Today P2 went for a winter walk to come up with some good ideas and words for our winter poem. Armed with clipboards and pencils we worked in teams to think about what we could see, hear, taste, smell and touch in winter. We also talked about how we were feeling.

Some amazing observations and ideas included;

” drips as the ice melts”

” the stones feel like little balls when you move your feet around”

“I liked to see the bubbles when you step on the ice a little”

ice ” cracking”, ” tingling”, ” crunching” , “squeak”

Primary 2 have been learning about the Jewish faith. They have been practising writing in Hebrew and made some scrolls and jewelled scroll holders.

We also had fun making Jewish potato latkes, here is the recipe.

450g potatoes grated      1. Squeeze  potatoes  dry on kitchen roll

1 onion finely chopped    2. Mix egg and salt  into onion and potato

1 egg beaten                          3. Heat oil and fry 2 tbsp. of mixture

1/2 tsp salt                              4. Serve warm when cooked through

We have been learning that recipes need

1. A list of ingredients and equipment
2. Instructions in the correct order
