Anzac biscuit baking - Yum!

Today we baked ANZAC biscuits as part of learning about ANZAC day and the importance of them to our history as New Zealanders.
We got into small groups and worked with Mrs Allen in the kitchen, while the rest of the class worked with Miss Hooper on writing 'letters' to soldiers.
Baking was fun but... as some of us discovered, it was very important to read the recipe correctly so that we got the measurements of the ingredients correct!
However...all the biscuits tasted delicious (even if some of them were a little bit crumbly!) 
How would you describe the taste of the ANZAC biscuit? Crunchy? Chewy? Sweet? 
Did it remind you of anything you have tasted before? 
They smelt delicious cooking in the kitchen didn't they? The yummy smells drifted along the corridor into the other classes!! 

How are you going to commemorate ANZAC day on Saturday?
