P2 in the Learning Kitchen

Leave a comment

As part of our Focus on Food topic, P2 all got a chance to make Bruschetta in our new learning kitchen. We worked in small groups learning how to make the garlicky bread base and how to chop our tomatoes and olives safely.  We used two different herbs to flavour our bread – dried oregano and fresh basil. When we had made the Bruschetta we all got a chance to taste it straight away, some of us ate it all!! It was delicious. Everyone had a great time learning to cook and Mrs Inglis is very proud of us all, especially as we all tried and tasted something new. We can’t wait to cook again next year. Yum yum. (Mrs Inglis)

P2 Visit Dumfries House

3 Comments

Back in March P2 visited Dumfries House. We had a great day learning to chop vegetables and make potato salad in the lovely learning kitchen. We all did really well trying some new food. We then went to the vegetable garden, paired up and completed a scavenger hunt. After eating our packed lunches in the farmhouse, we then took advantage of the lovely weather and had lots of fun in the adventure playground. A great day was had by all.

P2 Welcome Germbuster!

3 Comments

P2 enjoyed their visit from the Germbuster. She talked to us about where germs are found and what they can do to us. She explained that there are some good germs as well as bad ones. We learned the importance of washing our hands and when we should do this. Germbuster had special glasses that could see germs. We really enjoyed using the Glitterbug lotion to see the germs on our hands under the special light. We then washed our hands thoroughly and looked at them again. Even Mrs Inglis had a turn – hers had lots of germs too!! Luckily we got rid of most of the germs on our hands when we washed them.

Thank you to MrsMcIntyre, aka Germbuster.
