What a very messy afternoon we had at cooking club today!
We melted chocolate and made chocolate covered apples and bananas and decorated them with sprinkles 🍫 🍎 🍌 it was lots of fun and very messy! Once we decorated our apples and bananas we then got to dip marshmallows into the melted chocolate 🍫 it was very yummy and sticky.
Some of us ate all our goodies but some of us have them in the fridge to take home tomorrow.
We are looking forward to the next block of cooking club already 😀
Last week P6 enjoyed the European day of languages and particularly enjoyed tasting baguettes, cheese and sausages!
On Friday we had a super fun Sharing our Learning! First we showed parents what we do in reading, then we went outside to share some games we learned at camp! Parents weren’t at all competitive – NOT! Well done everyone!
Thank you so much to all of the grown ups who joined us today for writing. We hope you enjoyed our morning dance, reading our stories and playing our literacy games.
The tooth fairy is picking up quite a lot of business in this class just now! Have a great weekend.
We had a fantastic morning at our first Big Breakfast and Sharing Our Learning event of this session. What a fantastic turn out from our families! Thank you to everyone who came along, we loved showing you the fantastic things that we have been learning in St. Mary’s.
P6R have had a great week taking part in different activities relating to Maths during Scottish Numeracy Week. We have created art using deans blocks to show 3-digit numbers. We also challenge each other to solve various maths problems.
What a brilliant week we had to celebrate all things Maths and STEM on this Scottish Numeracy Week. Linked to our topic, Night and day, our pupils wanted to learn all about torches. We decided to build our own torches from scratch using Circuit materials.
This week in gardening 🧑🌾 club we were working on the new sensory garden that everyone in the school is helping to create. The first stage is digging out the soil. We had to safely use the shovels to dig out the turf and put it in the wheel barrow.
We had lots of fun with numbers this week, lots of games and counting. We even managed to use the vegetables we collected from the garden to make a chart and practice counting.
On Friday we had the chance to come to breakfast club with our adults. We got to choose lots of tasty things and sit with our family and friends.
The adults then got to come into our class to to see us doing literacy work. We did our Free Writing Friday, and we showed our grown ups or writing and sounds jitters.
We loved showing our adults our classroom and our wonderful work.
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.
