Banana Sushi

Last week in primary 7 we were making crepes with Nutella and banana.We made them from scratch with flour, milk and an egg. We mixed them all together and poured the batter into the pan and waited for it to cook. We even attempted to flip the pancakes!

After they were cooked we spread on our Nutella. Then we put our banana at the end of our pancake and carefully rolled it up. Next we cut it into bite size pieces and finally we got to eat them. They were very tasty.

The reason we were cooking this particular recipe was because it has recently been Pancake Tuesday and also because Fairtrade fortnight is focusing on breakfast food. In addition bananas and chocolate are typically associated as Fairtrade produces.

When we were not cooking were writing poems about the things we love and drawing portraits of our self to go with them. (written by Leah and Alexis)

P1b plants topic

As part of our topic ‘the Nectar Collector’ p1b will be learning about and investigating plants. Today we discussed what we already know about plants and what we would like to find out. We then went outside to look at the plants already growing in our school garden!

Glenmanor Garden Committee

Garden birds need extra help at this time of year as food can be hard to find in the winter months.  When the temperature drops, birds need food that is high in fat, sugar and energy to help keep them warm. You can make them a winter feast by mixing lard, seeds, cereals and dried fruits.  Our Garden Committee were busy this week making fat cakes for the birds in our school gardens.

 

 

P2 Class Dojo Growth Mindset

P2 are enjoying a new Class Dojo video clip each week to help them to develop a “Growth Mindset.”

This week, the clip is called, “The Power of Yet” and the boys and girls discussed why the word ‘yet’ is so important. Instead of saying, “I can’t do it,” why not say, “I can’t do it, yet.”

Think of a time where you just didn’t get “it.” What could you do in that situation?

P1b ‘Play Maths’

This afternoon P1b were consolidating some of the maths concepts we have been learning in the past few weeks. We were investigating 3D shapes, directing the Beebots using positional language and playing many different addition games. During ‘play maths’ the children are given the choice of visiting any station they wish within the hour, as long as they visit them all at least once! We LOVE it!
