Primary 1-4 have been learning about Shrove Tuesday and why we eat pancakes on this day! After writing a little bit about it in their jotters, the children then had the chance to choose some happy and healthy toppings for their pancakes! After that, they read ‘Rhino’s Don’t Eat Pancakes!’ and designed their own Wanted posters to help find the missing, pancake loving, purple rhino!
P1/2 prepared and baked some yummy pizzas and fruity milkshakes as part of our Eco/Health week activities.
P3/4 had great fun preparing and drinking some delicious fruit smoothies as part of our Eco/Health week activities.
Anne Chalmers from Community Education & Development, led a workshop on healthy eating. Thank you to all the parents who managed to attend.
P5/6/7 have visited our community allotment to harvest our vegetables. Unfortunately the hot summer weather was not good for our crops and we lost a lot of our produce. However, we were delighted to discover our potatoes and turnips have thrived and we are looking forward to cooking them soon.
When preparing and cooking a variety of foods, I am becoming aware of the journeys which foods make from source to consumer, their seasonality, their local availability and their sustainability. HWB 1-35a / HWB 2-35a
P3-7 enjoyed the visit from Warburtons bakery. They discussed making healthy choices, looking closely at the eat well plate and made their own sandwich.
By investigating the range of foods available I can discuss how they contribute to a healthy diet. HWB 1-30a
I experience a sense of enjoyment and achievement when preparing simple healthy foods and drinks. HWB 1-30
P4-7 pupils were finding out about the sugar content in a range of popular foods and drinks. We discovered that there are over 52 different terms/names for sugar and it is often difficult to tell how much sugar is in many of our favourite drinks and snacks.
