P1c One Planet Picnic – 27 Sept

Today we enjoyed preparing our Scottish Cheddar cheese and Linlithgow apples grown in Iona’s garden for the One Planet Picnic. As you can see in the photographs we all took turns at cutting and putting the cheese and apples on the cocktail sticks.  Thank goodness we have been practising our fine motor skills over the last few weeks – we were all fantastic and no one got jabbed or stabbed! The best part however, was getting to eat  the snack at the picnic where we also had some Scottish oatcakes and some carrots which had been harvested from the school garden with a little help from Mrs Spori!

Unfortunately due to the weather the picnic was in the hall.

Here are some photographs of different activities that we have been doing over the last few weeks to help develop our fine motor skills.

 

 

 

Harvest Haul

Today, some pupils from P7A spent some time in the school garden harvesting the vegetables that we have been growing over the summer.

We dug up carrots, radishes, shallots, turnips and A LOT of onions! We were delighted and surprised to find lots of wonky looking veggies, particularly our carrots!

We have been busy weighing, washing and trimming the veggies ready to be shared with the school.

If you would like to take some of our school veggies home to try, please ask Ms Orskov for some this week. You’ll need to be quick, as stocks are limited, so it will be on a first come, first served basis.

All we ask is that you take a picture of yourself creating something yummy with your veggies and send it in to us. You can email it to the school office for the attention of Ms Orskov at wllinlithgow-ps@westlothian.org.uk

Good luck with your recipes! We look forward to seeing pictures of your creations.

Mrs Paton, Ms Orskov and P7A
