Cooking club is a reward for students who have been doing the right thing. It is a great reward because you get to have fun baking food and treats and then you get to eat them.
Here are some of the recipes from this term.
Last week some of us made Churro Mini Muffins. They were light and fluffy! DELICIOUS!
