Today two of our pupils were unable to attend their usual music lesson so instead they gave the class a crash course in the differences between the viola and the violin. They each took a turn to play a piece of music they had been learning toomu. We look forward to hearing more from them as the year goes on!
For our last turn in the kitchen the children in P4.19 chose to make Ukrainian paska. This was a first for everyone and we really enjoyed the process!
Some pupils liked using their hands to combine the dough more that others! 🖐 🤚 
After some proving time and enjoying decorating our dough it was time to taste, another success! Recommending some slightly altered cooking times next time due to a very efficient oven, however smiles all round!
Throughout our time in the kitchen, P4.19 have been reflecting on different meta skills, they chose to assess their focus, collaboration and communication skills. As the weeks went on P4.19 all saw positive improvements to their team work, in particular being able to refer to the recipe, take turns and support each other during each step. Pupils not only enjoyed the cooking experience but also became a dab hand at cleaning up and learnt many new skills practising!
Maths continues into PE this week when pupil competed in different time challenges including a class plank challenge!
We then played an adapted version of corners working out different number problems to pick the corner that was out next, the rain might have stopped us going out but it didn’t stop us having fun!
Finally, when there was a break in the rain we headed outside to play a game that relied on knowledge and reflexes about even and odd numbers.
Pupils competitively took part trying to beat the class and their partners!
To revise shape we went on a shape hunt around the school and very much realised shapes were everywhere! Some were trickier to find that others however pupils were determined to find them all!
All our shape have work then helped with our wonderful artwork…watch this space!
Tasting time and we have happy faces all around!
Now time to learn about countries around Canada and a little about one of their wonderful dishes.
Pupils are building their confidence in the kitchen and enjoying some baking today to mix things up. Since it was maths week too children were taking extra care in weighing and measuring all of their ingredients to help in the success of their pancakes!
Once the batter was ready, it was time to cook! the big blueberries made this a slow process however it was worth the wait…
P4.19 celebrated our new class representatives today at the leadership assembly. Parents and family came to share the celebration too!
A picture of 3 of 4 of our wonderful representatives this year! We look forward to seeing all that they achieve this year !
Our fabulous star pupils so far this year. Pupils have been working exceptionally hard both in class and at home. Keep up the wonderful work!
Just like that it’s time to cook again!
Pupil’s started looking at all the countries near India, then they headed to the kitchen to learn how to make some red lentil dahl. The smells of the spices were very rich today, which some liked and some thought were quite strong. However with the end results we had so many pupils asking for seconds and even thirds! A firm favourite with P4.19 so far!
Time to taste… the quietest the class have been all day!
