First take two slices of bread. Spread one thickly with jam and the other with cream cheese. Engage willpower and try not to take a bite.....just yet.
Next, cut each slice into three strips. Turn and cut again into three strips. You should end up with 12 white squares and 12 red ones.
Now use your squares to make a chequerboard pattern. Admire your work, pose for the inevitable photo and eat. Yum.
Sorry mum if appetites were spoiled!

Art Soup
To make ART SOUP, all you need is a classroom full of enthusiastic six and seven year-olds and a basket of different vegetables.
First use your choice of sliced vegetables to make a face. Admire it, change the expression, clamour to have it photographed. It is OK to taste as you work! (Click on each child's blog to see the picture they made).
Next, wash the vegetables (after all that tasting!) taking care to remove any that might be more suitable for a salad (in our case radishes and cucumber).
Put the vegetables into two huge saucepans, each with a litre of water and two child-sized pinches of salt.
Set to simmer in the staff-room kitchen.
When the delicious smell of cooking wafts all the way along the corridor and up the stairs to Class 2i, it is probably ready.
Bring the saucepan into the classroom and blend the soup with the help of 'Brenda-the-Blender'. It is essential that everyone has a turn at using the blender - but do make sure that, however exciting it is, before the motor is switched on, the head (of the blender!) is submerged.....the teacher can only stand being splattered with near-boiling soup so often!
Once the soup is smooth, serve.
Delicious ART SOUP. Thoroughly recommended.
Here's the story:
Umar said, “Mira cut up all the vegetables.”
Max said, “We did not put the radishes in the soup.”
Fiona said, “ We put the radishes and cucumber together to make a salad.”
Dangi said, “ We had potatoes. We added salt and water to make the soup.”
There were other vegetables in the soup as well. There were carrots, cauliflower and celery. 18 children said that the tomatoes went into the soup but 6 said that they did not.
Tanmay told us that 2i went to the staff room to cook it.
After the cooking Per said we put the ART SOUP in a machine to mix it.
Some people ate the ART SOUP. Patricia did not.
Everyone in Class 2i helped to make the ART SOUP.
