Today Primary 2 were in the Sensory Garden carrying out some of their garden chores. While we were weeding and tidying, we came across some fantastic mini beasts! Have a look at what we found. Can you name any of them?

Fairtrade Breakfast P1a
Today we made porridge. We added Fairtrade honey, blueberries and bananas. Some of us tried it and it was yummy!
Primary 4 – Traidcraft Snack Attack Challenge 2016
We had great fun working in our groups on the Fairtrade Snack Attack Challenge 2016. We had to create a new Fairtrade product, design new packaging, write a list of the ingredients, create a logo, write a slogan and finally create a TV advert to promote our product. The Fairtrade committee will meet after the Easter break to choose the winning entry. Details will be announced on the blog.
Fairtrade Coffee Morning Update

P2 FAIRTRADE MUFFIN RECIPE
Some children in Primary 2 have been asking for a copy of the Fairtrade Muffin recipe that we used on Wednesday. Here it is if any keen parents want to have a go! Remember to make sure you use Fairtrade ingredients where possible!
P2, P2/3 and P3 Germ Busters
We have been learning about keeping safe in the kitchen as part of our Health and Wellbeing lessons this term. We have learned about safe and hygienic food preparation, storage and cooking.
All three classes enjoyed a visit from Mrs MacIntyre who taught us about germs and the importance of keeping our hands clean. She used a special light that showed up the germs on our hands before and after washing them. She also brought her cuddly germ friend to tell us that not all germs are bad germs.
Thank you Mrs MacIntyre.
First Heat of the Great Glen Bake Off
A huge well done to everyone who took part in the first heat of the Great Glen Bake Off. We were extremely impressed with the standard of cooking and the talented bakers we have in school! Well done to all the children in P1-3 who did a super job decorating cakes. Mrs Burke and the Captains tasted all the bakes and had the tough decision of choosing two bakes to put through to the final. Congratulations to Max and Leo who have made it through to the P4-7 final.
Fairtrade Coffee Morning – Sit Down for Breakfast, Stand Up For Farmers
Mrs McDaid and the Fairtrade committee would like to thank all parents, carers, relatives and friends for attending our Fairtrade coffee morning. It was a great success. The children were keen to talk about the work they have been doing in class and how everyone can help farmers to get a fair price for their products. A special mention to Glenmanor Parent Council for all their support today. The amount raised will be posted on the Glenmanor Blog as soon as possible and all proceeds will go to the Fairtrade Foundation.

P2 LITTER PICK BAR GRAPH
P2 are learning all about bar graphs. We made a bar graph showing all the types of rubbish that we found when we did a litter pick. We brought the litter back to class and sorted it into different kinds of litter. Then we counted it using tally marks. We put the information into a bar graph and answered some questions about our graph.
“There were 63 sweet wrappers and that was the most” – Andrew A
“Fruit was the least popular” – Chloe M
“Crisps were the second most” – Cameron F
“Bottles and cartons altogether were 16” – David Y
We also think that people should make sure they put their litter in the bin!
