Day: February 5, 2024

This morning we had a French tasting session between Primary 6 and Primary 7.

We had the opportunity to taste a variety of some French themed foods including: brie, camembert, croissants, brioche and baguettes. The pupils then had to record their views about the foods and research how to say them in French. We had a challenge activity to find out why certain foods exist.

Who knew that it was rumoured that the French baguette was created for soldiers. The long shape apparently meant that it was easier for the soldiers to carry bread during a war!

I’m not so sure that we were all a fan of the pungent French cheeses though, well done to everyone who had a go at tasting them!

In Primary 7 we have gathered our questions and curiosities about our Ethical Living context. Have a look at some of the questions we have come up with.

We have already started to explore ethical branding, toilet rolls and how our eggs are produced and farmed. We are planning our questions around what might affect our future and we are having some rich discussions about how we are influenced in the media.
