Ready, Steady Cook! P6/ 7 Winning Class

January 7, 2016 Mrs Martin Leave a comment

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 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!

The boys and girls worked very hard to create these amazing wintry landscapes. They used the medium of oil pastel to make the scene look realistic.

Merry Christmas from P2!

December 21, 2015 M McDaid Leave a comment

We have been getting into the festive mood in our class by designing our own Christmas baubles, Christmas stockings and drawings of Santa and Rudolph. We watched a very interesting video which gave us step by step instructions on how to draw Rudolph.

Mrs McDaid and Primary 4 would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Christmas Around the World Presentations

December 21, 2015 User deactivated Leave a comment

In Primary 5 today we were presenting our research posters about Christmas in different countries. The countries we researched were France, Mexico, India, Japan, Scotland, Germany and Brazil. We researched how to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in our countrie’s languages, we learnt what they call Santa, the food they eat at Christmas and we learnt about the decorations they put up. An interesting fact we learnt was that in India they decorate their house with mango leaves.

We wish you a Merry Christmas!! Can you guess what languages these are?

Primary 4 – Ready Steady Cook Challenge

December 21, 2015 M McDaid Leave a comment

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!
