The children in Room 13 had the chance to make a chicken curry from scratch today. They were able to experience new tastes and smells as they handled various spices, such as turmeric and garam masala.
Everyone had the chance to prepare the vegetables and spices and we all sat together as a class to eat our delicious curry. Some people like it so much that they had second helpings and many have taken a recipe sheet home with them. We’re looking forward to hearing tales of children cooking for their parents this weekend!
The children in Primaries 6 & 7 have been very busy making animations using their Anderson Shelters. You can watch all of their videos on our Vimeo page here:
The children from Rooms 13 and 14 were busy making pancakes yesterday. They were using their measuring skills in a real life situation, as they had to weigh all of the ingredients to make the batter.
The children in Primaries 6 and 7 have made these amazing Anderson Shelters and are now using them to make animations. Here you can see them preparing their story boards and backgrounds. Watch this space for the completed animations…
Pupil voice groups met today to take our ideas forward. The eco group were auditing our playground equipment and the St Andrew’s Ambassadors were raising awareness of the Hospice by colouring logos to display around the school.
Today we took part in a science experiment to find out whether we are non tasters, tasters or super tasters. We had to coat the front of our tongues in food colouring then count the number of papillae in one small section. These are the tiny lumps that cover our tongues. Those of us who have five or fewer in the small area are non tasters, if we have between six and ten we are tasters and if we have more than ten we are super tasters. We discovered that in Room 13, two of us are non tasters, ten are tasters and we have seven super tasters!
