Today Primary 3 enjoyed a wonderful bread making session. This was delivered by Sara who works for RHET – the Royal Highland Education Trust. We split into two groups and she taught us how to make our own brown and white rolls. We learned how to make flour by using a special machine, how to make dough, how to make the dough rise and the different ingredients you need to make bread. We are looking forward to taking our 2 rolls home and sharing them with our families tonight.
Today, Primary 3 had a special visit from Mrs Houston. She helped us to prepare and cook our own vegetable soup. We learned how to peel, chop, cube and grate vegetables so that they could be included in our soup. We also enjoyed a tour of the school kitchen and learned more from Mrs Houston during a question and answer session. We are looking forward to taking our soup home and sharing it with our families. This learning links to our class learning of food and farming and is going to link to our writing as we will now write our own vegetable soup recipes. If you’re not sure how to make soup, you know who to ask! 
Primary 3 had a fantastic excursion to the Dumfries House farm. We enjoyed a farm tour where we learned about each animal, fed the chickens and ducks and even got to stroke a pig! We also learned how to use ingredients to make scones. We had to cut chives from the garden and used these in our savory scones. We made our own butter by taking it in turns to shake full cream as fast as we could for at least 10 minutes. This was a very worthwhile learning experience which we all enjoyed.
Primary 3 had a fantastic time participating in Tough Mudder 4. We got wet, we got stinky and we got muddy but…. it was worth it! Here are some action shots of us during it.
As part of our minibeast topic, Primary 3 enjoyed a visit to Dumfries House today to pond-dip and search for different minibeasts whose habitat is in the water. Have a look at the photographs below for a snapshot of our day.
