• Primary 6 were invited to Barrhead High’s Taster Day where the Modern Languages and Home Economics departments worked together to provide demonstrations of cooking from China and France.

The pupils learned a lot of practical tips for chopping and frying whilst making a stir fry. They then had the chance to use chopsticks to eat our stir fry after a demonstration. We were all confident individuals and gave it a good go!

We had the opportunity to read recipes I’m both Mandarin and French and discuss the translation.

We had a great time exploring Barrhead High and meeting some of our future teachers!

“I loved the screens in the Home Ec department! It was so easy to see what the teacher was doing when she was chopping the onion.”

“The stir fry was really yummy. I’m going to try make it at home.”

“That was my first time using chopsticks and it was so hard at first. All I got was a noodle! After a while, I got better at it!”
