P6/7 Get Cooking!

Our P6/7 children are currently attending after schools cooking classes run by our resident cookery expert, Jacinta. The 6 week course has an Olympic theme with a competing country represented each week. China was the focus this week and the delicious smell of sweet and sour chicken filled the school corridors. Chopsticks and fortune cookies also added to the occasion.

Art Workshop

Our local Little People playgroup joined Ms Quinn's P1/2 class for an Art workshop recently.
