Primary Three Visit to Galloway Soup Company

Leave a comment

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!

On Friday 31st May, we had our assembly in the Heughan Hall due to rain bringing the Queen of The South Football Coaching indoors to our own Primary Hall. Once more, we had many very deserving Head Teacher’ Award winners. We were also treated to a display by some of our recent gymnastic finalists. Also exciting was the presentation of certificates to our winners of the Horse Riding Competition.

Lego WeDo

Leave a comment

On Wednesday the 22nd and Tuesday 28th May, we had the pleasure of Mrs Moyes coming to visit our classroom to demonstrate how to use Lego WeDo and also show us how to become the experts.  We learned all about the different jobs within a team and how to look after the resources.  We were able to follow step-by-step instructions to complete projects.  We worked together to make a snail which flashed different colours and even made sounds!  Some of us got to make a working windmill.  She explained to us how we could challenge ourselves in the future.  It was a great learning opportunity and something we can build upon.  Thank you Mrs Moyes!

Primary 3 Soup Making

Leave a comment

On Monday 20th and Monday 27th of May, we ventured through to the High School Home Economics department, where we met Mrs Houston.  As part of our Food and Farming topic, we thought it would be a great idea to make some soup!

We discussed the importance of hand washing before preparing vegetables to make our soup.  Whilst one group was doing this, the others were learning about The Eatwell Guide, and then we swapped over.

At the end of each session, we were able to take our soup home to sample.  Thanks to Mrs Houston for her help!

P1 Searching for flowers….

Leave a comment

P1F have been learning about plants and flowers so we decided to go outside to look at how our planters are coming along and see if we could find any flowers we knew….we also enjoyed being out in the sunshine!

  

We enjoyed drawing some of our flowers.

As we had been talking about springs flowers and animals Roan kindly brought in a birds nest that was in his garden hedge from last year.  It was a great example.  Thank you for bringing it in to show us.
