We are delighted to announce that we were successful in receiving a £900 grant from the local co-op fund. Our application was to fund a potting shed and poly tunnel. This will help to develop our ‘Grow It, Cook It, Eat It’ aim for all. Many thanks to our parents and partners who took the time to vote for our application. It is very much appreciated!

Ready, Steady Cook! P6/ 7 Winning Class
Every class was provided with potatoes and onions grown in our school garden. The challenge was to design, prepare, cook and serve a dish using the garden produce, ingredients from our dry store and a maximum of two other ingredients.
P6/7 won with their potato, onion and bacon bake! It was delicious. I am very sad that this challenge is over as I very much enjoyed sampling all the dishes!
Primary 7 – Ready Steady Cook Challenge
Primary 7 completed their ‘Ready Steady Cook Challenge’ today. They made onion rings and potato wedges. Almost everyone liked the wedges and some liked the onion rings. We are patiently waiting on Mrs Martin to deliver the results!
Primary 4 – Ready Steady Cook Challenge
We rose to the cooking challenge set by Mrs Martin by making fantastic frittata. The ingredients included cheese, eggs, spring onion and new potatoes. We all enjoyed working in our groups preparing the vegetables, mixing the ingredients, designing our own placemats and creating our menus. We all had a piece of the frittata and it was delicious!
Ready, Steady Cook in P5!
P5 have had a busy morning making cheese and bacon potato skins. First we had to cut cooked potatoes in half, then we had to scoop out the potato and put it into a bowl with some bacon. We mixed the potato and bacon together and used the mix to refill the potato skins. We then sprinkled some cheese on top.
Mrs Martin tasted our potato skins and we got to try them too.
Erin M and most of the class said- “It was so amazing! I will be making these at home!”
Primary 5 would like to say thank you to Mrs Green and Mrs Smith!
Ready Steady Cook Challenge- P3
In the kitchen this morning some children from P3 prepared and made a Moroccan Potato Salad. The children experienced chopping potatoes, cutting parsley and making their own vinaigrette.
Then all the children had a taste and the majority of the children enjoyed the salad but a few children didn’t like the red onion.
Mrs Martin joined us afterwards and had a taste and she was very impressed. She was very surprised to hear that we made our own vinaigrette and she absolutely loved our potato salad.
P5’s Packaging Designs
Primary 5 worked hard today to design new packaging for some Scottish Products. They learnt about what information needs to be part of the labelling products by law as well as other information we may include to encourage the customer to buy the product. We used recycled bottles and boxes to stick our new designs onto. Well done P5!
P4/5 Scottish salmon
We have been learning about Scottish foods and exports. We learned that Scottish seafood and beef were two of the main Scottish exports. Many of us hadn’t tasted salmon so this afternoon we had a little try!
Some of us loved it and had more, others were not so keen!
Lunch Menu for w/b 30 November

p6/7 Christmas cookie fun
