Baking Pies

We decided that we would like to bake our own pies - but fruit pies not bird pies like Mr Twit!




We collaborated in our groups to see what fruits we might use and we came up with apple and cinnamon, strawberry and lemon, mixed fruit and raspberry and blueberry.



We made the pies by placing some pastry on a pie tin first. Then we chopped the fruit and put it on top of the pastry. Next we sprinkled a little sugar on top of the fruit. Finally we placed some pastry on top of the fruit, brushed the top with milk and cut a few holes to let the steam escape.



Miss Kingsley kindly agreed to bake our pies in the school kitchen and she even brought them up to Room 9 in the afternoon! She said they smelt delicious!



Here we are about to tuck in!

The Twits

We took each other's photos and made ourselves look like hairy twits!

Our new topic is about "The Twits" by Roald Dahl.  The Twits are really disgusting because they never wash, they fight and they play tricks on each other!  We are looking forward to finding out what happens to them throughout the book.

We started off by looking at the different parts of a book such as the front and back covers, the spine, the contents page and where you find the publisher.  We found out that the illustrator of the book is called Quentin Blake.

Mrs Twit has a glass eye which she took out and left at the bottom of Mr Twit's glass of beer - isn't she disgusting!  We decided to make her picture with a moveable glass eye.  See what you think of them below.


You just have to pull the tab to see her four different glass eyes!

 To pay her back for her nasty trick Mr Twit decided to leave a frog in Mrs Twit's bed - what a  horrible pair they are!  We looked at the life cycle of a frog and we are going to try the quiz where you drag and drop the names.

We made giant frogs using split pins where all the joints in the legs are.  Primary 3 are going to leave comments about which activity they have enjoyed most so far.
