Over the past few weeks we have been doing a lot of cooking. We have done 3 delicious recipes since the summer holidays. The reason we are learning to cook is not just because it is in the curriculum but also because it is a basic.
The three recipes we made were Spanish omelette, Sublime Sables and also an amazing apple crumble. I enjoyed these recipes because they are from all around the world. As the name suggests Spanish Omelettes are from Spain, Sublime Sables are from France and of course apple crumble is from Great Britan. I did find some bits of off the recipes tricky but I enjoyed it as it was quite challenging. My favourite recipe has to be the Sublime Sables. The main reason for this is because it has cheese in it and I love cheese. This recipe was quite easy as it didn’t need a huge amount of prep. My partner for this recipe was Fraser and when we were putting them in the boxes we tried one and we both said at the exact same time “SOFT MELTY CHEESE AND A CRUNCHY CRUST.” We both agreed that they were absolutely delicious.
I thought all three of these recipes were delicious and I would like to thank Ms McTeir for taking the time to find these recipes. I would also like to thank Peter for donating the apples to the school to Emma the cook for letting us use the equipment. I would finally like to thank all of my partners as all of the recipes were a joint effort.
On the 28th of May, Fraser, Rory, Lucas and I attended the annual Scottish Borders Chess Competition in the Volunteers Hall, Galashiels. There were twenty five schools at the competition. We were playing in the fourth league and played five matches; against St Boswells, Burgh, Denholm, Gordon and St Peters.
I was very proud as I won against St Boswells and St Peters. I really enjoyed having the opportunity to represent my school and also loved meeting new people and learning new rules. This was overall a great experience to be a part of.
I played my first match against a boy from St Boswells and he made me think with a lot of my moves. It was a tight game but right at the end I captured his queen and I won by a few points. That is why that was my best game.
I would like to thank our very kind chess teacher Sharon Dalziel and I also would like to thank her for taking us.

Last week I went on my primary 6 residential at Kingswood. I got to try a wide range of new activates including abseiling and climbing. We also did some more relaxed activities such as walking and team challenges. This really helped build my social confidence and I got to meet lots of new people.
I enjoyed making friends with people from neighbouring schools. I liked learning about lighting fires and not just surviving but thriving. My favourite activate was defiantly the 3G Swing.
Thank you so much to the Kingswood Team!
