Primary 1 cooking 🧑🍳
Primary 1 have had a super learning week.
We spent some time in the garden harvesting some vegetables 🥔 🥕 and turnip. Finding our vegetable treasure was very exciting. We got to use garden tools and had to dig deep to find them. They were very dirty, so we have spent time cleaning them. Lots of discussion was had on what we could make with them.
There was enough for us all to take one home!
The cleaning was lots of fun, we enjoyed looking at them once all the dirt was washed off.
We then peeled and chopped the vegetables and put them in a pot to make soup, we added water, lentils, stock cubes and mixed it before putting it on the cooker. We bought some extra vegetables from the shop to add to our soup.
Once the soup was cooked we buttered some bread and had a taste of it, some of us ate more than one bowl of soup, it was that tasty. Some of us just smelt the soup as we were unsure and some of us only had bread.

Artist Study in P4
As part of our IDL topic of Europe we will look at some famous people from across Europe. This week we started with France and the famous painter Claude Monet. We learned he was born in Paris and was an artist from a young age. He is famous for his impressionist style and we started to study his techniques. We focused on watercolours and we learned 4 techniques which can be used with watercolour paint. Next week we will use those techniques to create a ‘Water Lillies’ picture just like Claude Monet.
