Pupils have been busy in the past few weeks in the Home Economics classroom.

S1 pupils have been learning about Christmas food traditions around the world and made up a question each for a class quiz. They have also learned some sewing stitches and used the running stitch and blanket stitch to make a Christmas decoration. Last week they made shortbread and had fun using different shapes to make biscuits, I’ve never seen duck shaped shortbread before!

S2 pupils have had a couple of weeks making biscuits, they made and decorated gingerbread house biscuits with a sweetie glass window and last week they made shortbread.

S3 and S4 have baked mini Christmas cakes baked in a small bean tin and the following lesson they decorated them with marzipan and icing. S4 baked and decorated a Gingerbread house using royal icing.
