Bran Muffins in the microwave
Things you will need
½ cup of really hot water- an adult will need to
help you with this.
1 ¼ cups of bran
50g melted butter- an adult will need to help you
with this.
1 egg
½ cup brown sugar (white sugar will be OK to use)
¾ cup plain yoghurt (If you only have fruity yoghurt
it will be OK to use)
1 ¼ cups of flour
1 ¼ teaspoons of baking soda
¼ teaspoon of salt
½ cup raisins or sultanas. If you don’t have any just
leave this part out.
A big mixing bowl, a small mixing bowl and a fork
2 cups or coffee mugs. Don’t use any that have gold
paint on them.
Paper baking cases or strips of baking paper.
What to do-(Method)
1.
Put ½ cup of hot water and melted butter
into the mixing bowl. Mix these together.
2.
Add 1 ¼ cups of bran and mix it all
together.
3.
Break the egg into the small mixing bowl
and beat with a fork. Stir in the sugar and the yoghurt.
4.
Tip these into the big bowl with the
bran. Stir it until it is all mixed together.
5.
Put 1 ½ cups of flour, ½ teaspoon of
salt, 1 ¼ teaspoons of baking soda into the big bowl and stir gently.
6.
Add the raisins or sultanas. If you used
fruity yoghurt do not put in dried fruit.
7.
Put a paper baking case, or your strips
of baking paper, into each cup or mug.
8.
Put a large spoon of the mixture into
each cup.
9.
Put the cups in the microwave and cook on
High for 1 min. You might need to cook them for 1 ½ minutes if you use big
cups. The cups might be hot so be careful when you take them out. I just
tip mine upside down on a plate to get them out.
The mixture can be kept, with a
cover over it, in the fridge for a week. You can have fresh muffins every day.

Lizard on my deck.
Find something in your house that is 5 cm long so you can see how small it was.
Minute means "very small." In English we have another word - minute- which is spelled the same but is to do with time , as in hours and minutes.

Song- Singing Instructions
Remember singing is for fun, it doesn’t matter if it
sounds bad. My voice is old and worn out, sometimes I sing out of tune but I
still like to sing. You could teach this song to your family. If you play an
instrument you could teach yourself to play it. If you and your family get
really creative, record the performance using “voice recorder” on a phone.
Email the performance to me. Have fun!

Getting Started April 2020
Welcome to ESOL Stars. If you are visiting for the
first time, the work on here will be a little different while NZ schools are in
Lockdown.
Sometimes the work will be for all of you, sometimes
the work will have names on it and sometimes everyone in the house can join in,
Try your best but do not worry if things go wrong.
Mum/ Dad or the other adults in your
house will be very busy so try to do my work by yourself.
To listen and read at the same time- Click on the
voice recorder and then click on the words you need to see. They will both work
at the same time.
