Jump Rope Report

What a fantastic effort everyone put in to their hopping, skipping and jumping today at our Jump Rope for Heart event!

Top skippers on the 30 second challenge included Bailey, Jay, John-Paul, Josh, Mrs Mooney, Jessica, Courtney, Lewis, Cameron, Ben, Jamie-Lee, Josh and Amy.

Well done to everyone for all your hard work, I know you got your hearts working harder today with all that exercise. The weather was very kind to us, with the first drops of rain waiting until we were ready to pack up the ropes!

Thank you to Primary 6 for all their help in organising the rota, writing the letters to give out, and supervising the different activity stations today.

The next job will be to collect in the sponsor forms and sponsor money! Please return your sponsor form and money raised as soon as you can (perhaps when you get your breath back?) and we’ll blog the total raised when we have it.

A taste of French Cuisine in Primary 1 and 1/2

Bonjour! Here are some photos of Primary 1/2 having their snack in the French cafe style last week.  Primary 1 and Primary 1/2 have been learning about different French food and got to taste baguette as they drank their milk.

We used french to say please and thank you to the waiters and to count out the money to pay the bill at the end.  Au revoir!

Jump Rope for Heart

This Friday is our Jump Rope for Heart event – a sponsored skip in aid of the British Heart Foundation.

This charity work to save lives and make life better for people with heart disease. The British Heart Foundation also work with schools through their Heartstart programme to train children in emergency first aid.

We are now an affiliated  Heartstart school and Primary 2, 4, and 6 have been learning these very important skills with Mrs Hull using resources sent to us by the BHF. Now we want to give something back and help them to continue their work with other schools.

Sponsor forms will be coming home on Wednesday!! On Friday morning each class will take part in skipping activities for 45 minutes using long and short ropes with Primary 6 on hand to help with the counting.

Which class will manage the most skips without stopping? Who will show skipping style on the long ropes? Can the teachers keep up?

Primary 1 and 1/2 radio show! Coming soon!

In RME this week we listened carefully to the CBeebies radio show about Leo’s special day – Easter Sunday.  We learned that he had spent the day hunting eggs on a farm, rolling some eggs down a hill, then his mum cooked the eggs and he had one for lunch with toast soldiers.

We thought about what we did at Easter in our families.  Then we recorded our own radio show! Mrs Hull is hoping to add it to the blog very soon so you can listen to the things we did at Easter. It’s very eggciting to hear our voices on the computer. How did you celebrate in the Easter holidays? Leave your comments here for us to see.

P5 and P7 get a taste for learning about Food

Primary 5 and Primary 7 came together today to learn from Mr Rose, a chef from the Scottish Parliament.  He showed us how to prepare a range of fresh fruit then gave us delicious fruit kebabs to try with yoghurt, raspberry coulis or granola he had specially made for us earlier.  Then he used more raspberries, bananas, honey and milk blended together into a tasty smoothie for us. These are awesome ways to eat more fruit !

We then got to see a range of the Scottish produce that is served at the Scottish Parliament.  The catering team there use Scottish ingredients as much as possible to show off Scottish food to the MSPs and visitors.  They also reduce the distance food has to travel and the pollution this would cause.  They make sure to use sustainable ingredients – this means that the way the food is grown, made or caught is carefully thought about so we don’t run out.

We saw honey, oil, chicken, lamb, beef, cheese, chutney and salmon, then we got to taste smoked venison! Then for a grande finale Chef showed us different seafood from Scottish waters including rainbow trout, seabass, plaice and cockles.

It was an excellent presentation and Chef inspired us to try new tastes which we loved! Some of us are even thinking about the world of hospitality for our future careers.

A big thank you to Chef for his hard work, and to the suppliers who generous donated the samples for us to try.

P3 with a Chef!

Last week a Chef (Mr Mellor) made ice cream in our classroom and we got to taste it. It was amazing!  He let us ask him questions on how to make food. He told us recipes. 

My favourite bit was:

P6 weekly blog

Our new topic is rivers. Next week we will be going on a trip to investigate the River Almond. We are going to look at the river at Almondell Country Park and also at Crammond in Edinburgh.  Please make sure you have welly boots and appropriate clothing because we will be outside all day. We will be very tired that night.

P6 have done wonderful imaginative writing about The Beast.  It was difficult to choose, but this week’s star writer is Dolce.  Well done everyone.
