Leave a comment

This term we have been learning how to write instructions. We wrote about ‘How to bake a cake’ and ‘How to tie your shoelaces’.

“I enjoyed making the poster for how to tie your shoelaces” – Hunter

“I enjoyed making the cakes because we got to draw pictures and write it step-by-step” – Honey

“We got to tie our shoes and I didn’t know how to tie my shoes so you can copy it to learn how to tie your shoes” – Rosie

“I learned how to tie my shoelaces and Kane helped me learn how to” – Heidi

This term we also read ‘Da Elves and da Shoemakker’ written by Julie Dennison which is a Shetland version of the well-known story ‘The Elves and the Shoemaker’.

“We read the story and it’s called da elves and da shoemakker and Hunter brought it in” – Cameron

“We picked out our favourite Shetland words to translate into English” – Hunter

“I really liked the story because it was in Shetland and most of the stories we read are in English” – Honey

Cullivoe School Wins Best in children’s Baking

1 Comment

We entered our cake into the novelty cake section in the Yell Show on the 3rd of September. It was the best cake there as it received a first AND won ‘Best in children’s baking’.  It was a tough competition as there was other great cakes in this category.  We made other little sheep and entered these into a different category – we got a well done and a second for these. Emma and Jessica bought the little cakes and the Lawson’s bought the big cake. They took some of the cake into school for us to eat on the Monday, it was very sweet.

Preparing for the Yell Show

Leave a comment

On Monday 29th of August we decided we would make a cake to enter into the Yell show. We had to decide what to make and decided on a sheep cakeas it is an agricultural show. Then on Thursday the 1st of September we baked the best cake anyone has ever seen! The whole school baked with Miss Nicholson and Miss Jamieson.  We worked as a team and got into groups to make a different part of the cake. There was a team making the icing, a team making the big cake and 4 groups making fairy cakes (this was for the sheep). Ruby, Abbie and Jasmine designed how the cake would look thinking about the icing, the fencing and where the sheep would go. At golden time on Friday we decorated the cake – icing the big slab of cake to make it look like a park, we used curlywurlys and chocolate fingers to make a fence then decorated the individual fairy cakes to make them look like sheep by using mini marshmallows. Kane made one cake look like a dog. Miss Nicholson had bouht edible flowers so we used these to decorate the cake and used chocolate chips to make it look like sheep pirls.
