Smoothie Fun

Today as part of P2/3's Food and Nutrition topic the class were learning how to prepare healthy food and drinks. They worked extremely well with their talking partner to plan what fruits they wanted to use to make a smoothie. Each pair could choose 3 fruits from the list of bananas, mango, apple, raspberries, blueberries and pineapple. Then, they had to decide if they wanted to add yoghurt or orange juice to their mix.  In the end every group ended up making a different type of smoothie without even trying! We were all very interested in what lovely colours the smoothies turned when the fruit got whizzed up in the blender. We had great fun making and trying our very simple, healthy drinks. 

P2/3's Yurt

The boys and girls have been working hard since the start of term planning, organising and doing a lot of problem solving to create their class yurt. They discovered that designing and building a yurt was not as easy as they had anticipated and agreeing on and choosing the materials that were available took some time. The class enjoyed the challenge and came up with great practical solutions throughout. It has been a very rewarding experience for everyone involved and we now have a fun place to play and do activities in. 

Primary 2/3 would like to say a huge thank you to Jim and Micheal for their time and help! 

What's a Gruffalo? Why didn't you know?

"He has terrible tusks, and terrible claws, and terrible teeth in his terrible jaws.”

Today P 2/3 along with other classes from Glaitness and Papdale school went to the cinema to watch The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo's Child. A fun morning had by all!
