Cooking Scotland – Vegetarian Haggis Neeps and Tatties 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Today our first group of Gastronomers was in the kitchen and worked together in groups to make the first of our Scottish dishes.

We began with wrapping the vegetarian haggis in tinfoil and placing it into boiling water to cook for 30 minutes. We then cut and prepared potatoes and neeps before adding them to a pot to cook.

We then chopped ingredients for the peppercorn sauce including onions, shallots and spring onions.

Afterwards, we placed these into a pan with butter and cooked them until golden, we then added cream, vegetable stock and pepper.

We spooned the finished sauce on top of our haggis and mashed potatoes and neeps.

We can’t wait for our next week of Gastronomers 😄🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Writing Fact Files ✏️

We have been enjoying our new class topic, The Seven Wonders of the Modern World and today we created Fact Files after researching on the Chromebooks.

We included lots of interesting facts including the country and continent where the Wonder of the World is located, how many visitors there are each year, how old it is and some fun facts.

We learnt about the structure of writing a fact file and using sub-headings to help us layout all of the information that we found.

Place Value Outdoors 🍃

This morning in Primary 5.17 we took our maths learning outdoors and used natural resources to help us practice place value.

Our groups collected leaves, small sticks, rocks, acorns and seeds and used these to represent numbers in our place value chart.

We set challenges for others in our group by reading numbers aloud and writing them on our whiteboards 🌳🍁🪨

Our first week in Primary 5.17 🌟

We have had a very busy and exciting first week in P5.17.

We began by creating our Class Charter which is based on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. We selected 4 articles which were most important to our class and discussed how we will uphold these through the year.

In literacy, we have began revision of punctuation and started our new class novel, Beetle Boy by M.G.Leonard.

We have been enjoying our Daily Mile and spending time in our new classroom.

We can’t wait for more learning and new experiences over the coming weeks.
