P3 Baking with Annette
On Wednesday 26th June, P3 had a lovely visit from local lady Annette Need. Annette is a baker and she also runs the Colvend Producer’s Market. We thought this would fit in perfectly with our Food and Farming topic. She kindly brought in all the ingredients for us to make our own pizzas.
Firstly, we had a chance to taste all of the lovely ingredients – some of which we would not think to put on a pizza. It was great to see all of the different faces when sampling the food! We then had to roll our dough and put our tomato sauce base on. We had the option of three different cheeses before then selecting out toppings.
After making the pizza, we put them in the oven to cook. Not long after, we were able to safely transport our pizzas back to the classroom before saving them to take home.
Thank you Annette for taking the time to come and do this with us – we thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks also to the two high school pupils who helped, Miss Aitchison and also to Mrs Houston for allowing us to use her facilities again.

Primary Three Visit to Galloway Soup Company
On Monday 24th June, P3 had the opportunity to visit the Galloway Soup Company for our lunch. It was a special treat, but also linked to our Food and Farming topic. After braving the monsoon, we arrived and Joanne provided the children with their lunch and also talked to us about the ingredients she used, discussed sustainability and also her links with local businesses. She really underlined the importance of keeping things local!
We also had a little quiz using some pictures, to find out where the products came from – local honey, milk and strawberries to name a few.
We were sent on our way after having a lovely baby hot chocolate (with marshmallows and cream!), and also an ice cream from Glen Urr. Thank you Joanne for a thoroughly enjoyable lunch. The children and I will be back!
