Today we had our last day of Mearns Masters Gastronomers. We had chosen to bake oat and raisin breakfast muffins.
We really enjoyed baking them in the kitchen but the best part was eating them in the afternoon.
we shared some of the extra muffins with the other teachers and SMT in the school. Mr Peebles said they were “Awesome!” 
We worked very hard and had fun making our own wind turbines. They were quite tricky to make but turned out good in the end.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in P3.12. On the 1st of December we had a lot of fun decorating our class Christmas tree 
.
Our Mearns Masters this block has been the Gastronomers. 
We have been learning about knife skills and about different breakfasts around the world.
Two weeks ago we chose to make an American breakfast of pancakes 
, scrambled eggs 
, and blueberries 
.
We all enjoyed cooking our scrambled eggs, which were delicious! We were so busy concentrating on what we had to do that we were not able to take any photos. 
Last week we were learning about having a healthy balanced diet and we created healthy eating plates based around the different food groups in the food triangle.
On the 30th of November we were learning about St Andrew. We learned all about his life – where he was from, who his friends and how he died. We found out why Scotland has a saltire flag and which other countries have St Andrew as their patron saint.
Please ask us about what we have learned.
On November 29th we had a Microsoft Teams lesson on Financial Education with Jenny from Money Advice Scotland. We learned about what things would be essential to buy in our weekly shopping and how much these things would cost. We enjoyed the lesson and we gave very good answers to the questions that Jenny asked us. 
For COP26 we have been learning about different types of renewable energy. We found out about wind energy, hydroelectric energy, biomass energy, solar energy and geothermal energy.
We we’re learning about coding and using Scratch jr for our first block of Mearns Masters. Please watch the 2 short videos to see what we have learnt to do.
