This is where you can read Cati's latest news to find out what she has been up to. It is regularly updated so keep coming back to My School Lunch to find out more.
Cati is getting all prepared for Easter. She is looking forward to spending time with her family and is hoping the weather will be nice so she can visit some local attractions. Her favourite place to visit is Caerphilly Castle as she likes to learn about the history behind it.
Every year Cati and her mum make Easter nests to give as gifts to family and friends. It is an extra special treat. You could make Easter nests at home too using the recipe below. It's really quick and easy to do with the help of a grown up.
How to make Easter nests
What you will need:-
• Shredded Wheat (or similar cereal, broken up)
• Cooking chocolate
• Bun cases
• Mini eggs or little chicks for decoration
What to do:-
First of all your parent or guardian needs to melt the chocolate in a bowl over boiling water or in the microwave. When it's completely melted, mix the cereal and the chocolate together. Once all the cereal is covered, spoon the mixture into the bun cases and make a nest shape by pressing in the middle with a spoon. Put the nests in the fridge to set and then decorate with either little Easter chicks or mini Easter eggs.
How much do you know about Easter?
Have you been learning about Easter in school? Cati has learnt lots about it and found out some really interesting things. You can see her top five Easter facts below.
• At Easter we have two Bank Holidays. These are known as Good Friday and Easter Monday.
• Easter is known as a moveable feast as the date changes every year. It can be any date between 22nd March and 25th April. It is based on the lunar calendar (moon) so it always falls on the first Sunday following the full moon (after 21st March).
• The word for Easter in French is Paques (from the English word Passover).
• The first ever Easter eggs given were bird's eggs that were painted in bright colours so they looked like gifts.
• Roast lamb is the traditional meat for the main Easter meal. It is served with mint sauce and vegetables.
