Thank you to everyone who came along to our French afternoon on Wednesday. We had a busy morning drumming in assembly, but then got straight to work preparing the classroom for an afternoon with family and friends and of course some French treats too!
Lena’s Dad was determined to win the french colours dominoes game!
Ronan made a fantastic Eiffel Tower!
A french version of The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
Parents helped too!
This french number matching game was popular with children of all ages.
Leighton tries a game of colour dominoes. I wonder who won…?
A happy afternoon for all involved!

Bienvenue!
Not as easy as it looks!
Well done John for making all of those crepes all afternoon! Thank you!

The Lego Eiffel Tower is underway…
Iona enjoyed sharing some treats with her Mum.
Thank you Mrs Sutherland for all your help on the day too!
Leighton had fun building his Eiffel Tower.
Brothers and sisters came to visit as well.
I wonder who can build The Eiffel Tower with spaghetti and play dough!
Enjoying a french story together.
Christina enjoyed having her little brother to visit.
P1/2 have been using the laptops to research French food this term as part of their Food topic. Some food sounded really yummy – macarons, crepes, baguettes and tarte tatin just to name a few. Others were a bit surprising. Have you ever tried frogs legs and snails?!
We decided that we wanted to try making some of the yummy treats for family and friends to enjoy. Once we found some simple recipes, we wrote shopping lists and began the preparations for our French afternoon. Invitations were made and sent out. Then it was time to begin making and baking! We also made a milk chocolate tarte and a white chocolate tarte but forgot to take photos!!
Roma was busy making her own notes on French food.
Ryan and Elijah worked as a team to find out about baguettes and took notes to share with the class.
P2 were super helpers for the P1s. There was a lot of information to look through and they had to decide what was important to write down.
Conor carefully looked through the recipes to make sure he had included everything in his shopping list.
Elijah read out the ingredients for Freya to add to her shopping list.
Time to begin the first crepe mixture.
Everyone enjoys cracking the eggs! Watch out for egg shells!
Conor made sure Aiden poured just the right amount of milk.
Roma takes a break from beating her eggs to check the milk too!
Leo and Freya worked as a team to pour and measure the right amount of milk.
tap…tap…tap…
Everyone was busy pouring, measuring and mixing.
Iona begins mixing all of the ingredients together.
Freya’s turn next!
Next up…mini chocolate croissants.
Roll them up….
Roma seems happy with her croissant!
When the pupils finished each croissant, they added them to the tray.
Keep rolling…we need to make more!
Georgia and Elijah worked together to lightly brush some egg on top of each one.
