Miss Powell runs an after-school club called "Book Cooks" with Year 3 students. She reads us a story and asks us lots of questions and then we cook something to do with the story. Last week, we read the story of "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, Very Bad, No Good Day" by Judith Viorst and then made some wonderful "Sweeten Your Day Treats" from marshmallows, Rice Krispies and M&Ms. We hope that all our mums, dads, brothers, sisters and other family members who tasted them suitably impressed!
