PUSCPS Celebrates Book Week Scotland

Today we had a Book Week Scotland Assembly to celebrate our learning on the lead up to Book Week Scotland.

Miss Burton read us a passage from The Truth Pixie by Matt Haig, as this is book she enjoys reading.

We looked at some of the photos that children had sent in of them reading in an unusual place. Well done to everyone who sent in a photo!

We watched a video in which children from each class shared what they had been learning in class.

We also celebrated our Living our Values children (and adults).

We have enjoyed reading ‘Wonder’ by R J Palacio. We have done a variety of activities to allow us to develop our emotional vocabulary. We developed our skills in ‘hot seating’ in drama where we had to become the characters from the novel.

Club Wild – Feed the Birds

At Club Wild we have been making fat cakes for the birds.

Here is our quick and easy ‘Club Wild – Bird Fat Cake’ recipe:

Ingredients

– Lard/Vegetable or beef suet

– Porridge oats

Any of the following – bird seed, meal worms, bird nuts, ground nuts, hard cheese

Moulds – yoghurt pots or other plastic tubs, coconut shells, pine cones

– String to tie the mould

Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl until they are bound together. The warmth of our hands made the fat squidgy and sticky. Spoon the mixture into the mould and press it down.

By providing fat for the birds we are helping them put on the weight they need to keep warm and survive the winter. Hopefully we will attract more birds to the school grounds where we can watch and learn more about them.
