Primary 4 – The 1990’s

The children have been enjoying finding out what life was like in the 1990’s.  The have been researching significant  people and important events of that decade.  They had great fun finding out about clothes and fashion of the 90’s and designed their own outfits.

P4-7 Cooking Leadership Academy

16 June 2015

Mrs Martin taught our cooking leaders how to make chocolate truffles for the P7 graduation. Ms Kelly supported Mrs Martin in the learning kitchen as the pupils melted chocolate, bashed biscuits and mixed them together with coconut. The pupils mixed the ingredients together, used their hands to roll them into balls then coated them in chocolate. Once completed, the truffles were placed on a tray and placed in the fridge, ready for the big day!

Mrs Barrington worked with the rest of the pupils on three tasks related to the official launch of our learning kitchen next session. The tasks were to design an invitation for the official launch of the learning kitchen ,  to create a buffet menu that the cooking leadership academy could make and to plan the events for the opening.  Sophie had some super ideas for the last task and is showing the skills of an event manager in the making!

P3 Parents Open Event Part 2 (Cafe Espanol)

The second part of our parents event took place in the Learning Kitchen where the pupils from P3 and Spanish Club pupils from P4 and 5 were serving tapas (Spanish snacks) to all our visitors.

Spanish cafe food

The cafe was very popular and successful with pupils serving the food in Spanish and helping their parents/guardians with the pronunciation of the phrases left on each table.  The tapas were eaten up very quickly so we haven’t got many pictures of the snacks on offer but we do promise they were delicious – muy delicioso.

Thanks to all my helpers especially Johnathon who took the photos for me as I was busy in the kitchen.  Muchas gracias for such a wonderful turnout!

P4 Eco-Day Activity

Today we sorted and counted the litter that P2/3 had collected from playtime. We then created a graph and it showed us the types of litter that had been dropped and we could see how healthy or unhealthy we are being!

Screen Shot 2015-06-19 at 12.05.57We noticed that crisps and sugary snacks  were a popular snack choice and fruit was the least popular, when we think it should be the opposite.

However, we did think that our drinks are quite healthy as we drink a lot of milk and water.

We were shocked at how much litter was on the ground and we encourage other children to use the playground bins. Thank you!
