Stepps has a Vist from Santa and his Elf!!
Primary 1K and P1M had a visit from Santa and his Elf. They parked their sleigh on the school roof!!! They had heard that both classes had behaved really well throughout their Nativity rehearsals and had thrilled audiences with both performances of ‘Born in a Barn’. They brought a gift for each child and reminded the children of the importance of maintaining their good behaviour until Christmas Eve. Each child was delighted to have their photograph taken with Santa and his Elf.

Shortbread Making
For part of their Health & Wellbeing topic this term, Primary 3 have been learning all about food hygiene and preparation. On Wednesday last week the children learned how to make and bake shortbread. They selected the appropriate utensils and ingredients and followed the recipe. In groups, they made shortbread dough and used Christmas themed cutters to make angels, bells, xmas trees and stockings biscuits. They really enjoyed the experience and parcelled up their biscuits in gift bags to give to friends and family. Here are some of the photographs taken on the day.

French Bread Pizza Making
What an amazing afternoon we had on Tuesday 13th December. As part of our Health and Wellbeing topic about food labelling and food preparation we had a French Bread Pizza making extravaganza in Primary 5/4. We discussed all the important preparations needed before the making could begin including hand washing, clean area to work, laying out all the equipment, utensils and ingredients you need.
The class were taken in groups to create their pizza from a variety of toppings – passata sauce, wafer thin ham, red onion, diced red, green and orange pepper, plum tomatoes, red cheddar cheese, white cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese. We discussed the importance of making your toppings level so that the ingredients would cook evenly and not burn. The French bread pizzas were put into the oven on a tray for about 8 minutes and were ready to be sampled and eaten if the children wished or taken home to show and share with the family.
The children were involved in different roles from taking pictures to washing dishes and helping with the clearing up and tidying after each group had created their fantastic French bread pizzas. At the end of the lesson I asked some of the children in the class about what they learned from the pizza making and their opinions. Here are some of the responses given.
“I enjoyed it because we were having fun and learning at the same time!” (Olivia McCallum)
“I enjoyed it because when I go home I can make it again myself.” (Jamie Guy)
“I liked it because you get to see, smell and touch the toppings.” (Cara McColl)
“It was the best pizza I’ve ever made!” (Aiden Laurie)
“I enjoyed it. I would definitely do it again!” (Aili Walker)
“I learned we didn’t need a pizza base to make a pizza.” (Matthew Heggie)
“I really enjoyed pizza making in class and I can now make it at home as I liked it and you need very few ingredients.” (Sam Quinn)
“I really enjoyed learning to make pizza and I think I could make it at home now I know how to do it.” (Skye Naismith)
“I enjoyed it because we were learning and having fun.” (Naomi Hutton)
Here are just some of the many amazing photographs that were taken during our pizza making afternoon. Many thanks to Mrs MacLeod and Mrs Miller for all their help and assistance in class. We hope that we will have another cooking or baking session in class later in the school year.
