Coffee Morning

The children loved baking in preparation for the school coffee morning. The Primary 1’s made chocolate crispies and the Primary 2’s made Malteser Squares.

It was great to have parents into the school again. The children were so excited to see their families and enjoy the tea, coffee, juice and homebakes together.

It was a very busy classroom with excited children showing their parents and families all the things they like to do and have been learning about this term.

Parents Jobs

It has been wonderful to have so many visitors in the school recently and the children have loved hearning about the different jobs people do.

Carina’s mam came in and told the children about being a dental nurse.

Alfie’s mum came in and told them about being a nurse and showed them lots of different things she uses in her job.

Mandy from the kitchen came and spoke to the children about what she has to do in her job as a cook. They had to guess what some of the items were that she brought with her. They especially loved the salad spinner and the protective specs!

Willum’s mam and dad came in to tell the children about their jobs. Louise is a pharmacist and the children found out about how important it is to only take medicine given by an adult and never eat a sweetie if you don’t know what it is or who it is from. They really enjoyed the peerie quiz ‘Is it a sweet or a medicine?’

Davie is an officer on a boat and they loved seeing the photos and finding out about the different jobs people do on the boats. He has travelled all around the world and spoke to the children about the different journeys and places he has been too.

Making Soup from Scratch

The childrenĀ  used vegetables they grew in the polycrub to make soup. They pulled up carrots onions and snipped some coriander leaves to take indoors.

They washed, chopped and prepared the vegetables. The children listened so well and were very careful with the vegetable knives.

 

The vegetables went in the pan with a stock cube, the coriander and some salt and the classroom smelt wonderful.

 

 

 

A few of the children liked the soup but lots of them said they didn’t- at least they gave it a go.
