The Viking theme continues…

This morning we made oatcakes in class. Although Vikings would have ground the oats using a quern and cooked them over a fire, we had our oats ground in a food processor and cooked in an electric oven. We did shape them by hand and enjoyed tasting them with strawberry jam. Delicious!!  Check out the photos to follow our recipe and make them at home.  Our recipe makes 8 oatcakes.  This afternoon we used clay to make replica Thor’s Hammers.

We started our reading challenge booklet and will keep them in school. Pupils can choose a book from home to bring in as a personal reader or choose one from the class library. Check out the website www.readingchallenge.scot to get ideas and recommendations on books to read.
