Pupils visit Cromlix House Hotel.

The 8 Bake Off finalists went to spend some time at Cromlix House Hotel this afternoon.  They were given a tour of the hotel and the garden area.  The children were taught how to properly decorate cup cakes.  A huge thank you to head pastry chef Balazs for teaching the children these new skills.  Also thanks to Darin and Sharon for the garden tour and refreshments!

Here are the children icing their cupcakes and learning new skills by Balazs.

Here are some of the iced cakes produced by the children. A selection of roses and cactus.

We then had a tour of the Cromlix garden with Darin.  We tasted some of the different herbs which are growing and the edible flowers.

THE GREAT DUNBLANE BAKE OFF

The Great Dunblane Bake Off took place on Friday the 12th of May.   The pupils all worked very hard to produce tasty and creative cakes.   We had a range of Judges including The Dunblane Hilton, Tilly’s Tearoom, Leigh from the Dunblane Centre, DJ, Nathan, Margaret and Krissie.  It was a difficult decision to make!  The 8 winners will bake their cakes independently on Friday the 19th of May in the school kitchen.

We invited the Community of Dunblane in to sample the cakes on Friday afternoon and at the same time we managed to raise £240.  This money will go towards ingredients for the pupils to use in the kitchen.

P6G in the Learning Lab

We were in the Learning Lab on Tuesday the 21st of March.  We were learning about states of matter (Solid, liquid and gasses).  We wanted to investigate how temperature altered the state of matter.

There were two groups, 1 group making scrambled eggs and the other group were melting chocolate and making toast.

When we made scrambled egg we turned liquid into solid this is an irreversible change because we could not get the liquid back.  Turing bread into toast was also an irreversible change.

When we used heat to melt chocolate into a liquid and let it cool back into a solid, we experienced a reversible change.
