“What did Vikings eat?” asked Primary 4.
During our recent visit to Tesco, one team of shoppers bought a selection of healthy Viking snacks. We know from our research that they would have eaten berries, oatcakes, honey, and eggs. It was important to take preserved food on long voyages. In our novel, Horned Helmet, the raiders had cured ham and pickled herring – washed down with barley ale.
All Classes experience Outdoor Learning – in the Sun!
Have a look at all the activities planned by the teachers. All positive feedback from all… watch out for more Outdoor Learning at school! 🙂

P4’s visit to Tesco
A huge thank you to Tracey at Tesco for hosting Primary 4’s Farm to Fork session yesterday. The three groups of shoppers collected healthy ingredients for breakfast, lunch and dinner – all carefully following the Eat Well Plate guidelines. Tracey had prepared some delicious healthy snacks for us to have at break time. Well done everyone for trying something different (and to those who took part in the prune challenge.)
We were very surprised when comparing the sugar content per serving of popular cereals. The children then made muesli, crammed with seven different fruits and 
seeds, which they are going to have for breakfast this morning.
Primary 1
This week the children have continued to settle into the class routines. They have started their reading books in class, but since these are non-word books these are being used to develop comprehension and understanding of books.
In maths we have been looking at pattern and using play activities, along with workbooks to develop the children’s understanding of a repeating pattern with colour, shape and/or size. This was a bit tricky for some but these concepts will be revisited.
We have started learning our sounds and this week we have learned about ‘m’ and ‘c’. Many activities have been used, including songs, actions and stories to help children recall the letter name, shape and help them write these letters.
The children also had a fabulous time when the drama company came and dramatized ‘Charlotte’s Web’.
Well done P1!
