We would like to say a huge thank you to all of the Mum’s and Dad’s that joined us today in our class for the book tasting event.
We really enjoyed sharing our story writing journey with you and enjoying some tasty cupcakes.
Enchiladas 🇲🇽🫔
Today Group 1 of our Mearns Masters cooked their very own vegetarian enchiladas, inspired by the famous Mexican dish.
We built on the skills that we practised in week one – using the bridge cutting technique to prepare the vegetables for our dish.
We then carefully wrapped the vegetable mixture into tortilla wraps and covered them in a yoghurt and cheese sauce which we then baked in the oven.
Delicioso 😋🍴
Bikeability 1 🚲
We had an excellent first session of Bikeability today in P6.22.
We enjoyed developing our control, balance and confidence on our bikes in the playground 🚲
Taco Tuesday 🌮
Gastronomers Group 2 were in the kitchen on Tuesday and we were joined by Miss Hunter for our lesson. She was very impressed at the excellent skills on display and the wide variety of ingredients and equipment we were using in our recipe.
First, we prepared a garnish made of yoghurt, coriander, spring onions and cucumber. Then we moved onto cooking our tacos which were made out of Quorn mince, tinned tomatoes, kidney beans, onions, peppers and chilli powder.
We were delighted with our finished dishes and can’t wait to cook them at home too!! 🌮😍
Issue 3!
Our 3rd Mearns Monthly Mail has arrived! The pride and excitement that we feel every time our finished newspaper arrives never gets old.
Well done to our class on the huge amount of hard work which has contributed to the on-going success of the newspaper.
You can get your copy now on Parentpay!
Solo Talks
Today in P6.22 we began presenting our solo talks to the class. Each of us chose a country which we are interested in and created informative PowerPoints that included facts about landmarks, language, famous people, cuisine and history.
During the solo talks we have been developing our ability to give constructive feedback through peer assessment.
Lots of us included pictures, animations and quizzes to enhance our presentations!
We really enjoyed learning more about different countries and cultures throughout the world.
Taco Thursday 🌮
Today Group 1 of our Gastronomers began our new Mearns Masters Block. Our class have chosen a Mexican theme and we used Quorn and vegetables to create delicious Tacos!
We worked in pairs to chop, cook and serve our dish and added garnish to complete the tacos.
Daily 5
One of our favourite parts of the day in 6.22 is our Daily 5 Maths Challenge. This is included in our targets and we enjoy working together with others in our group to solve the questions.
The topics in the Daily 5 vary through the week and allow us to challenge ourselves by applying our knowledge to problem solving questions or provide continuous revision from earlier topics in Second Level.
Welcome back 6.22!
We have had a busy and exciting first few days back in Primary 6.22. Today we attended our first whole school assembly and we thoroughly enjoyed being back all together!
In maths, Pythagoras began work on comparing and ordering fractions and will continue to develop this over the coming weeks.
Elsewhere we have began learning more French, today we were practising how to tell others what our favourite sport is and took a class survey to find out which sport is most popular in our class. In science, we have been investigating plants and the functions of the roots, stem, flower and leaves as a part of our new eco-systems topic.
Solar System Fact File
To round off our learning from STEM week we researched different planets in the solar system and created a whole class fact file.
We then added our fact file to our STEM Week display board ready for the showcase tomorrow!
We are so excited to show off all of our STEM Week activities to other classes 🤩🚀🔭
