A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
Bonjour! Here are some photos of Primary 1/2 having their snack in the French cafe style last week. Â 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. Â Au revoir!
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.
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.Â
My favourite bit was:
Primary 4 have been learning all about the digestive system. After discussing all the different stages involved in turning our food into nutrients and energy for our body, we created storyboards to describe the journey a piece of food makes.
This week Primary 1 have been learning about Robert Burns.
We drew portraits of him (which you can see in the picture) and wrote words and sentences about him.
We learned..
We are looking forward to our own Burns supper tomorrow!
Until later 🙂

This afternoon the children in the Nursery were finding out how the carrots, onions, peas and potatoes they planted in the Spring had grown over the Summer. Here are the results!
Today we talked about all of the things we had learned this term and the things that we had enjoyed the most. This term our favourite things have been: the P4 Benchball Festival, tasting lots of different types of foods for our Food topic, using Sum Dog and maths games/challenges to help us learn different skills in maths, learning how to write different types of poems and creating art work in the style of different artists.  We also really enjoyed learning all about Easter with Mrs Hull.
We hope everybody has a lovely Easter holiday see you all soon.

This week we have been learning about food and where it comes from.   We used a website called Food a Fact of Life it told us lots of facts and we watched a video and played a game called Plant or Animal. We had a visit from Scottish Power and we learned the dangers of electricity and the reasons not to play with or near electricity.
