Primary 1 have spent a lot of time this week talking and thinking about our mummies. We spoke about what makes our mummy special.  Miss Toner and Mrs Macdonald spoke about their mummies too.  Miss Toner’s mummy is kind and funny.  Mrs Macdonald told her boys and girls that her mummy gives good cuddles and makes the best cup of tea in the whole world !   We want our mummies to know that we love them very much.

Happy Mother’s Day when it comes to our lovely mummies.

Love from,

All of the boys and girls in P1a, P1b , Mrs Macdonald and Miss Toner.

Famous Fudge… Recipe Revealed!

12 Comments

As a special treat for our Mums, on Thursday and Friday last week, Primary 5 made  Milkybar and Oreo Fudge! After a lengthy debate we have finally came to the decision that we should share our ‘secret’ recipe with the rest of the school. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do! If you decide to make it leave us a comment and tell us how you got on!

Ingredients:

400g of white chocolate

1 pack Oreo biscuits

1 tin condensed milk (about 400g)

You will need:

Microwave

Mixing bowls and spoons

Sharp knife (make sure an adult helps you)

Baking Tray

Method:

1. Chop up all the Oreos into small pieces (lots of crumbs will make the fudge look grey!)

2. Break up all the white chocolate and put it in the mircowave (keep checking it incase it burns!)

3. Add the condensed milk to the white chocolate and put in all the chopped Oreos.

4. Mix everything together.

5. Spread the mixture into a medium sizes baking tray, make sure you use grease proof paper or it will stick to the tray!

6. Leave in the fridge over night.

7. Chop into squares and enjoy!

Presents that Protect the Planet!

1 Comment

Last week LUSH  from Livingston Centre visited the St Nicholas to talk to primary 5 about how they source ingredients for their products fairly and in a way that protects the environment. It was very interesting and we all learned a lot about fair trade and about rare ingredients from all over the world!

We were particularly concerned about the use of palm oil in products after our presentation from Joss, Hannah S and Georgia. Luckily LUSH never use palm oil in any of their products.

After their presentation LUSH set up a stall for everyone to buy gifts for their Mum’s for Mother’s Day on Sunday! There were hand creams, bath bombs, bath  jellies and soap bars on offer, the upper area smelled wonderful all day.

There was lots of discussion and mental maths in action as boys and girls from across the school helped each other work out how much they could buy with the money they had and how much change they would receive.
