Ben Shows His Microscope

January 15, 2016 User deactivated Leave a comment

Ben (an ex pupil of Braco Primary School) came to our class and showed us his digital microscope.

We used it to check if our hands were clean. OH OH! Some were surprised that they were not as clean as they thought.

We used it to look at our hair, in our ears, nose and mouths!

We also looked at some materials close up like Mrs Baxter’s ring and Ben’s football shirt. Thanks for coming along Ben to demonstrate this.

Making Fruit Kebabs

January 15, 2016 User deactivated Leave a comment

Today we made Fruit Kebabs as part of our Health subject.

We looked at how fruit is good for us, the journeys the food had travelled to us and whether these journeys are good for the environment.

We then got down to making these with the help of Hazel.

Lots of us thought this was a good way to eat fruit!

Baking Christmas Biscuits

January 4, 2016 User deactivated Leave a comment

The children learned different skills when making Christmas biscuits.

They learned and followed hygiene rules throughout baking.

They followed the recipe, took turns, measured with scales, beat ingredients together, roll out the mixture and use cutters too.

Finally in the afternoon, they got to taste them too!

Deep Sea World

September 28, 2015 User deactivated Leave a comment

Today we visited Deep Sea World.

First of all we saw frogs and lizards from the Rain Forest.

Next we met Sam who talked about litter in the sea and how it damages sea life. She also had a rock pool and taught us about spider crabs, hermit crabs, sea urchins, anemones and starfish. We were able to touch these too.

After that we went outside and saw the seals being fed fish.

Next of all we went into the centre and saw all different types of fish including piranha, sharks and rays. We had a great time going round the tunnel and seeing the sharks swimming all around us!

We had lunch and visited the shop too. Unfortunately it was time to go home.

A big thank you to Hazel who came along and was our helper!

Potato Pancakes

July 8, 2015 User deactivated Leave a comment

What a treat P1/2/3 had when Mrs Chalamanda came and showed us how to make Potato Pancakes!

The children were all able to help in the cooking process and of course were then able to try them afterwards. They were delicious!

The class also decided to name this our favourite potato recipe to enter the potato competition.

Thank you Mrs Chalamanda for coming into our classroom and teaching us how to make these wonderful pancakes

Tour de France Day

July 8, 2015 User deactivated Leave a comment

P1/2/3 had a team building day related to the Tour de France.

They had to design a poster for their cycling racing team which were based on real professional cycling teams. They had to make bunting for our special afternoon and they also had to find a player in their team who they were going to be and make up their own racing number.

In the afternoon of our Tour de France, the teams had to sign in, just like they do in the real Tour.

After all this, it was off to their bikes and the team races began! In these they had a chance to win points for their team in obstacle races, team sprints and individual races.

In the end Team Sky won! (It wasn’t a fix.)

You never know, judging by these potatoes!

Potatoes Boulangere

June 17, 2015 User deactivated Leave a comment

P1/2/3 made yesterday Potatoes Boulangere.

When making these they had to peel the potatoes, which was quite a tricky job. They then had to slice the potatoes and leeks too.

They had to follow recipe instructions, measure correctly and keep safe when cooking.

As you will see from the picture they did an amazing job!

This week we were up in the forest and were building dens.

We all had to work together in our groups to build a solid den in which one or more people could fit into.

One group was very creative and made a garden path and a fire exit with their den.

Thank you very much to Mrs Howie and Mrs Black who came along and helped us build our dens!
