Thank you. We enjoyed creating them.

Today we enjoyed a visit our new School Liaison Officer, PC Harper. He answered some of our questions and we looked at the important equipment he uses. We look forward to seeing PC Harper again soon!

We used 250 g of potatoes, 25 g of butter, 50 g of self raising flour and a pinch of salt.  We mixed all the ingredients together and then rolled it out.  We then made triangles for our scones.

Rana  – It felt fun mixing everything up with our hands.  The chipolatas were good with a little bit of ketchup.

Charlie – These were the tastiest tattie scones ever.  Thank you Forsyths for giving us the amazing chipolatas.

Frazer – These wonderful tattie scones were really fun to make and delicious to eat.

George – The chipolatas we good along with the super potato scones.

Lewis – It felt so weird when you mixed the potatoes, butter and flour together.

We had a busy morning on Friday as we worked with our P7 buddies to take part in the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch. We wrapped up warm and enjoyed exploring different areas of the playground. In spite of the cold, we were able to see many different types of birds and we recorded our findings on a table. Then we headed inside to make bird seed feeders and shared some bird-themed stories with our P7 friends.

Eden really enjoyed learning her poems and the actions. She gave us a little show for Burns day

We used crackers and honey to show what can happen at a plate boundary.

A Constructive Plate Margin is when two plates move away from each other causing  gentle volcanic eruptions and a volcano can form.

A Conservative Plate Margin is when two plates slide and rub past each other and this causes very violet earthquakes.

A Destructive Plate Margin  is when oceanic and continental plates move together.  The oceanic plate is forced under the lighter continental plate.  This can trigger earthquakes and volcanoes.

Can you spot match the picture to the

tectonic plate movement?

We worked together to solve our mental maths times tables and division problem.

Well done to these boys and girls who took up the cooking challenge inspired by Mrs Forsyth’s presentation.  Names were put into a hat and the lucky winners received one of the aprons given to us by Mrs Forsyth.  Great work everyone.

Congratulations to our Scottish Poetry Winner Charlie and our Runner-Up Rana.  Well done to everyone who tried to learn their Scottish poem.   Congratulations to our Scottish Singer Winner Tara and our Runner-Up Daniel.

Today we made bird feed fat balls and did the RSPB bird watch with our buddies. It was really good fun and have helped to be a part of a big national survey of birds. Here are some photos showing what we did.
