#OurOnthank Families,

Please read the information below for an opportunity to participate in a 5 week Summer Programme of family cooking, Barista training, sports, fitness and wellbeing activities!

Complete the form by Friday 24 @ 3pm if you would like to sign up.

 

Ayrshire College are looking to run a 5 week Summer Programme that will run every day. 

This programme will include FREE Sports Camps and Masterclasses for all young people aged 5 – 18 years within the local community and offer a full family Health & Wellbeing programme that is wider than sport.

Families will have the opportunity to learn about front and back of house service in restaurants and will have the chance to study food hygiene.  Parents/carers will have the opportunity to prepare a meal and serve to their invited family members in Ayrshire College restaurant ‘The Salt and Barrel’

Participants will also get the opportunity to complete a Barista Certificate.

Families will also have expert guidance from Hospitality Lecturers on how to prepare various dishes, and then receive recipe cards and a recipe box with ingredients they require to make the food dishes at home.   

While parents/carers are learning about the Hospitality Sector the children from the family will be participating within the Sports and Fitness sessions that will be taking place in the College at the same time.

Ayrshire College would like to pilot this programme targeting the groups below:

●      Lone parent families.

●      Larger families (more than 4 in total in the home).

●      Families where the mother/father is under 25 years of age.

Eggcellent Designs by P5

Primary 5 enjoyed the last day of term by making some eggcellent designs. They had to design a character or personality using hard boiled eggs and a backdrop to go along with it.

All of our designs were outstanding but congratulations to our 1st and 2nd place winners, Olivia, Rebecca and Emily.

Happy Easter from all in P5!

 

 

 

P3 Dean Park Visit

Take a look at some photos of our day out  to Dean Park where we were Nature Detectives, looking for animal tracks and signs of spring as our trip out coincided with the first day of spring.

We also tried out the new park facilities at Dean Park and gave them a big thumbs up. Especially the slide which was really speedy.

STEM Inventors

Primary 7 have been busy looking at famous inventors to help inspire our own inventions. We were lucky enough to have George Burns come in and help us design aeroplanes to kickstart our imaginations. We will now go and write up our inventions and enter into the Scottish Inventors Award 2018.

Thanks George!
