Kenmare & District Garden ClubKenmare & District Garden ClubKenmare & District Garden ClubKenmare & District Garden Club In spite of the very inclement weather on Thursday evening, the 2nd March, there was a good turnout for Billy Alexander’s wonderful talk on his recent travels to Myanmar. He began with a short potted history about life pre-Kells Bay and how he had always loved tree ferns f rom a very early age. With his slides we were transported to the markets in Myanmar – in Yangong the for-mer capital we were shown lots of Buddhist temples, in Mandalay pictures of the local people going about their daily lives but the best scenes were those of all the interesting and sometimes very exotic and unnamed plants and trees either in the forests or in the National Gardens. The scenery was spec-tacular especially the rivers and gorges with rather shaky-looking bridges over them. Rumour has it there will be the longest rope bridge in Ireland at Kells Bay soon – wonder where Billy got that idea f rom!! On 10th/11th May there will be a one-night trip away to Co. Waterford area gardens including Mount Congreve and anyone interested should contact Geraldine – 0863935965 - asap. Next month on Thursday, 6th April, the topic of Verney Naylor’s talk will be ”Horizons: Finding Inspiration From Beyond The Garden Gate”. 7.30 p.m The Gateway. There will also be a plant exchange – one plant only per per-son please.

Mother’s Day Cake RecipeMother’s Day Cake RecipeMother’s Day Cake RecipeMother’s Day Cake Recipe

• 225g butter (at room temperature) • 225g white caster sugar • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract • 4 large free-range eggs • 225g self-raising flour • 1 teaspoon baking powder • 1 splash of milk • FILLING • 200 ml double cream • 1½ tablespoons of icing sugar ,

plus extra for dusting • 250 g fresh strawberries 1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC/gas 4. Grease and line the bases

of 2 round 20cm sandwich tins. 2. Cream together the butter with the sugar in a large mixing

bowl until pale and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract. 3. Beat the eggs, then gradually mix into the butter and sugar.

Sift, then fold in the flour, baking powder and ¼ of a tea-spoon of sea salt with a large metal spoon until just incor-porated (don’t overmix).

4. Stir in 1 splash of milk to loosen the batter, then evenly divide it between the 2 cake tins.

5. Bake the cakes in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. To test, insert a skewer into the middle of a cake; it’s ready when the skewer comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tins for 5 minutes, then turn onto a wire rack to cool completely.

6. Whip the cream, sift in icing sugar and gently fold through. Fill the cake.

7. Hull and roughly slice the strawberries, then scatter on top of the cream. Dust with icing sugar and decorate with ex-tra strawberries, if you like.

A special thank you to Siobhan Looney for her magnif icent cake! We were delighted to welcome Mrs Niamh Dignam back to school on Monday the 13th of March. Coding The Senior classes have just began coding in the classroom. Coding, in the simplest of terms, is telling a computer what you want it to do, which involves typing in step-by-step commands for the computer to follow. Research shows that Coding in the classroom is linked to improved problem solving and analytical reasoning, and students who develop a mastery of coding have a "natural ability and drive to construct, hypothesize, explore, experiment, evaluate, and draw conclusions." Thank you to Alan Davies for coming in to get us started and teaching us how to Code! Letter Writing The students of 4th, 5th and 6th class were learning about writing letters. Each student wrote to different companies, people they ad-mire and a variety of letters were sent to Presi-dents, Politicians and TD’s. Leona Rigter, 4th class decided to write to local TD Michael Healy Rae. Leona informed Mi-chael Healy Rae about a safety issue in Sneem Playground. Michael Healy Rae kindly responded to Leona and with the help of Kerry County Council the Playground was checked and the problem was addressed. Well done Leona!
