At the end of last term, the P7 French class got to sample some French food. This came after a lot of hard work spent learning vocabulary for food and writing their own scripts for ordering food at a restaurant.
On offer was Ratatouille, Baguette, Croissant, Brie, Port Salut, Roule, Ardennes Pâté and Crêpes au chocolat. Some items were unfamilair to some but everyone sampled everything and it was quickly devoured. The general concensus was that french food is….. délicieux!
P6/7M’s last session of PE at Forres Academy was hands down the most fun – we had a go at Boxing and Sparring. Everyone got the chance to wear the gloves and ‘jab and cross’ at our partner who was wearing the pads. The best part was having a go at sparring against the dummy knicknamed by many as ‘Bob’. Even Mrs McRitchie and Mrs Galbraith got the gloves on and had a go!
33 children from across P4 – 7 have chosen to spend their Thursday afternoons investigating food. In the first experiment session the children were finding out just how fatty some cheeses can be. Their conclusion? Steer clear of mature cheddar – go for the goat’s cheese!
Children in P5N were set a two week research task. They had to find some fun and historical facts about May Day and present their findings to the rest of the class.
Following in the foot steps of yesterday’s group, the other half of P5 and 6 enjoyed the beautiful weather at Sanquhar Community Woods. They also explored the area and each found a special place on their own to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the surroundings. On their return to school the children commented that their afternoon had been “exciting” and “tiring”!
