P4 Cranachan and Fish Paté
P4 had lots of fun this term cooking some healthy Scottish themed recipes in the learning kitchen. We have all tried new foods and are aware of the great health benefits of certain types of foods.
Earth Hour 2017
Last week, Primary 4 were hard at work researching “Earth Hour.” We used ‘i-Movie’ on the i-pads to create our own news reports to raise awareness of climate change.
Did you take part in Earth Hour on Saturday the 25th March 2017?
Here are some of our Confident Individuals explaining what Earth Hour is and how you can make a positive change to our world.
Primary 5/6 with great cooking skills
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!!
P4 Central Net Skills
We have been working hard on our perseverance skills to aim over the volleyball net to our partner on the other side. Some of us are getting the hang of it!
Sports Leadership Learning
This afternoon, pupils from Primaries 4, 5, 6 and 7 came to their next block of learning about Sports and the aspects that surround this.
They were learning about First Aid as this is an important aspects to understanding the associated accidents that lead to small and larger injuries. Today, the pupils had the opportunity to learn how to assess injuries, dress injuries to the body and the face, put the arm into a sling, put someone into the Recovery Position and also CPR. This required some problem solving but they all worked very well with each other and also with the resources and equipment that was there for them to use.
As you can see from the photographs, I think that they all consider themselves to be confident First Aiders!
