P5 were busy in our GP room today making traditional Scottish shortbread. We have been learning about traditional Scottish dishes during our farming topic and today we recreated this popular biscuit.

Having made sure our workspace was hygienic – tables cleaned and hands washed – we set to task mixing our ingredients by following the recipe and method.

It was a thumbs up all round as the shortbread tasted as good as it smelled!

As part of our Active Literacy programme, we were using active spelling activities today. We revised our ae phoneme and it’s different representations and our tricky words.
