As part of their Europe topic and with shrove Tuesday so close, P6a used their teamwork & measurement skills to follow a recipe to create French crepes or Scottish pancakes.
Naturally, they had to taste the final product for quality control reasons!

Gruel Vs Porridge
As part of their Victorian topic, P6a compared the diets of modern day Scots to that of the Victorian Scots.
They worked in groups to follow a traditional gruel recipe from a Victorian cookbook and a Scottish porridge recipe.
They then discussed the differences and similarities in appearance, smell, texture and taste.
Victorian cooking
Inspired by a Victorian cookbook and using ingredients that would have been available during the time period, P6a & P6b joined forces to bake a lovely apple cake.
We were lucky enough to be joined by some P1 helpers.
After all the preparation, the children learned the importance of tidying up and cleaning their equipment!
Finally, it was a chance to taste their creations. The resounding verdict was every group had correctly followed the recipe, weighed and measured their ingredients and baked a tasty cake!
Outdoor learning
Outdoor learning has been Space themed over this week with the children using natural resources and loose parts to create transient art.
Gardening
This week P6a worked in the school garden to harvest the crops sown last term. We had the pleasure of digging up carrots, potatoes and onions and picked lots of apples and some pears. Next week we will use some of these to cook with and work on our food technology skills.
We explored nature around the garden areas and spotted plenty of spiders, worms and a ladybird that refused to leave us!

Well done Brandon on being this weeks Star Pupil!
W/c 26.8.19
This week in P6a we were researching and learning about the Space race and the lunar landing in 1969. This was used as inspiration for our writing, ICT and art lessons.
Unfortunately the weather on Friday wasn’t the best so we didn’t make it to the MUGA for PE but we improvised and worked on our fitness in the classroom with some energetic moves!
