In the upper left section are a white crescent moon, and five white stars forming a circle. Each feature of the flag has its own distinctive meaning and significance. Red symbolises universal brotherhood and equality of man. White signifies pervading and everlasting purity and virtue. The crescent moon represents a young nation on the ascendant. The five stars stand for the nation's ideals of democracy, peace, progress, justice and equality.
