What’s cooking in the kitchen?
Great little cooks in Third and Fourth Class! They made delicious brown scones in cookery class and learned all about egg glaze and sesame seed! We chatted about the iomportance of fibre in our diet and learned about flouring the baking tin. We love being in the kitchen. The best part is sampling our cooking!Super Tennis Lessons
Fifth and Sixth class pupils are really enjoying tennis lessons this term. We all like being active.
