Pizza Making

We found out just how much work (and mess) goes into making pizzas when we were in the learning lab on Tuesday.

It was really fun to make the dough although it was very sticky and stuck to everything from our hands to our aprons.   We made the tomato sauce using chopped tomatoes, crushed garlic and thyme.  We then prepared different vegetables for our toppings including peppers, onion, cherry tomatoes, sweetcorn and cheese before putting our pizzas into the oven for 15-20 minutes.

They were delicious!

Hannah’s Little Princess Haircut

One day, when my mum was getting her haircut she showed me pictures of her friend’s daughter who cut and donated her hair to the Little Princess Trust.  I decided then that I too wanted to make a difference and donate my hair to charity.

My hair was already really long (as you can see in the picture).  My mum set up a Just Giving page as, not only did I want to donate my hair but I also wanted to raise money for the charity.  I did a lot of research on the charity and shared this with my class just before Christmas. On Friday 22nd of December, when school closed for the Christmas holidays, I headed off to the hairdressers and got 9 1/2 “ of hair cut off and this was sent away to the charity along with my donation.

I set myself a target of raising £150 and couldn’t believe my eyes when I looked at my Just Giving page and saw that I had managed to raise £552!!!

I love my new shorter hairstyle (even more than I did my old hairstyle) and would definitely recommend donating, either hair or money, to the Little Princess Trust charity.By Hannah Fitzpatrick

Charity Presentations

As part of our Christmas from Miss Spiers, we are going to donate money to a charity of our choice.  We have been working in groups over the last few weeks and, using Office Create on GLOW, have worked collaboratively to make a PowerPoint informing our classmates of our chosen charity.

Today two groups presented.  James R and Freddie spoke about PADS (Perthshire Abandoned Dogs Society) and another groups spoke about the Butterfly Trust.

The Butterfly Trust are a charity who help people with Cystic Fribrosis.  We were lucky enough to be visited by Lisa Hertwig, a former pupil of Mrs Gallivans, who has CF and who had a double lung transplant just last year!

The Butterfly Trust have helped Lisa in many ways over the years by;

  • Helping her find adequate accommodation with no stairs, double glazing and central heating
  • Providing massage therapy whilst she was in hospital
  • Providing transport to and from her hospital in Edinburgh before she passed her driving test

We are inspired by the work of both of these charities and are looking forward to hearing the rest of the presentations tomorrow.
