Primary 5/6 with great cooking skills

March 1, 2017 User deactivated Leave a comment

Primary 5/6 have had a great week making 3 different dishes for each of them to enjoy. On Monday it was macaroni cheese and some pupils were not too keen to make this as it had lots of cheese! Tuesday was far more popular as we made pancakes in order to support their learning of Shrove Tuesday. Needless to say, the option of the toppings made it all that little bit better.

Today, we got to further develop the skills of reading a recipe, cutting, grating, frying, shaping, timing and reducing a sauce. It was great to see the pupils working together and working through each process. A great week and we are all looking forward to our next block of cooking.

Well done P5/6!!

The boys and girls in this leadership group are planning a Fairtrade event for parents, carers and members of the school and extended community to attend and enjoy. Some children created invitations while others baked Fairtrade banana loaves and carrot cakes which will be frozen and stored until the event!

Banana Milkshake

January 28, 2017 Ms Scott Leave a comment

After learning about where milk comes from the children made and tasted banana milkshakes.

While they were waiting on their turn they investigated different food and sorted them according to where they came from e.g. Plant or animal.

Today our group began the task of creating our display to let others know what we do during leadership time. We made display lettering from recycled rubbish and began painting the background of our design. Stay tuned to see how it turns out!

Where does food come from?

December 2, 2016 Ms Scott Leave a comment

P1 did some internet research to find out where food comes from. They now know that all food comes from plants or animals.

They were successful in discussing where different foods come from.

Next week they will be exploring how food changes from farm to fork. They will look at the stages wheat goes through to become bread.

P4 Sugar Rush!

November 23, 2016 Mrs Macgregor 1 Comment

Today, Primary 4 found out all about sugar.

We watched an informative video which told us all about the affect sugar can have on our bodies and learned that growing children should have no more than 16 grams of sugar per day. We thought back to what we had eaten over the past 24 hours and were surprised to discover that many of us were over that limit! Take a look at some of your favourite treats and read the sugar content – you may get a shock!

P1/2 in the Learning Kitchen 🍲

November 5, 2016 Ms Hendry Leave a comment

On Thursday p1/2 learned how to make leek and potato soup. After we harvested a HUGE leek from the garden, we used the ‘claw’ chopping technique to chop it. We also used this technique to chop the potatoes too! Well done to the p2s who were able to use the ‘bridge’ technique to half each potato.

Well done everyone. You worked so hard and showed very responsible behaviour while working in the kitchen. 😃

Look at this technique! ⬆️

Very helpful boys washing up ⬆️

Say cheese! 😁⬆️

Stir, stir, stir the soup 🎶🍜

Today P1 made leek and potato soup in the learning kitchen. First they harvested the leeks from the school garden before cutting some leeks, potatoes and carrots and putting them on to boil. Well done children. You did a great job! 😀
